While it might seem that there are only a few different ways to utilize these skills, there are actually quite a few options that can be explored.
Creating textures is one of the first options that most people consider. By carefully designing some beautiful textures, you can make a lot of great pieces of art, as well as make some good money. This can also allow you the flexibility to explore some of your own creative options as well, and also practice some other aspects of graphics that you are interested in.
Additionally, many graphics artists in virtual worlds discover that a photography studio is another great way to get started making money, while utilizing the graphics skills that you have. Using different pieces of software, graphics techniques, and a creative eye makes it the perfect combination to create some really beautiful photographs that would not otherwise be possible.
You could also look into logo creation, and even working on branding work. These are practices that not all business owners inside of virtual worlds are skilled at handling, but still work that is very important. Knowing and understanding that you need to cover all of these aspects will allow you to open up the possibilities of how you can create money in the virtual worlds. Knowing that there are multiple methods that you can use will allow you to really open up the options that you have, which can often spark even more opportunities to use your graphics skills.
Thinking creatively can often allow you to really explore all of the different options that accessible for you to tap into. As you can image, there is a large array of options that you can explore, and learning how to really explore these options and open up your creative juices will allow you to have the greatest impact possible.
