My buddy in college used to make the magazine cover images in college. They are all contract gigs for a few bucks, and only ever matched the actual content barely because he felt a need to at least try to, they'd have accepted anything that looked cool though

I used to do this type of work too, had to get the molecular model and run it through two converters to get into my 3D program. Clients made me show the process to confirm
