I think let things be however they are, however it makes you happy. Unless your well being and food and housing rely on it, if you're just doing art for art's sake, let it be something you enjoy. Not something you're doing to please others.
Offer commissions, art trades, but don't worry if not everyone is trying to trade all at once. You want your art to go to someone who appreciates the media anyhow. You should not be trying to cater your art towards a group that already dislikes the media you work with right off the top. They would not fully understand nor appreciate the amount of time, effort, or skill you've put into the project.
If you are hired to do something, make sure you understand and can complete what your employer asks. However, if it's just casual for your own free time, do what you want.
You know what it's called when you're doing things you dislike without compensation of any sort and taking verbal abuse for it, while helping your abusers? Servitude.
