Humans Can Drive Stick

Hi, I'm Dio/Diz. https://youtu.be/U5hS_V6V31Q?t=2941 I'm not really human, but I play one on Tumblr. Until then, make yourself comfortable and watch out for the mascot heads. I collect them. IF YOU ASK ABOUT COMMISSIONS IN COMMENTS, YOU WILL BE BLOCKED. I'm tired of that shit.

Happy Year of the Horse! Been doing Zodiac girls since 2020 when I jumped back onto relearning watercolor. Interesting how the style changed slightly as I went along. This year, I added details with acrylic marker.

Happy New Year (it's only 4 pm atm XD) from my lemon pig.

Advent Calendar 2025 day 24: Colors of You

Took a couple days to finish, but I'm pretty happy with this one this year. The hardest part was making 2 parallelograms, lining them up, and equally slicing them into 13 even slices. Don't ask how I did it other than it look like an hour @_@

Everyone is shown with their image colors (or close to them with some concessions since a few share them with each other). I limited the representatives to 26 this year, which is way less than the over 30 from a previous years, and some things got a lil shuffled (they're mostly in chronological creation order except for Lucy, Tuck and Kawaii in the last row). Ashton was left off, so Bass and Treble could both get their own slices, and Shizu from a very underdeveloped series was also left off (she only was on last year's), and Djura also sat this one out so Hideki could rep (sorry not sorry XD). Also I changed Lucy's dress to green...that might be a permanent change now XD.

Top row, left to right: Vicci (Vicci & Kymi), Rya (Neo Black 9), Aro (Pot Sticker), Clio (Psychic Cafe), Loki (Ragnatropolis), Arthur (Pantheon Chronicles), Mei (Creepy and Crawly), Lunis (Dreaming, Dreaming, Dreaming), Rhys (Boulevard of Distance), Melody (Ever.Free), Mordecai (Misfit Demon Manor), Hawkins (MapGunners), Chronexci (Captured Time).

Bottom row, left to right: Treble (E.Q), Bass (E.Q.), California (States in Our Union), Beowulf (Our Ladies of War), Marimo (Splatoon oc), Niro (Threads of Yuugen), Hideki (Threads of Yuugen Genesis), Hana (Welcome to Cafe BlackMoon Star), Dorothy and Tin Drone (Doro & Taro), Doc (We Once Had Names), Lucy the Winterdeer, Tuck the Bunny, Kawaii-chan (Just Another Mahou Shojo, mascot).

Now I sleep.

Advent Calendar day 24 2007-2024

The mythical All-character. I try to add one representative of every individual series I've made through the years (since childhood). 30+ series (some are spin-offs), and a few have 2 reps. After 2022, I hit a critical mass and pared it back severely, but even now, I still have to find a way to get about 26 characters onto one page (that's counting newcomer Doc this year). Also, I still never finished making the little ornament Milagros for 2016, so I need to finish those later; that's why I have sketches and cut outs for that day. Also 2017 I included a photo cuz the foil wasn't showing up.

This year's won't be up til after the holiday, but please look forward to it!

Advent Calendar 2025 day 23: Christmas Gavadon

As per the usual December Dinosaur Dracula funpack drawing challenge, I drew Gavadon with a cute star and a patterned scarf. Because gavadon is friend shaped, and adorable and created by Showa era children, which means it was cute and highly dangerous for no reason. God I love Showa era tokusatsu.

I put Sorato from Ultraman Omega in because it's the current season and my favorite Ultra hosts/human forms are the ones who eat and are constantly hungry (like Orb XD). I should do another Ultra eating food drawing challenge one day (I did Orbtober wayyyy back in 2020, I should post them somewhere other than instagram.

Anyhow, I won't have the all-character done before the 24th, so expect this years to be up after Christmas. I should have the previous years up though.

