FL Studio Merchandise Artwork Contest

I've entered in the FL Studio Merchandising Artwork Contest from Image-Line. Actually they are asking for artwork to print existing products in their online store. These include t-shirts, water bottles, slippers, etc. But my entry is actually suggesting a product that does not exist in their store. The following turn-table models are modelled in Maya, rendered with Mental Ray. The text inset in the box are displacement maps.

In addition, I had to submit a 2K still for the contest. For that I had to bring the iterations in the approximation editor up to 8. That took about 33mins for a still frame.
