you could try soliciting directly, the r/hungryartists subreddit helped me get started. i'm not sure theres a good way to go about getting commissions to come to you outside of going viral or being hosted at a gallery something of that nature. would be helpful to post a link to your work here too as its hard to comment without that information
ill also just say that commission work is pretty incornsistent even after you get started and customers can make it pretty miserable on occassion