Advent Calendar day/box 23 2007-2024

Day 23 has 2 distinct eras (with a small lil interlude for a few years between them XD). Back in 2007, my favorite (now defunct) website X-Entertainment ran a sort of ARG with a Playmobile advent calendar. It had a giant over-arching story of action, mystery, romance, conspiracy, Lego stormtroopers, playmobile rabbits and other characters, James Lipton, and a giant eldritch bunny god. Yeah that was a PACKED December that year. This was a yearly thing for a few years and ended around 2011 when the site started to come to the end of its lifespan; X-E was in my Internet life for most of my formative years in the early 2000s and VERY late 1990s. The Box 23 storylines were just wild and I was so glad to have experienced them first hand. You seriously had to be there.

When X-E closed for good, a successor site by the original webmaster Matt called Dinosaur Dracula took over. Same subject matter of neat pop culture things Matt and the rest of us grew up on. From about 2012 to maybe 2016, I still dedicated the 23rd to things for DinoDrac, like the titular mascot himself on a motor bike, channeling Napoleon, or drawing things from newsletters that I got from the Dinosaur Dracula funpack, a box of neato toys, trinkets and even snacks that comes monthly--this helps fund the website so its a nice way to support the site! 2014 was a set of fun little toys of ninja, dinosaurs, and aliens that were the guardians of Christmas XD One drawing was about getting sick on christmas, which ironically happened to me a few years ago, and all honestly? It was nice to just REST during a very hectic holiday. So man, that one was a mood.

After this short interlude, the rest of the days were dedicated to "drawing challenges" the funpack newsletters gave, like "draw a picture of any characters found in the funpack at a holiday party", "a cover to a fictional Christmas special on tape", "anti-santa", etc. Since I got into Ultraman and tokusatsu, I do a lot of drawings for that because they absolutely fit the ideas of quirky drawing subjects. They're some of my favorite parts of the month to draw. So that's why you'll see just as wacky subject matter like an Ultra fighting a kaiju gremlin XD The Christmas NiGHTS replica was for one of my favorite xmas gifts; my husband, when we started dating, tracked down a copy of this game since I never got it when I was in my big NiGHTS phase.

Anyway, that's why I think the 23rd has some of the zaniest, experimental and funnest images of the whole advent, so thanks for hanging out with the yap session and enjoy really weird, contextless drawings XD

[transistor-rhythm-909]

My incredibly talented friend and partner Dio Maxwelle ( @weoncehadnamesofficial / @humanscandrivestick ) completed the cover illustration for Simply Delightful on stream last night and good god, I love it. Dio has done numerous covers for me over the years, and she always knocks it out of the park, and this is no exception- she brought the very basic idea I had for the illustration to life perfectly. Please go follow her and support her art and writing.

The version with some additional text provided by me will be used for the release, but a textless version of the cover will be included as a bonus item in the download. The single drops on 103 Records on the 24th of December- you can stream it in the meantime here:

Advent Calendar 2025 day 22: Cold Nights, Warm Coat

Another lineless experiment, with my boy JP. Still practicing recognizing good shadow shapes (my internal weakness next to folds XD), but so far, looking nice. I prolly won't have the all-character together by Christmas Eve, but if I do, that'd be something.

Kinda amazing how none of these are horizontal XD Also a rogue Isabelle XD

Advent Calendar 2025 day 21: Birthday Martini

This year my sister asked me for a dirty martini this year for her birthday drawing. It reminds me of the year I did a glass of whiskey (previous image post block).

[humanscandrivestick]

Advent Calendar day 21 2007-2024

The 21st is my sister's birthday so I always draw something for her.

Advent Calendar 2025 day 20: Happy Birthday Isabelle

I used this foil holly scrap for Isabelle's birthday pic this year, so I included a pic and a video to show how it shines because my scanner darkens foiled paper. I like the look of this one, with asymmetric scraps, the colored pencil on brown craft yardstick, and mounted on black cardboard. I haven't used pencils in ages so it was nice to come back to them for a bit.

I had this done way early so I don't have many left to do before the all-character on Christmas. Wish me luck!
