I aimed for subtle otherness,
used:
-cloud fractal as water volume density
-that distorted voronoi thing I came up with about a hundred years ago for the stromatolithes
-A jupiter map that does not show at all
-a population each, same seed, of distorted spheres and Wallis ferns for the jellyfish things
-Daniil Kamperovs erosion, free version
Gigapix AI for a 2x upscale

Here is the pure TG version

Based on that:

using the same fractal for big displacement ans as input for the distorted voronoi fine displacement proved interesting.

Really cool! I love those unusual images.

When I see unusual formations like that it makes me think there's something alive under them.

Love your water ! Cool formations on the shore !

Thanks!
yes, the formations are supposed to be some kind of reef or stromatolithe.
The hard part is to combine the crazy shapes with high realism, still working on that.
