The PA host for this Challenge is Marcelo Teixeira, otherwise known in the Daz marketplace as GKDantas.
Marcelo is a 3d artist and videographer from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Early in his life, Marcelo wanted to shoot movies and create his own worlds. However, he couldn't afford the essential camera equipment, so he shifted his attention to 3D. Starting with an Amiga 500, he was soon exploring programs such as Imagine 3D and Real 3d.
Eventually Marcelo moved to PC. He got fairly proficient on Lightwave, but he had to learn it on someone else's computer (Lightwave was not affordable, about $3000 at that time). So he tried Blender and eventually entered the Daz world through the discovery of Hexagon. At the same time he noticed that Daz had acquired something called "Carrara." Making inquiries, he encountered Ringo Monfort, who gave him encouragement, and introduced him to the Daz3D family. It was the type of support he had always wanted, but had not found in other 3D communities. With Carrara, he thrived, and soon became a Daz Professional Artist.
His Carrara products are varied. Among them are GI domes (HDRI backgrounds), V4 toon shaders, V4/M4 ultimate skin shaders, scratch brushes for NPR and paint, SSS presets, and realistic leaves for Carrara trees. He also designed an urban scene for Carrara called "The Corner in the Box," for setting up quick renders with your favorite characters.
From the very beginning, Marcelo had a desire to help others. Even from his Amiga days, he reached out to other aspiring 3D artists in the Brazilian community, and helped them for free.

WIP: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/4096596/#Comment_4096596
Song/Poem: Ghost Riders in the Sky/Apocalypse Now
Additional Notes: The terrain was made in Carrara using a map from JSplacement. Lights are standard Carrara, with no GI or HDRI. Functions include Carrara fire, Carrara clouds, and Carrara text (sig), and GMIC plugin for some contrast.
The models are Steam Dragon, Michael 4, and some Steam Cowboy accessories. And the freebie is, of course, the A-bomb from Mark Bremmer, which is both stunning and incredibly educational to open up and study how he did it.
No postwork.

“Moonlight”
WIP: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/4126321/#Comment_4126321
The moon rises like a crimson eye
Soaring over a light cloud.
In a lonely way, it streams its magnetic light
Through black branches.
Wormwood air breathes with mistery
Painting magical dreams;
And sleepy spirit hears involuntarily
The moon's call that captivated it.
Goddess of the late midnight,
You reign all alone in the cold mist.
What is the power that has been given to you
Over the children of subtle nature?

Nameless dream
I dreamed that someone
climbed the window
Trying to get in;
Burning eyes and hissing mouth -
he is not human, not real indeed ...
And bloodied hand
pulled into broken glass ...
But I really did not have time
to get scared by this man,
As unknown power
pulled him back...
Another scene, someone's house,
Alien, faceless and glamorous...
Some boy was my husband...
Totally unsuitable for me:
He was divinely beautiful;
Dancer soaring over the precipice;
He stretched his gaze above all living,
Glowing mysteriously,
Bringing joy to the motive.
In the empty courtyard we said goodbye
The moment had come;
he named the place where we met,
And where could meet once again;
But I forgot about him ...
No sadness, no regrets.
In the wet pitch dark
I was getting out of the well;
Dreaming of seeing the sun again;
Grabbing protrusions but the wrong ones...
Sudden air flow caressed my face
And my feet touched the soil
with the smell of sage,
tenderly rustling.
I ran, I kept running ...
And the forest dropped
both rain and snow
by the collar...
Everything disappeared ...
In the spacious hall by the window,
I quietly hid behind the curtain,
I could see it well through the shabby cloth:
Damascus torn wallpaper
dangling in the corner;
The fireplace flickered with crazy fire,
Cold blue fractals
were going over the floor...
Some shadow separated from the wall:
Man in black -
woven from the air;
His silhouette
was not reflected in the glass;
The edge of his satin cloak slid
along the blue flame tongues...
Suddenly he appeared at the window
Literally a step away from me...
Mindlessly and spellbound,
I was waiting for the plot development;
But the dream was not to be completed -
It was interrupted by a low trill
of the usual morning call.

USED: Evil's amazing Dell Morning Mist - thanks for the kindness Kevin. from http://www.sharecg.com/evilproducer.
NOTES: used negative lights to control the illumination, used VWD to drap the Monkish robes. Used Digital Carvers shader light thingy to add a texture to the lights, used cone and other effects on the lamp light.
Highly recommend Evil's work - lots of nooks and crannys to explore
Great topic Wendy. Well done!!
Don't Pay The Ferryman
It was late at night on the open road,
Speeding like a man on the run,
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey;
He is closer now and the search is on,
Reading from a map in the mind,
Yes there's the ragged hill,
And there's the boat on the river.
And when the rain came down,
He heard a wild dog howl,
There were voices in the night, "Don't do it!"
Voices out of sight, "Don't do it!
Too many men have failed before,
Whatever you do,
Don't pay the ferryman,
Don't even fix a price,
Don't pay the ferryman,
Until he gets you to the other side"
In the rolling mist, then he gets on board,
Now there'll be no turning back,
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder,
And then the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared,
And people calling out his name,
And dancing bones that jabbered and a-moaned
On the water.
And then the ferryman said,
"There is trouble ahead,
So you must pay me now, " "Don't do it!"
"You must pay me now, " "Don't do it!"
And still that voice came from beyond,
"Whatever you do,
Don't pay the ferryman,
Don't even fix a price,
Don't pay the ferryman,
Until he gets you to the other side;
Written by Chris de Burgh

I tried for some degree of realism, and used a mixture of HDRI, GI, and distant lights with soft shadows. Highest settings, so it took a couple of hours. :)

Erospawn (Love-Hungry Demon)
Among us they walk
The human form they take and in human tongues they talk
But beastly in nature are they
Who sleeplessly hunt through night and day
With an unseen bow is Cupid's arrow sprung
Upon men and women, old and young
And the smitten fall prey to their gluttonous delight
The body left whole in the candlelight
Robbed of that which we so cherish
For by the loving heart alone do thwy nourish
