Hey, great beast sketches!
The first one is not boring! It's a bit safe, but has strong character poses as a base. Now, it's all about what happens in the background, foreground + the effects and light. Put on some values - it still can be just what you're looking for!
About freelance stuff - I understand you, as I took my leap this year and the one most important thing I learned from it is: networking. I got most of my jobs offers through people I knew, even if by sheer luck. So nowadays try to overcome my shyness and make more friends in art world. I still struggle a lot, but my life goals are what keeps me going. Remember yours and that will make hard situations a bit easier. :)
If I can advise you anything - don't take any rejection personally, even if the client doesn't like what you do. It sometimes is not even about your level, but small details, like the way you present it or what you write in your email, or something else you have no influence on. Keep on going, doing what you love and there's no way you won't succeed. :)
