ever since dream bbq got announced a few years ago, I've always been drawn to taski maiden - not only because she's silly, but also because her design is deeply fascinating to me, as it's rich in history. I haven't seen any posts discussing it yet, so I thought I'd make one!
the thing about taski maiden is that her design is very rooted in mesoamerican art. her appearance is heavily based on the textiles made by the chimú, who inhabited the coasts of what is now perú and were one of the most prolific empires of pre-columbus america - check these out!
if you look at the second image specifically - which shows chimú warriors - you can see how closely the top left figure matches taski!
in fact, all of her forms share the same colour scheme present in most chimú textiles: red, yellow, white, and black.
the little guys she's carrying are based on it, too! their face is a perfect match to the creatures the warriors are holding.
speaking of the little guys, the cloth taski is carrying them in is actually an aguayo! its a rectangular cloth used by various south american cultures to carry items and small children in.
final fun fact: taski is a quechua word that roughly translates to young woman or virgin.
and that's about it! as a south american person myself, I just think it's amazing to get a design that draws from our historical art and culture. just makes me love this series even more :]
