The First Ever Erikomic! -part two-

After the brief hiatus last week, we are back with the continuation and conclusion of my first ever comic and commission from Keeper of Pots! Here we have Erika being caught and hypnotized by Saalim, and finally stripped down and prepared to be eaten. To start things off, I'm actually not the biggest fan of vore. Soft vore is one of those neutral things for me where I'm fine with it but I don't love it per se. And hard vore is a big no. However, the creator of Saalim who goes by plsgts is a fan of it I figured we could have some implied vore at the end!

I hinted at this before in the previous post, but I do have some words of the creator on this comic. Now that we've reached the conclusion I'd like to share them here: "Well, in retrospect, I'm not a very big fan of how I drew you in that comic. It starts out decent enough, but it kinda deteriorates as it goes. I wasn't very good at drawing in the anime style back then. But from a comic story perspective, it's quite fun. I've always loved doing silent comics because the expressions and poses of the characters have to carry the story-telling all by themselves." And to be honest I actually do agree with that statement completely.

Even back when this page was first released in 2015 I always felt like I enjoyed the first page more and felt a bit of a dip in quality in this one. Though of course "dip in quality" for a Keeper of Pots image is still a top tier image regardless. But if I had to pick between the first and second pages, I much prefer the first. And it seems like the original creator has the same sentiments. Still though, it was a learning experience for him and I'm glad to hear he had a good time working on it!

I don't have an exact quote, but I also remember sharing this comic with plsgts when it first finished as well. He loved the comic too and of course was happy that his character was featured in it. However one comment from his did stand out to me which I do remember to this day. He said something along the lines of "If Saalim ordered her to strip, why was he acting surprised when she did?" I don't really have an answer to that question either. I suppose the panel could be interpreted as he liked what he saw... but I don't think that quite matches the character either.

Either way though, with this conclusion to the comic it cemented my future friendship with Keeper of Pots and everyone involved in the project was happy with the result! But looking back on it though, it really goes to show how even a great artist can improve over time! This comic was almost seven years old now at the time of writing this post and if you haven't checked out Keeper of Pot's more recent work yet I highly recommend you do!

The Ticking of a Metronome.

Welcome back! This week we have the debut of one of my favorite hypno exclusive artists! And that would be Vahn yourdoom. I'm sure a lot of people who browse hypnosis based hentai pictures have seen pieces from Vahn around. Currently at this moment in time he draws tons and tons of hentai and is actually incredibly well known. I've seen some articles on other sites featuring his artwork too! Though at the time of this commission he was still rather unknown hehe. This piece falls into one of the many pictures of this time period, and by that I mean I was just looking for a new artist of the week to commission a hypnosis based picture of me. 

 

Though as for how I met Vahn, as well as the contents of this commission I had a lot of help admittedly.

A few posts ago I believe I mentioned my friend Etlabsotwe? We had been in frequent contact since that point, and while we were talking one day I asked if they had a suggestion on someone to commission for my next hypnosis piece. They suggested Vahn who at the time was available on Deviant Art. I had never actually heard of, nor seen any art from Vahn at the time but I definitely liked what I saw! So I figured I'd shoot them a commission request. 

 

While I was at it though, I actually didn't really have an idea of what I wanted to commission... as per usual. So I once again asked Etlabsotwe if they could suggest any ideas for this commission! And luckily they had something in mind! Here we have a simple picture of Erika being hypnotized to strip with a a ticking metronome in the background. Metronome hypnosis is funny to me, because I actually see it used a lot in NON fetish hypnosis scenarios such as movies, but I almost never see it in fetishy type work. Maybe people aren't too turned on by them?

Etlabsotwe is definitely a fan of the classics though, and I am too at least to an extent. So I was ready to jump on the idea and pitch it to Vahn. He accepted and the commission went fairly smoothly! However, as you can see there are in fact two pictures on this blog post. The reason being that the original finished product was the one with the red eyes, and red aura. I had no issues with the red eyes and stuff even though it added a more magical element to the picture, but the original completed commission was missing my navel piercing. 

