Isn't it odd how sometimes one thing will unexpectantly lead to another?
Example, a simple moss-like texture that works well as an underwater
boulder.  I had decided not to enter this round of the IRTC but now I'm
starting to get some ideas...

Texture and water atmosphere look good, I also like the bubbles.  
The shape of the boulder could have some more irregularity IMO.

Try making the boulder with blobs to make the shape look a little irregular.

That's were I was going.  Actually, I forgot to mention that the spheres
were just dummy objects, but as to the shape...I'll do even better then
blobs;)  I'll post by results soon.

This does look good, the bubbles are a bit strange, it might be to do
with the ior that's set in them.  

Don't forget to leave room for the space ship :-/

Just to refresh my memory, why would I be needing a spaceship?

Or did  I miss something;)

Leave those babies sphere shaped and you've got the Moeraki boulders,
geological curiosities from New Zealand. <see picture attached>

<encyclopedia thievery starts here>
Neither igneous nor sedimentary, they consist mainly of carbonate of lime,
silica, alumina and peroxide of iron. Formed around a central core of lime
crystals which appear to have the power of attracting and consolidating the
above ingredients from the adjacent soil. The shape of the boulders is not
due to the action of the sea.

Quite often you'll see an image of a space ship in the IRTC, doesn't matter
what the subject is, someone has done a space ship and thinks it fits the 
topic.  The last round Wilderness, an image called tmwilder.jpg (storm
troopers on a rocky planet), also the image usswild.jpg.  Only two, that 
round was quite good compared to what's usual.  

Nothing against space ship images, and we've seen some amazing examples
here recently.
