Cower - Waterscape

Finally, a new update. I've been so swamped with this animation, but I'm super excited about it (if you haven't noticed). It was really nice to take a break and do some Cower work, finally. I have a bunch of ideas swimming around in my head, waiting to get onto the page (or into a .psd, as it were). This is just a quick sketch of the invasion/home planet environment. I don't know where the water came from, it was going to be dry and dusty! I'll do a concept of what the planet looked like pre-invasion and/or get rid of the water thing entirely and redo the invasion, as well. That's the point of concept art, right? Next up is of the containment units, though.
Conceptual thoughts below. Use or doing use at your discretion, Writer! These are just rambling ideas of the Artist while they were at work.

And then came the rain. It came with them, with their terrifying flock of ships. It stayed long after they had taken all the other cows, young, and a handful of bulls. We had never seen so much water in one place before. None of us knew how to swim. They left the bulls and the elderly and the ill there to die. Our ships couldn't take all the water, they were used to the perfect, dry, dusty world we were all accustomed to, that none of us would ever know again. Could we ever fix this?

 The Salt Plains have turned treacherous -- there doesn't seem to be flooding there, but there are many pits of quicksand, almost indistinguishable from solid ground. Many of the ones who weren't lost initially have since drowned in the Pits. Such awful deaths. Such awful cries. We have to make it beyond the Salts, though. There are ships there that still might be able to fly, rocky land there that they still might be able to take off from. We have to keep trying. They brought the rain.