 

I did bring it up to him and asked if he could add it afterwards. However instead of just adding it, he also made the aura green as well as giving me my proper eye color. And all of that on a completely separate picture, rather than just editing the original. Why did he do that? Well I don't actually know to be honest. My memory is a bit hazy, but during the time he was working on this drawing, I had some casual conversations with him and the subject of reaching 100 pictures on Hypno Hub came up. Maybe he wanted to do an alt version to help in terms of quantity? 

Regardless, we ended up with two separate uploads for the Hub! So you can take your pick on whichever you prefer I suppose between the evil aura magically emanating from a cursed metronome, or the more traditional looking one. Usually when I do these blog posts I feature the original as the "big" picture with the alts as the smaller thumbnails, but for this I decided to use the alt as the main headline for this post. Mostly because I feel like it's the "definitive" version as it features my navel piercing, and captures a more traditional approach to metronome hypnosis instead of a magical one.

The First Ever Erikomic!

A few weeks back, I remember posting a sketch done by the wonderful Keeper of Pots. That sketch was done after I had met him of course, however the reason I had initially contacted him was for this very commission! As a quick rundown, I initially found Keeper of Pots on Hypno Hub and contacted him privately for a comic commission. His initial work was incredibly well done, especially the backgrounds. And of course I HAD to get a comic commission since it seemed that's what he specialized in.

As for the idea itself, well it's your basic "girl gets lost in the jungle and gets hypno snake'd" as per usual. The snake featured in this drawing is actually owned by a different artist known as plsgts. The reason why his snake was used instead of the standard Kaa was actually because during the time I really wanted to get a commission from plsgts, however he had already long closed his commission window. So I figured the next best thing, was to have his character show up in this comic and since he seemed to know Keeper of Pots and was a fan of him, I figured now would be the time to get a picture with me and Saalim.

 

As per the title of this post, this is actually the first ever comic I've commissioned of myself. Which even today, aren't as many as you may think. There are definitely more Erika comics to come in the future but this is the one that started it all! This is also actually a two page comic. I was debating whether or not adding BOTH pages to this post, but in the end I decided against it. Mostly because I'm doing my best to upload these pictures in chronological order and there was a few days gap in between both posts.. and in that time gap there was one other picture posted between the two pages, which we will see next week. This "rule" isn't absolute though and maybe at some point in the future will change. Just the whims of how I'm feeling now say "Let's do two separate posts!" and so it shall be.

 

Despite this definitely showing it's age compared to Keeper of Pot's more recent work, I'd say the charm was there. I commissioned him because of his great expressions as well as fantastic backgrounds, and he certainly did NOT disappoint. I do have a quote from him as well about his thoughts on the comic, but for now I'll save it for the second page's blog post. As a fun little bit of trivia For the longest time I used panel eight of this comic as my avatar on Hypno Hub. I definitely love that "in the process of being hypnotized" face. It was only replaced with a face from a different Keeper comic we will see in the future.

(Also in almost all of Keeper of Pot's drawings he has a hidden cameo of his yellow pudgy bird named Pooks. He's usually somewhat in plain sight but this is definitely one of the times where he's incredibly hidden. Can YOU find him in here? I know I couldn't without asking...)

"I suck at coming up with titles." - Erika 2021

Usually these days whenever I commission someone, I usually find an artist who's art style I already like as well as someone who draws content similar to what I'll be commissioning. For example, if I'm looking for a snake artist I'll commission someone I've seen draw snake art before. This is not an example of that. This piece is by Kobi-Tfs over at Deviant Art, who while is no stranger to hypnosis... is definitely a stranger to snake based commissions.

Of course, I don't mean that in any kind of negative way. I think this picture looks great! I just figured I'd say that because anyone who is familiar with his work are probably more used to seeing bimbofication, breast expansion, transformation, and other things of the like. Those aren't really my interests to be honest... but I AM actually a big fan of his art style. I don't remember when I first found him, but since he does do a fair bit hypnosis and mind bending content, I had already been well aware of him at this point. And since I had begun commissioning people en masse at this point, I figured I'd try my hand here as well.

Of course, he had no complaints about doing my commission and everything went smooth. I had an idea of what I wanted already, with a bust up shot of me being hypnotized by a snake with it's tail reaching down my shirt to add that bit of lewdness to it. Any thing else, he added himself such as the color of the snake as well as my expression in the picture. I didn't really take note of it back then, but I'm actually a fan of the cross eye plus Kaa eyes combo in certain scenarios. So that's definitely something I appreciate a lot more now in retrospect! Same actually goes for the ahegao expression, which at the time I thought nothing of but now I appreciate a lot more.

But yeah, outside of the tidbit of this picture most likely being Kobi-Tfs' ONLY snake drawing ever, I don't think there is much else to add here. (Don't quote me on that though. Kobi has done A LOT of art work of the years and is still constantly making great stuff. I also wouldn't be surprised if I missed a snake drawing here or there) The commissioning process was smooth and everything turned out well. I'd say it still holds up even now! 

 

One funny thing I'd like to randomly mention though... as I said that Kobi usually does transformation and bimbofication typed works right? When this was uploaded to Deviant Art, I remember someone in the comment section asked if the snake was "turning her blonde" in reference to the two tone hair color. I can't blame him for that, since that's the kind of content they'd usually see here... but yeah I could totally see that being a thing. Especially with the snake's scale color. So that was a kind of amusing interpretation of the picture!

Deep In The Jungle.

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming! This is once again another commission I made way back when. I had started the big commission train at this point, as I said before. This time we have a piece by Danimarion, who had actually showed up earlier in the blog. I had a request from him previously, however this time it's a full blown commission.

 

In the previous blog post I also noted that Danimarion had not really been into using Kaa eyes, or snake hypnosis in general. However, at this point he had already warmed up to them, and so I didn't feel bad at all about asking for a more traditional hypnosis based picture instead of a roundabout dazed look I asked for last time. Besides that, the commissioning process was fairly straightforward. I don't have any wacky tales of trying to get a slot, or having a weird time coming up with an idea.

 

In fact, I knew exactly what I wanted before I commissioned him which is rare for me. The pose here is loosely based on a different snake x girl picture by Jimryu. Say what you want about that artist, but the pose I originally based this picture one actually ended up awakening a specific snake fetish for me. It's what made me realize how much I LOVE snake crotch rubs. Where the snake's body or tail is just rubbing against someone's nether regions. Arguably better than full on snake penetration if you ask me! The picture I'm talking about that I used for reference can be found here.

 

I also asked Danimarion to add some underboob as well. I wanted to have the top fit the bottom of this picture where it's slightly lewd but not full on nude. Danimarion also asked me for my input on the background as well, which now that I think about it is kind of a rarity. A lot of artists when I commission them ask for a basic background idea to roll with or a simple one. Maybe not even one at all. So having full input on choosing what goes in the background is a refreshing thought. The whole waterfall in the background was also my idea too, as well as having it take place at night. However, the glowy eye effect on Erika's eyes was actually the artist's idea. He said he wanted to try it out since the picture took place at night and I was fine with it.

The final thing that made this commission unique however, was Danimarion actually streamed this live to me. I don't think there have been too many times in the hundreds of commissions I've had, where the artist worked on the commission live while I watched. That allowed me to discuss what changes I'd like in real time. That's actually very convenient to me personally, since for any artists who have worked with me before... well you probably know that I tend to ask for a lot of minor changes. I just figure if I'm paying for something I'd want it to look as good as possible! But that's actually given me some friction with artists before so I always second guess myself... Anyways I'm getting off track. The live stream was a great idea!

Overall, I love how this picture came out and I had a lot of creative control on this piece. Even the snake itself is a random snake I came up with. It's nothing too special looking right now though, as it's just a generic looking aqua snake. I do say "right now" though because in the future we see this random aqua colored hypno snake around. So if anything I'd say this species of snake is a pseudo OC of mine. You'll see a bit more of them in the future, maybe with even more details such as more unique scale patterns!

A Gentle Wrap.

Here he is! The man, the myth, the legend... It's the first picture of me drawn by the one and only, Keeper of Pots! For those of you who don't know (or didn't read the introductory post) Keeper of Pots is a fantastic artist and a very close friend of mine. Without him this blog wouldn't even exist! And we can credit the blog background, header image, and even the blog avatar to him as well. Not to mention helping me working out the kinks and getting everything on here going.

