Black lake

My environment idea is making the lake that the grabmobiles explore. The lake is sort of a God for the creatures living around it, kind of like the Mathmos in Barbarella. In the movie the Mathmos is a lake underneath the city. The lake is pure energy in liquid form.

The Black lake is powerful and must be nursed to keep it happy. The submarines explore the lake to make sure there's nothing wrong. Most of the lake is underground and it looks black due to lack of light. The submarines are also black so they wouldn't disturb the lake.

I'm making the entrance to the lake. The lake is in the middle of a desert in some kind of a strange canyon.

Deserts have some beautiful and very distinctive colours and light. It's all blue and orange.

This one sort of explains my texture idea for the submarine:
