Here's my entry - A Screaming Banshee

I used 10 free items:

V4 base by DAZ3D: http://www.daz3d.com/i/shop/itemdetails/?item=4783
Daemonessa V4 Texture, Dead Grass, Lighting & Backdrop from RDNA Shocktoberfest: http://www.runtimedna.com/forum/content.php?49-Shocktober-2010
Trumpet by Kemal at Renderosity: http://www.renderosity.com/mod/freestuff/search.php?section_id=-1&query=trumpet&sort=relevancy&use_age=no&older_age=&older_units=day&newer_age=&newer_units=day&username=&section_selector%5B0%5D=-1
Bent Tree & Monument (gravemarker) from Baumgarten Enterprises: http://www.baument.com/restore/archives.html
Galadriel dress from Andolaurina: http://www.sharecg.com/v/43806/related/Poser/Galadriel-Outfit-for-V4-Aiko4-Girl4-SheFreak4-S4?PSID=263e1d03cbc0a2b1f994a8a51f3fa260
Dress Texture from BoraKhan/Spotted ROck: http://www.sharecg.com/v/44956/browse/Poser/Witches-Night-for-Galadriel-Dress

I converted the trumpet and Baumgarten models from 3ds to obj format in Wings3D (free modeling software) in order to import them into DAZStudio3.

Postwork in Paint Shop Pro to create the transparent areas on the figure (rendered a second image without the V4 figure, then blended the two together using layers).

This is a fun contest!