But before all that fun stuff, back in the year 2015 he was a stranger and we had only just recently met in January of that year. In particular, I saw a particularly striking image from him that was posted on the Hub. And as you might already know, I was looking for artists to commission more Erika related content. And so I just had a shot in the dark and sent him a message on the Hub to see if he was open for commissions... and luckily he was! He said he would be glad to work on my idea whenever he finished what he was currently working on.

In the mean time however, I was able to strike up a conversation with Keeper. We chatted in the DMs on the Hub for a bit before eventually transitioning onto Skype. All the cool kids used Skype back then you see. After getting to be more on friendly terms with Keeper, one day he just up and surprised me with this drawing out of nowhere. I had absolutely no expectation of this, since as far as I was concerned, I was just waiting for my turn on the commission list... and in the mean time I just happened to become friends with the artist who I was commissioning.

Now as you can already tell, I'm still very good friends with Keeper even to this day (in fact I'm literally chatting with him as I write this post) and so, I asked him for his input on this picture. Unfortunately it seems he doesn't quite remember why he made this picture for me in the first place. The best we got was this quote: "But if I know me right, I think I was curious as to what you'd look like in my style. But I can't say that for sure." But you know, that's good enough for me!

As far as the picture goes, well I'd say it's great! Keeper of Pots always has a great understanding of how important expressions are when it comes to hypnosis pictures. He really nailed the whole fascinated or enchanted look. The body language is spot on as well showing Erika rigid with attention. Though I do wonder about the text kind of clashing with how Erika is standing at attention... still though, a fantastic and cute piece and one of my favorites of the early batch of Erika pictures even if it was a sketch! 

 

Also as a quick note I wanted to thank Keeper for also providing the title for this picture, because everyone who reads this blog will know that I'm awful with titles.

You Can Never Go Wrong With Tentacles!

For those of you who have been following the hypnosis art community for a long time now, then you there's no doubt you've seen works from P.Chronos! A classic amongst classics, P.Chronos has been around for a very long time while probably inducing the hypnosis fetish into many people. In fact, I could name a few well known artists these days who have been inspired by him. And naturally, I am also a big fan of him too! So getting a picture from him was like a dream come true. Definitely one to mark off the bucket list that's for sure!

Though as for how we got here... actually funnily enough the story is more or less the same as a previous blog post. Specifically the one by mixx54. So, the reason both back stories are similar is because through making connections in the hypnosis art community I ended up being introduced to P.Chronos. I was just hanging out in one of Penken's streams one day and he happened to be a viewer. I'm not sure how Penken knew him but P.Chronos already seemed to be a regular.

After seeing him there I absolutely HAD to privately message him. At first I never really intended to ask for a picture or any kind of request, and I only messaged him just to talk to someone who has been apart of the community for so long. He also came off a very friendly person. Someone very easy to talk to, and during the entirety of the stream we hit it off and had a good chat. Naturally, the topic of me being in hypnosis pictures, as well as reaching 100 pictures. And with that, he volunteered all on his own to help out the goal!

There's no way I could ever say no to an offer like that! As for the what I wanted the picture to be though... well all I remember really saying was "YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH TENTACLES" (And that my friends, is about how much thought I put into these blog post titles) He actually ended up finishing this up rather quickly. In fact he did it during the Penken stream. And I gotta say, it turned out to be a banger of a picture! The boobs are on the bigger side, and the hair isn't perfect, but that's literally all I can fault with this picture. Sometimes keeping it simple is best, and he even remembered to add the navel piercing which most first time artists drawing me don't notice. Thanks again P.Chronos for this awesome piece!

A Mash of Ideas.

This picture is kind of a continuation of the previous entry on the blog. But by "continuation" I don't mean canonically. I mean in the same commission batch. This piece is once again by artist Medri, and was also ordered on the same set of commissions as the previous one, however this time it was commissioned by someone else. I suppose around this time, some people who were not people I'd actively talked to had begun to take notice of me. The person in particular is an amazing person and great friend named Roxa. You may recognize the name, as he's that guy who's commissioned tons and tons of great hypnosis art over the years.

Roxa had apparently come to notice me around this time, and he had also happened to be on Medri's list of commissions. Roxa then contacted me and asked if it'd be ok if he included me in a commission of his. Naturally I was ecstatic! Not only was he interested in including me, but also I was incredibly happy to know that people were starting to recognize me. Naturally though, since this would be Roxa's commission I didn't want to impart any suggestions or ideas. The fact that I'd be in it was good enough for me.

