Maryoku Yummy

This show appearing on The Hub  

is Maryoku Yummy, animated by OddBot. This has turned into a 
very cute show for pre-school aged children. Before Maryoku evolved 
into what it istoday, I did some really early visual development of 
environments like Nozomu and the Wish Mill. It was a while ago, but 
these were a lot of fun to work on... Above is a sketch of Nozomu,
a magical place where Wishes and their Wish Sitters live. 

 The idea for this image is that under ground roots trap drops 
of water (center). The Yummy live in these mushroom houses, 
which  defy gravity and crawl around on the underground roots 
like snails.

A very early concept of the Wish Mill... wishes would

drop down through roots in the ground and float

through a system of water ways to Nozomu.

Another Wish Mill Concept... Wishes drop down through roots 

in the ground into another series of tubes, then enter the "mill."

The area below is where the wishes would be nurtured.

... and yet another Wish Mill concept.

This concept of the Wish Mill includes an early concept of Tapotapo/

mill. He's sort of controlling the whole process and all the wishes
go through him.

Another Tapotapo/Wish Mill concept.
