An ocean and sky from Surreal Software's The Suffering. I did not do the character you see here.

This environment is best viewed in motion. Click the image or one of the below links for video.

The ocean is built out of a few different pieces. One piece has multi-layered ripples coming in at slightly varied rates. The other piece has the breakers hitting the beach, then sliding back into the water. The breakers piece uses animating multi-layered textures, and also has vertex alpha along its edges that allows the breakers to blend with the ocean water, and to  fade into the shore. 

The sky is similarly built with multiple pieces, each with its own multiple layers of sometimes animating textures.