However, Roxa did ask me for some things that I like in a hypnosis picture. I do recall answering that question with "tentacles" because you can never go wrong with tentacles, hypnosis or otherwise! If I remember correctly as well, Roxa wanted to originally commission two of Medri's original characters before he decided to add me in as well. And so, taking his original idea of keeping Medri's two characters, then adding me on top of that, plus my off handed mention of liking tentacles... mix 'em all together and we get this piece!

On the blurb Medri himself left on the comment of this picture he mentioned that Cassidy (the orange alien) drinking an experimental tail growth formula, hence the empty bottle on the floor, and then encounter Kassidy (the blue alien) who was already in the process of hypnotizing Erika. I'm not sure if Medri himself came up with that scenario after hearing Roxa's idea, or if it was Roxa's idea after mixing and matching our ideas together. I was not there for the description of the piece after all. Still it definitely comes off as an interesting one and I'll always be thankful of Roxa taking interest enough in me to include me in a commission that he already had planned out.

The Commission Spree Begins...

 

Remember back a few posts ago when I said I had gained the idea of reaching 100 picture of myself on Hypnohub? Well now we are at that phase in the past where I started enacting that plan! This was the first commission I made when I had the urge to reach that 100 picture goal. And when it comes to the quality/quantity argument, I'd say this picture(s) has both! As you can see, it's a three-in-one deal featuring a clothed, underwear, and nude variant thanks to artist Medri!

Also referencing a previous post here, but after gaining some connections in the hypnosis artist scene I had ended up making some friends. One of those friends being an artist named Medri. At the time, I frequented his streams a lot. I remember just having them open while I wrote my essays for class. He would always play old cartoon movies while also drawing so it was a double feature! In particular I followed his streams extensively for about a month, until he finished his current commission batch.

When he opened up more commissions you know for sure that I'd be in on that! Though here's the funny thing... I did commission him for this picture. That much I remember for sure. However all else about this escapes me. Which is really weird since I usually do trust my memory and especially so if it was something I commissioned. Granted, I suppose this was coming up on seven years ago at the time of this post... If I were to take a pretty good estimated guess though, I'd say I went with the classic "Draw Erika hypnotized in some way." Without actually knowing exactly what I wanted. I say that because, while hypno visors can be nice, they aren't exactly my thing. Not the sort of thing I'd every commission of my own accord at least.

Regardless though, while visors aren't the hottest thing for me, I still do like them and if that's what Medri wanted to add to the picture then I was down for it! And so we have the picture of Erika kneeling while being hypnotized by a visor in three different flavors. I put the fully clothed variant at the top so we can look at the pictures in progression of slowly being undressed, but I think the nude variant was the original. Sorry for being a bit unclear for this post since for some reason I can't exactly remember why this picture is the way that it is... But nonetheless I'm pretty sure I got the gist of it! And it was the first of many to come for the commission train to 100 pictures.

It Pays to Tune In.

 

 I have returned with another weekly update for the blog! In this entry we have a picture by mixx54 featuring myself being impaled by a dildo type thing, while hypnotized! At least I think so. See, I actually had no creative control whatsoever when it came to this picture. It's also been quite awhile so forgive me if my explanation comes off a bit shoddy!

So, at this point in my hypnosis based art career I had made some artist friends along the way. Specifically, I made friends with Penken as I mentioned earlier in this blog. Through him and his Skype hypno-artist group I met some other people like Medri (who we will be discussing on here very soon) and with all these new artists to follow, I started tuning into art streams whenever I had the free time. Although it was rough on my old computer because just watching a stream made it scream out in agony...

So here's the part where things get a little hazy. I'm not exactly sure I remember which stream I was watching at the time. It was either Penken's or Medri's which is why I even brought Medri up in the first place. One of those two were streaming, and they happened to do a multi stream with mixx54. I'm not sure how they met him, or why he was there since as I recall he wasn't really a hypnosis artist. But I was there watching the stream and since I wasn't doing anything at that moment, I was able to tune into both streams. Running two streams on my old computer was like suicide if I tried to do anything else on top of that. But again, since I wasn't doing anything else I was able to squeeze both streams in as long as they both had all my attention.

