I can't picture it in my head as anything other than hustling for what you can get here and there, like doing art for a TCG card or making some advertising poster.
There's gonna be exciting things you can do as a freelance artist. I just don't know what. Please help show me the way so I can get some inspiration.

Drawing what ever you want and getting paid for it.
You get hired as an illustrator for high-end work because of your unique and valuable style. Hopefully the illustrative style you've marketed yourself with is something you enjoy doing.
From there, every project is fulfilling.
>making some advertising poster.
Especially if you're doing this, and making thousands of dollars off an illustration.

Why do you make the specific distinction of calling it "freelance digital art"? It's not like there exists a freelance traditional art industry seperate from the digital freelance art industry.
freelancing art is 40% art, 60% trying to find jobs (and then get people to pay you, which is not as easy as it should be). Expect to spend a LOT of time hunting job boards, being active on social media trying to increase your art's exposure, sending out emails that you'll never hear back about, et cetera.
unless you're already famous and can wait for jobs to find you, freelancing kind of sucks, to be quite honest. It's less of a job and more of a constant struggle to keep your head above water.
absolutely nothing it's a boring dull existence
