Welcome to the club. ^-^ I tried sharing my stuff as well, but I realized that it leads to nothing (I'm not doing it for money). And unless it's fan art, no one really cares, and even then, they would only care about the art or "product", not me. I did it in hope to find friends, that was the only reason. So...unless we are extremely lucky, it's not a good way to make (true) friends like this. It's always sad to see yet another creative person, someone who has to offer so much, but in the end it will always be a lonely path.
Joining a forum like this is a very good idea. Just be yourself and you will find fitting people eventually.
Be patient! I made the best experiences by simply being curious and talking to people directly (like in private). It is still hard find some, many people don't have time and are very busy with life, family, work, hobbies etc.
Are you talking about doing commissions?
I hope you have a fantastic time here!
