# She looks a bit under the weather.
I also had to make the worst-ever cover illustration for a journal (actually, there are far worse, but it was as low as I could stoop to) for a paper called 'Recurrent H-bond graph motifs between metal tris-ethylenediamine cations and uncoordinated oxalate anions: Fitting a three pin plug into a two pin socket'



cfb

I got paid for making this at work today. Seriously.

# My cubicle is crammed with them -
I've got gear from the UK and Switzerland and the other person has stuff from the US and France...

I made it deliberately crap as a) it's still not crap by journal standards and b) when my old supervisor realises it'll cost him 500 quid for a cover, he'll quietly drop the subject...

# I'm not one to comment on the quality of other peoples work, as mine sucks
but this image does successfully convey "1989 Sculpt 3D" so it has achieved it's goal :)

# Heh heh!
No 3D software used (apart from for the crystal structure and then it was only added as a layer), so quite pleased with the cheesy effect.
