A free copy is considered de rigeur; no matter how little effort a contributer has put in, they should get to see their work. I did 2 monsters, 1800 words, for Creature Collection III, and they still send two hardback books halfway round the world for me. For PDFs, it's OK to just send a PDF.Then there's actual payment. Some people will be content to work for exposure. Many people, however, frown upon this as needlessly denigrative towards artists in general. At the very minimum, therefore, a percentage of sales should be considered. From what I've seen, 10% is a minimum, 33% is a maximum. This is normally split between artists, and (I believe) refers to point-of-sale pricing, just so you're aware.If you're secure in your finances, a flat payment is always welcome. B&W interiors will probably range US$15-30, depending on size and detail. Colour work will be higher; I'd charge US$50-70 for interiors and around US$100 for a cover. Sequential art (comics) is very expensive; because of the detail involved, I'd price it on a par with covers, maybe higher, and the pages really start to stack up.This is just my experience, of course. Others welcome to tell me if I'm being ripped off. Or if they are.</blockquote>
