New Short Animation

So I'm working on a new short animation, applying what I recently had an epiphany about last week. I've completely written the story already and am about to move into storyboards. To give you a feel for what the animation will be about I'll post the first paragraph of the story as well as a bit of concept art I had completed today. Enjoy!

The dead squirrel laid by the side of the road, flattened except for his tail, which pointed straight up, then left, and then back up again. As the cars passed by the squirrel’s soul rose from his dead body, slowly lifting up. His soul mirrored that of his body, flattened except for his crooked wiry tail. Moving from the side of the road into the trees, he marched slowly to some unknown destination. In the woods a bird, completely spherical, bloated by the sun and head of the day joined him. Next came a deer, who would have seemed perfectly healthy if his head wasn’t twisted completely around to face his rear. The last to join this mutilated soul parade, marching through the woods in the middle of the night was an orange tabby cat whose two halves of a body were being held together only by his intestines. They marched on in a single file line under the full moon, passing by a pond that gave no reflection of the souls of the flattened squirrel, the bloated bird, the twisted deer, or the two halves of cat.
