if you want to donate art to a project or charity or something, or give someone gift art, that's one thing
(edit: i wouldn't even offer 'free' work to charities; you can offer it pro-bono, which would let you write off what the work was worth as a donation on your taxes.)
but never ever believe someone who approaches you with the promise that you'll get paid in profits/royalties/work down the pipe/etc

echoing everyone else, yeah, quit immediately. you owe these people nothing.
as for this prospect- "I would consider that it's work for hire, and I retain full copyright of the work and have the right to use it anywhere I want without giving credit to you. And you can't use the work as your portfolio and to show it elsewhere. If you agree to the term, and are able to do (3), then I would consider giving you a continuous work per month, where you will draw certain amount of images for me."
not unless they were offering a hell of a lot since you're essentially selling the right to an image along with your services (drawing or whatever). not the same thing, and the price depends heavily on what kind of money the person is making off the property. if they're going to be assholes like that about it, probably not all that much, because no professional worth working for would have such inane demands.
i'm trying to think of what kind of project would require artists not being credited AT ALL. video games have credits. trading card art usually has artist credits. book illustrations usually have credits or at least allow an artist's signature in the corner or something. idk why it'd be so important to obfuscate who did art for a project.
