Hydra In The Courtyard — Description
How did the hydra even get in there in the first place?

3d scene rendered in DAZ Studio, postwork in Photoshop. This is sun lighting (no HDRI dome) with the SickleYield sky system backdrop for subtle clouds. Used older G3F figure instead of current G8F, from this camera distance and angle I figured it wouldn't make much difference. Hydra posing is a bit tedious but on the plus side there's tons of flexibility and fine-grained control.

It's really hard for me to get splashing water to a point where I'm happy in DAZ Studio... I spent quite a while tweaking props from SickleYield splash packs until I was satisfied. Note there's no post-work on the water in Photoshop at all, this water is 100% rendered.

Finally got a chance to use the jacktomalin Platea Pergo iray update, I've wanted to use that environment for a while.
