Who owns the copyright for a public artwork? The artist retains all rights under the Copyright Act of 1976 (17 USC Section 101) as the sole author of the work for the duration of the copyright. The duration of copyright in the United States is currently the life of the author, plus 70 years.
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.
Hourly rates for illustrators range from $25 to $100, and can be higher depending on the area of specialty and artist reputation. Nationwide, the average costs for an illustration project can range from $90 to $465, but larger projects will command higher rates, and every project is different.

In self-publishing, the author usually pays a flat fee for the illustrator's services, rather than ongoing royalties. When the project is complete and payment has been made in full, the contract specifies that the copyright for the images is transferred to the author to publish, market, and sell their book.
If you're the author or author/illustrator, you'll get the full royalty rate. This is typically 10% but could be lower or higher depending on the publisher and negotiations. There may even be a step clause in the contract where the royalty amount gets higher when you hit certain benchmarks.
The short answer is the copyrights are yours! Unless one of three things happen: you work as an employee and illustration is part of your job. your illustration contract contains a work-for-hire clause.
