I want some insight from those who do commissions, sorry in advance if this isn't the right place but not sure where else to ask.

I've been "into yaoi" for quite some time, have fawned over bishounen, and have wanted to make a career out of making yaoi illustrations, manga, and/or games/animations. Nothing crazy, but if I can make enough to move out of my family's house and get life my going, that'd be great.

Realistically, if my skills are decent, what are the chances of this?

I would have to start from scratch again so I don't have examples that I can show.
