Yes indeed, "financial freedom" is what allows you to switch from 'what you have to do' to 'what you want to do'. It is a rare, very lucky person for whom those two pursuits align without financial freedom.
I think your dream might be achievable, albeit at extreme risk - far beyond what I personally would be comfortable with. And, probably not with games like SE. Their market appeal is too narrow and there simply isn't a lot of money there to support artists. You'd need to somehow tap into games with a broad market base where revenue streams are much larger and artists are hired as part of the team.
I hired a young college student from Rochester Institute of Technology for an intern position a few years back. His major happened to 'gaming' software, although that's not what I hired him for. He talked about the gaming major as having three principle sub-paths - software engineering, the technical aspects of designing, developing and writing the software - story writers, the effort to create a backdrop plot and story line - and, artists, the creating of all the graphics art and 2d/3d rendering.
So, there is a place for that.
