About Demoji
Demoji was born out of my desire for a playful, witchy character who could embrace all things magickal, from rituals to spellwork, while bringing a dose of charm and fun to the mundane world. I felt there was a gap in the market for a character like him, someone who could bring a touch of everyday magick to life. So, I created Demoji to fill that space, initially as a small companion in my illustrations. But as I continued to develop him, Demoji took on a life of his own, complete with his own storylines, adventures, and the rich, magickal realm of Septaema.
As Demoji’s world grew, so did his backstory. Septaema evolved into a land filled with mystical realms, ancient lore, and a host of fascinating characters. From the enchanting halls of Emberforge University, where magickal beings from all over come to hone their craft, to the mythical regions shaped by gods and ancient powers, DemojiWorld™ has become a universe where magick and mundane blend seamlessly.
My inspiration for Demoji comes from a diverse array of sources, ranging from Hello Kitty to Harry Potter and My Little Pony, as well as the dark yet adorable vibes of games like Cult of the Lamb and Hollow Knight. Much of the lore and legendary narratives within DemojiWorld also draw from the epic tales of Greek mythology. I like to think of Demoji as being as lovable as a Sanrio character, as profound as a Tolkien creation, and as timeless as the myths that have captivated us for centuries.
To bring the magick of DemojiWorld closer to everyone, I launched the DemojiWorld: Myth & Magick podcast, a bi-weekly journey where listeners can explore Demoji’s universe, learn about the Seven Realms, and dive into the legendary stories behind Septaema. For those looking to delve even deeper, there’s an exclusive Ko-fi podcast, DemojiWorld: Beyond the Realms, which explores the hidden tales, untold myths, and secret magick that goes beyond what most see. Together, these podcasts are an invitation to experience the magick - and mystery of DemojiWorld on a whole new level.
Demoji has come a long way from his first incarnation, evolving into a character with layers of history, friendships, and adventures that continue to unfold. As he journeys through Septaema, Demoji invites us all to embrace our magickal side, explore new realms, and find joy in the everyday magick around us. Whether he’s studying spells, exploring ancient ruins, or bringing a bit of chaos - and charm to his friends, Demoji embodies a spirit of adventure and wonder that I hope resonates with anyone who encounters him 🤍
