1.) You need a degree.
2.) A lot of companies require a teaching certificate in addition to that. (This excludes other qualifications like JLPT.)
3.) You need to get through with your VISA. I think they only accept mostly engineers and entertainers nowadays.
4.) Be prepared to live off of 30-38k USD/Year salary due to market saturation. Chances are you will also not be able to pick where you will be stationed (Since everyone and their mom wants to be in Tokyo and Kyoto).

~33k to ~45k converted to USD a year for fulltime teacher.

The good western artists are in forums like conceptart.org and would rather not have anything to do with the likes of 4chan and its weeaboos.

You must have no idea how scarce translation jobs are that aren't case by case ones or freelance ones. The ones you might be talking about are the ones that also need indepth knowledge in something technical like manual translation with software or hardware merchandise, which the company may need background experience in.

Destruction of NOVA left some near 2000 (Well, probably closer to 1500) english teachers unemployed and looking for jobs, so yes, the market for that is pretty saturated and many of them HAVE attempted to look for jobs other than teaching like translation and tutoring. Some of them have also reported to have gone home in their blogs.

I'd pick South Korea if I were you if you have a grasp of that knowledge and really do have a passion for teaching. The pay there is also higher than Taiwan's. A ton of JETfags I've met before that went to Japan were just freshly-graduated college kids that were in it as a temporary gig or were your typical hardcore otaku.
