No, seriously. The gun is separate. The artist works from pictures of my models, but has to interpret what I send him to make super action poses like this.
When I commission the covers I have my 'Publisher' hat on. As a publisher I give my artists free reign to be creative, because I know that this makes a job fun, and when artists are having fun they do their best work.
I therefore resist my urge as an author to micromanage the cover. But, I will be mindful when approving the third cover that there is no doubt.

ReplyDeleteVery nice art. Is the gun on the right arm built into the limb?
ReplyDeleteNo. It's just the angle.
DeleteNo, seriously. The gun is separate. The artist works from pictures of my models, but has to interpret what I send him to make super action poses like this.
Thanks for the clarification. It'd be fine either way but I was just curious as I didn't see an obvious.
DeleteIndicator. Sorry about the double post but my last word disappeared after submitting the comment.
DeleteNo problemo.
