I know two artists who did cards for the Wizard of the Coast game of Magic. They were NOT sketches, they were full acrylic paintings. They got paid $ 200 each, but gave up all rights to the company, meaning the WotC got the pictures completely, and could do what they wanted with them.

Sketches don’t often sell unless they’re used as spot illustrations. You get far less than for full color full size page work, or cover art.
