It not easy for me to explain because i don't know how you define concept art.I know there still alot of misconception around the job title so i am just trying to clear this out if i can help because i think it important to be able to define what type of task you are good at and enjoy and want to be paid to do.
Illustration VS Concept - Why do some companies want Sketches and others want paintings?

I was just trying to understand what aspect of concept art you were interest by also.For example character, environment ,creature,props or vehicule.Because right now you are doing more illustration than design work as far as i can tell.
Also it can be hard to differentiate the personal work to what you are trying to put in the portfolio so this can be hard to determine for someone outside of you to help you find out what piece might be good to add to the porfolio.
But as far as what i heard from you there an interest for game board and sadly i don't think that there a high demand for narrative heavy illustration in this kind of game.Apart from the art box that doesn't make for a lot of work for you unless you want to jump from one project to an other that up to you.Where there more illustration that would fit what you do currently i would say would be in the ttrpg aspect for example because it more text heavy type of game there often more illustration to be made in by comparaison of the two thing area of game you have mention interest for.
I explained before that there category of subject but you shown so far that you do illustration because you mix the different category and you don't do design(you do but not in a designer pipeline way) That mean you aren't doing turn around and present the subject isolated from the context.This mean you didn't yet made it clear that you design with the intent of the subject to be modelize by a 3d modeler which to me indicate you aren't a concept artist but an illustrator.
You can take a look at my http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/thread-3737.html(i suggest to check more toward the end of my sketchbook at the start i was still very much confuse for a very longtime you might get a glimpse of what concept artist do.I will admit that sometime i have fallen in the trap of getting confuse with concept art and illustration so it might not be extra clear but i hope that i will provide you with a better idea.I am trying to help you not make the same mistake.
