I've been using Google Image all morning, but not finding exactly what I need.
They have started the cover art for the Baen version of Monster Hunter International. The artist wants to keep the guns as realistic as possible. (considering my audience, that's a really good idea). For those of you that read my book, they're using a scene from the freighter.
So I'm looking for some very specific gun pictures so that the artist can get them correct. I don't give my characters the exact same guns I actually own, because otherwise this would be easy.
I've found some that are close, but not quite right. I'm also looking for photos at different angles. I'm not sure how the artist is going to structure it. I also don't even know if I can say who the artist is, because I'm new at this whole being an actual writer kind of thing. He's really good though, and if you read fantasy or sci-fi, you've seen his work. I'm pretty excited.
I'm looking for links for:
-Remington 870, 18", 2 shot extension, side saddle, butt cuff, XS sights, ghost ring rear, Surefire flashlight. (main character's gun, so it got real specific)
-M14 with a Trijicon ACOG. (luckily never specified what kind of stock it had, or barrel length)
There are also suppressed UMPs, a Tommy Gun, and a Marlin 45-70. Luckily those were never given specific details, so probably won't really come up)
