Denisse Grigory the Shapeshifting Rock-star | The Result of the Survey

 

Today is my blog's seventh anniversary! 

It was fun reading everyone's answers and coming up with a character based on them. It caused me to end up with a character, who is different from my other characters. 

The Video 

Here's the video of the finished character, showing how I ended up coming up with her from your responses. It took me some brainstorming to figure out how your ideas should come together to create a cohesive character, but I like how the end result turned out. 

🎸Find out more about Denisse Grigory🎸

Denisse Griggory is a rock-star touring with her band in an urban fantasy world. She has the ability to shape shift and often shape shifts into a wolf. Besides that, she has nature healing spells that she can play on her guitar. She mainly uses her electric guitar to perform magic, while the shapeshifting was a power she got at birth. Her parents were trying to make her stand out when they had her, so they decided to name her Denice with a double s, instead of a c. (And also she views them as being weird for naming her that, but despite that she has never changed her name and wonders if her parents were obsessed with snakes). 

She wants to be known for her work and for her band to dominate the (music) world. While she isn't religious (instead she is more spiritual), she would like to be enlightened spiritually, as she views her magic and her music as beneficial to her spiritual journey. She lost her parents (they vanished mysteriously), so her immediate goal is to reunite with them. 

Denisse is someone you don't want to cross: while she is a healer for her band mates, she is intimidating to those who aren't. She also has a dark sense of humor, which is well received by her band mates, but not by everyone, and she sometimes worries she will lose a friend over it.

However, the stability of her band-life doesn't last, because one of her bandmates gets murdered-- and it appears that not everything is what it seems, for everyone could be lying.

 🎶 Playlist 🎶

While not all the songs in this playlist ended up being the character's theme song, I thought I would compile all the songs that people suggested into a playlist. 

If you don't have a Spotify here is the Youtube version, which you can listen to here. 

Anyway, this was fun! Thank you to everyone who participated in this. It was awesome seeing how the answers came together to create a character.

Let's Design a Character Together (Again)!

So, I did a survey back in 2021, to see what people wanted me to do again. One of the responses was a request for me to have the viewers collaborate together in creating a character for me to draw again. I had plans to, but hadn't gotten around to doing this until now. As in the past, I will use the majority vote and various answers from you, the readers, to the questions below to create a character through drawing and art. I will post a video or videos, detailing the creation of said character. You can see the previous character I made from everyone's responses back in 2020 here. 

 The character could end up being anything: a magical dryad, a detective, a magical elf detective, or literally anything you can imagine! It's all up to you, the viewers. This is because the collaboration (your response and/or responses) helps create the description, that I will use as an outline to create a character through my art. 

 This time around I gave more freedom for you, the reader, to not only answer questions, but you can also include things like name, theme song, and personality (if you wish) in your answers. 

Since my blog's anniversary is coming up in March, I thought this would be the perfect thing to do. I love when you, the readers, are involved in with me in creating things. 

So if you'd like to participate, fill out the form (it is anonymous, it won't record your email address or Google account, so you can leave answers to the questions and I can't tell who left it):

YOUR ANSWERS NEEDED: Let's Design a Character Together!

 This requires participation from you, dear reader, we are creating a character with the answers to these questions. The character who shows up in this might end up becoming either a recurring character on this blog, a god or goddess for one of the my pantheons in my Fantasy worlds, or even something else entirely different. It is all up to you to decide.

So, fill out the form (it is anonymous, it won't record your email address or Google account, so you can leave answers to the questions and I can't tell who left it):



I intend to film myself creating the character. I will begin after receiving all the answers, in a few weeks or a little longer depending on how long it takes to get enough answers to make the character. I intend to demonstrate my method for creating characters--at least one the ways I do it. Also, I'll get to see what a majority of you enjoy seeing in characters. This will be a challenge for me, but I am very up to trying this challenge. And once I have a way to film myself drawing and I do this once, I can probably repeat this process in the future.
