For my Wild Western project, I wanted to make a fairly standard iconic sandy Western environment. Initially I wanted a full town as the setting for my project such as the one below.

However, instead I thought that maybe having the two fight near a water source could be better, as changing the antagonist to a cactus means that fighting over water makes a lot more sense than in a town.

This kind of environment works well for me, as I can create a fairly stylised well/water source with the cactus nearby, have the cowboy go to get water, and then have the cactus attack him, possibly afterwards revealing the motive as being that the cactus wants the water all for itself.
