Anatomical Visualization #3

Using this journal article from Anatomincal Sciences International:

The assignment was to illustrate the anomalous left hepatic vein originating from the left lobe of the liver and opening into the right atrium as described in the journal article provided.

Use an upper-left light as the main light source.

And here is my take on this interesting anomaly:
