Well, if they want "Full-rights" in perpetuity, than you are looking at the top end of the scale. x5 Minimum.

And if they want the Copyright ownership , go higher.

The client is asking for “full rights” and I’m pretty sure this includes the original artwork. I, in general, do not do “work Fro Hire” work but if the client wants everything and is willing to pay for it...

According to the GAG handbook: A "buyout" is slang for an All-rights transfer contract. An All-rights contract is not the same as a Work-for-hire contract. Under an All-rights Contract the Artist is selling all reproduction rights, often in perpetuity, but retains the original art and can sell it as an "art" original, and retains authorship (copyright is not transferred). You can also sign an All-rights contract that has a time limitation. So you would have the right to terminate the contract after the set time period.
