This is very hard to estimate. Usually songwriters will charge a percentage of the record sales of their songs. They are also paid for downloads, advertisements, video views, etc.
Most of the classical composers were commissioned by royal families. Composers were paid for writing pieces of music for them. Beethoven's closest patron was Archduke Rudolph.
Composers were not well paid at the best of times, but Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart certainly died penniless.

If you publish it or sell the copyrights, you will recieve money. If you're drawing art, the author may (or may not) pay you for your services. Don't expect your series to make a ton of money; it won't (at first). Just do the best you can and find a good publisher that's willing to risk it!
