This is a junk carrier, inspired in typical vehicles from our Peruvian urban landscape, half a basket case and half a motorcycle. They are typically used to carry al sorts of junk around the city, and in Yute and Tocuyo’s Dieselpunk Imachinarium, that’s exactly what they do. You see, the idea behind these characters is to propose a reinvention of my world and my environment, to answer the question, how would the world would be if an atomic bomb exploded in one of Peruvian main traffic streets, and a new world emerged from that rests of the previous one. Yute and Tocuyo fly around in this vehicle recollecting the metallic trash they are going to use to build they’re machines. They are hoarders of the useless, to rebuild it into something new, functional and powerful. In a way, thats also whats behind the proposal of a dieselpunk mech aesthetic.
