I'm in a bit of a financial pickle. Normally I sell pony character designs to pay the bills, but nothing I've posted this past week or so has sold, bills are coming up, and I'm approaching a wee bit of a panic. Ponies aren't paying the bills, so time to try dragons! Don't put all your eggs in one basket, folks.
PWYW, any amount helps, seriously. Here's some examples of art I've done in the past, these examples are all at least a couple years old so my style may have changed, but should be technically better.

I love your art! I'm gonna be upfront and let you know that I'm also in a financial bind myself, so I don't have more than $20; but I know how the struggle is and I want to support my fellow people, even with pennies. ;-;
I wouldn't feel right about asking you to put a time sink; as a bit of an artist myself I know art takes time, and $20 isn't much compensation. But I'd happily donate to your cause.

Erax That is really sweet, but you don't have to worry about that not being enough!
When I decided to do PWYW commissions, I honestly only expected to get paid $3-$5 per drawing, but everyone has been super generous so far (I got a few orders through a FR Facebook group). I'd be happy to even work for $10 or $15, everything helps.
Right now I'm working on a commission for someone who paid $25, and I'm super happy with how its turning out. I really don't mind doing a commission for $20 or less, so if you're interested, here's my PayPal -
paypal.me/sararini and let me know which dragon you'd like drawn, I could at least do a sketch for you :D

Bumping because I have a more current example of my art now!

@sararini
Sorry I've been away from FR mostly for a couple days. While I've been out, I've been pondering my drago for a sketch. <3 But seeing how you do glitters seals the deal for me.
Here's the guy I'd like. I picture him as the archetype of 'ice' as an element. His personality is supposed to be cold and calculating. The dark kind of ice: abyssal, mysterious and cruel... that's sort of his flavor. I don't expect anything too rigid, just wanted to give you a run-down of his brooding persona.
Only thing I desire art-wise is a dusting of that beautiful icy glitter somewhere atop his abyssal flavor. <3
Below is him in the skin I want to buy for him:

And this is him currently:

Eventually he will be given the Cracked Crystal familiar, named Sanity. (I don't expect the familiar to be drawn, just tossing that out as superfluous but fun info).
Happy to see however he comes out, and I hope you have fun with 'im!

@
Erax That's okay, no worries!
I looooove drawing glitter. I love adding glitter to everything lmao. I joke that I grew up as a frumpy tomboy and now I draw sparkly ponies for a living, ha.
He is super cool, no pun intended. I've already started on it, so I hope to have it done by tomorrow night. :> I'm gonna enjoy coloring him and adding all that sparkle.

Hello again @sararini!
I'm not sure if you're still doing this. I have an updated version of Draugur with the Toxin gene, if you are willing to create a new piece for him. If not, no worries. I would completely understand, Toxin looks difficult to draw and may be hard on some people's eyes. If you decide you want to, could I ask that his bird be added in? Once again, you are free to decline parts or all of this if you want.

Erax hello! I just wanted to ping you two and let you know that I haven't forgotten about y'all's commissions, sorry about the wait - I really appreciate your patience.
I've recently set up a trello page where you guys can check in on my art queue and once I start your commission, you'll be able to track how close it is to being complete. I've got an art trade that should be done tonight, and then I'll be starting on OrangeGoblin's :> or if either of you would prefer refunds at this point, let me know and I can try to arrange it.
