Under standard royalties, an author gets roughly 20 to 30% of the publisher's revenue for a hardcover, 15% for a trade paperback, and 25% for an eBook. So, very roughly, every hardcover release that earns out brings the author something like 25% of all revenue earned by the publisher.

If you're the author and illustrator, you'll get to keep the full royalty rate, which would be similar to above: around 10% with possible benchmarks that will raise it to around 15%. If you're only the illustrator, the royalties will be split equally between you and the author.
So you'd quickly be found out and an author/illustrator who feels cheated by their publisher isn't a happy author. It's worth saying, of course, that, agents take a percentage (10% 15% of the author/illustrators earnings from publishers as a rough rule).
