Good idea. We all need time when we can simply relax and chill.
Happy New Year to you, too!

Congratulations! When you're finished you should have a better time searching for a better job. You might also be able to apply some of what you learn to broadening out your art.

The Moon's orbit moves above and below the equator all the time. A full Metonic takes 235 lunar revolutions around the Earth or 19 years. It's not unusual to see the Moon during the afternoon when it is waxing gibbous or early morning when it is waning gibbous. Both times it is opposite the sun in the sky. Obviously, it's something you'll see more often in the summer, but winter sightings happen in the middle latitudes.
I hope the sky was clear enough for you.

I don't really know the current photography market, so I'm not sure what advice I could give or how useful it might be.
I have read that the proliferation of stock photographs have made things much tougher. Instead of commissioning photographers to create original images for many purposes, businesses just reuse stuff available online. Even if they have to pay a fee, it's less than hiring someone for new work. This is supposedly true in advertising as well as the vanishing journalism business. You've already pointed out how many people think that they can do a photographer's job with their phone and photo editing software.
I wish I had something constructive to offer. It's rough on the creatives these days. Niche work supposedly offers a better shot at things, provided you can build a reputation. Same with local work. You seem to have had some success with submitting things on the local and state level. Maybe that will lead to something.
From what I've seen of your work, you definitely have a talent for image composition.

What type of brand do you want to emphasize? Your digital art is more cheesecake and your photographs are landscape and still. The two are very different, obviously. Also, which do you want to do more of in the future? Based on your comments, you appear to have a greater interest in professional photography. I'd say to go with that for your Patreon with some mixed media - like the eagles - that can overlap.
An alternative is simply to see which generates greater interest and go with that. Or to see if you can refine a melding of the two. I.e. start with your photography and then use that as a backdrop for your digital art. You could probably work the latter into a photography-heavy portfolio.
