Friendly Motors is a young independent non-professional digital artist currently residing in Melbourne. They involve on drawing anthropomorphic cars in such a cutesy, manga-like and cartoony manner with influences from anime and manga, cartoons, Western animation and video games. They also have acquired such a unique and remarkable art style that others won't forget, and dreams to become an illustrator, character designer and manga/comic artist one day. They are known for their franchise "CarVerse", where it involves with the lifestyle of anthropomorphic cars as well as friendships, stories, morals and metaphors.

​

Friendly Motors originally started their "CarVerse" franchise in September 2016 where it was originally just random sketches and doodles of everyday cars with faces, and is just visible to themselves until they starting expanding and improving more on their series in 2017, and officially became visible in 2019. As time passes, Friendly Motors's stylisation improves over time.

​

Born in Japan, she comes from a Filipino and Japanese descent, and was born on 12 December to a Filipino mother and a Japanese father.

​

As a young child, Friendly Motors gained the skill of creativity, such as practicing colouring in, making drawings of animals and people and was even given a toy known as the "megasketcher", where it is a portable magnetic drawing board that features a screen for the child to draw on.

​

Friendly Motors not only draws things, but they are also influenced by the TV shows that they've watched, including The Amazing World of Gumball, Pokémon, Regular Show and the Cars movie franchise. They even gained inspiration from video games such as Undertale, the Super Mario video game franchise and Kirby.

​

In September 2016, Friendly Motors drew a cartoon car with eyes for the first time in their lives. One of them was a Honda Civic, the other being a Toyota Camry. Friendly Motors continued on with drawing cars, and even made a drawing out of the Honda Fit by just copying the image from the internet. In October 2016, Friendly Motors created their very first car character that is a Volkswagen Golf, named "Golfie" and was served as the main character of CarVerse. However, in March 2017, Friendly Motors renewed it for a Ford Fiesta hatchback, and named it "Frances" as a male character. The reason Friendly Motors decided to change it from a Volkswagen to a Ford was because she figures that most films and TV series are set in the United States, rather than Australia or England.

​

In 2017, Friendly Motors created her second car character, a Toyota Prius named "Popo". Popo was originally going to be a female character, but Friendly Motors changed it to a male instead because they believe that a male shitbox would sound interesting.

​

In 2018, Friendly Motors changed Frances's design into a 2005 Ford Mustang because they found out that the kind of Ford Fiesta Frances was based on aren't sold in the US markets. So then, Friendly Motors changed it into a Mustang, but is a female because they also claim that a lot of TV shows and films mostly have a male protagonist. Friendly Motors practiced digital art using MS Paint by drawing cartoon car characters, and was uploaded onto a classroom forum for their teacher and classmates to see. Their teacher, including their classmates were highly impressed of their creativity that they were even surprised enough to be speechless. Positive comments were given out, and was regarded as the "Best Drawer Ever".

​

In August 2019, Friendly Motors joined DeviantArt and made their first post ever on the internet involving digital art and anthropomorphic cars. Friendly Motors was influenced by artists who draws anthropomorphic cars.

​

In May 2020, Friendly Motors joined Instagram for the first time, and made a post about real-life things as well as digital art. The reason Friendly Motors joined Instagram was because many mutual users have left DeviantArt, making DeviantArt a braindead place.

​

In July 2020, Friendly Motors joined Twitter of the same reason with Instagram.

​

In June 2022, Friendly Motors joined YouTube just for speedpaints, but also characters voices used with an AI-generated character text-to-speech website, 15.ai. However, not only YouTube is used for speedpaints, but it could also involve vlogs, as well as music videos out of their original songs published via Soundcloud.
