Exterminator's Kit

My submission into the Hum3D Weapons Challenge. The task for the challenge was to create a still image of a weapon with a fully 3D background and to come up with an interesting story to accompany it.
I decided to create a kit that would be used by an orcish exterminator in a modern world inhabited with dangerous magical beasts. Exterminators in this world would not be faced with ants and other small pests but trolls, giant spiders and wargs and therefore I decided to take reference from the largest and most impractical sporting rifle ever made, SSK Industries' 950. caliber rifle, a weapon so big it required a special exemption to not be considered a destructive device.

My final submission for the competition

An alternative composition with just the weapons

I enjoyed coming up with brand name versions of staple fantasy items such as enchanted weapons and potions

The gun by itself

The enchanted melee weapons

The potions looking very intimidating

Each potion has a unique dosage instructions, ingredients list, nutritional and magical facts as well as some legal disclaimers

Originally the bullet was going to have an enchantment rune on the top and I made it a little more squat than the reference to facilitate this. However, I thought the emissive maps were already starting to get gaudy so I cut that idea.
