that's inappropriately low pay for what you're asking for. here's some info on why 
average pay rates for comic book artists:"Generally, the good graphic novels fetch $100 - $300 per page, although professionals who have been in the industry for a long time can command as much as three times that amount. In fact, one elite illustrator commanded as much as $1,000 a page (on a 22-page comic book)!

I may not be a big name (yet), but it doesn’t mean I’m going to sell myself short.
The result of all these queries though has been a closer look into what I should be charging. I don’t want to charge for more than my name is worth (is stress the word ‘name’) and take advantage, but on what planet am I going to charge a measly $25 (£15.44) per

I think it would be best to give more details if possible. Tell them a little more about the project and what to expect. I saw that you were also looking for character sheets, so people are curious and a little wary.