To get to the point here though, while watching the stream of this artist who was unknown to me at the time... I do remember that after he was finished drawing what he wanted to do on stream, he asked in chat if anyone had a request. The chat wasn't too active at this time due to it being somewhat late if I recall. So as a joke I just said "draw me!" and linked my Hypnohub tag. I didn't even really specify the "request" to be a hypnosis based drawing, since like I said earlier he was an unknown artist to me, and his one streamed drawing was not a hypnosis based one.

Still nonetheless, he agreed and drew me. Maybe because I linked him to a hypnosis based website, or perhaps because he knew Penken/Medri (still don't remember which one it was) and that they are hypnosis artists, he decided on tacking on the bit of hypnosis to this picture. Which might explain the interesting style of eyes he went for this picture. Having the regular blue pupils with just green sclera on both eyes, with a hint of a hypnotic ring in them is definitely a unique take. From my experience, asking a non-hypnosis artist to draw something like Kaa eyes on their first attempt can lead to some interesting results. This being one of them! Still as a free gift and something I just asked for on a whim I'd say it's still great!

Thank You!

Hey all! So you know how at the end of each blog post I credit the artist and requester/commissioner? Crediting the artist, of course goes without saying. However why credit the requester/commissioner? All of them so far have been either no one, because it was a gift from the artist to me, or it was something I personally asked for. Well for those of you asking that really weird and random question I just came up with to pad the length of this blog post, it's pictures like these that make me do it!

You see, sometimes there are some incredibly kind people out there who request or commission a piece of art featuring me, without me really knowing intended as a gift! And I always have to give credit where credit is due! And this picture marks the first time someone did so! Specifically this picture was commissioned by my friend Erogmircs and the piece itself is by geekgirl8. Erogmircs being my friend who pays for most of commissions through Paypal, and I pay him back in person. While geekgirl8 being a fantastic hypnosis artist, most known for her lovely OC Kenny the Naga.

For almost all my blog posts, I've gone through as much history and lore as I could remember. Telling you all how each piece came to be, and any other thoughts around them. However for pictures that were gifted to me... Well I can't really talk exactly about how they came to be, since I wasn't really part of the development process. So for these pictures I'll speak as best as I can about what I know, and then also talk about my opinions of the picture.

So for this picture... Well I had already mentioned to my friend Erogmircs about my newly acquired goal of reaching 100 tagged pictures on Hypno Hub. He is a good friend of mine whom I've known since long before my days on the internet. I don't really know what he initially thought of said goal, but I suppose he was interested in helping me! See around this time, I think geekgirl8 was running emergency $20 head shot commissions to help out a friend. Erogmircs ended up taking notice of that and decided to commission a picture of me to not only help out me goal, but to help out geekgirl8 whom he is a fan of.

As for my thoughts? Well I like this picture a lot! To this date, this is the only picture of myself drawn by geekgirl8 and even though it's almost seven years old at this point, you can definitely see her unique style she brings. One of the most important things to me in a hypnosis is picture are the eyes/expression. And I'd say this picture nails both! We got the classic Kaa eyes, paired with a kind of lazy eyed look with a wobbly smile, as if to show that I'm really zonked out of it and just kind of going along with whatever the hypnotist is saying. The bare shoulders also imply nudity which is of course, always ok in books!

Inspiration.

This is a pretty interesting picture in terms of lore. To start off with, this picture was made by an artist known as Etlabsotwe. Though some of you who have been around for awhile might know this artist by a different name, they decided to rename themselves for hypnosis based drawings, and I will respect that here. Either way though, I first met Etlabsotwe by messaging him on Deviant Art asking for a request. I managed to find out about them through Hypno Hub however, as he was a budding artist just recently posting a bunch of new pictures that caught my fancy.

Now some of you might notice but, this is actually the first Erika picture on here that features my "default" outfit. That's because Etlabsotwe is a mostly vanilla based artist. Though he has been known to draw some nudity in recent times, he mostly prefers pictures with hypnosis as the focus more so than the porn. And that's also something I can totally agree on from time to time! So after discussing a request featuring the classic "Just draw Erika hypnotized" I had to also come up with an outfit to wear.

That was something that never really occurred to me before in all of my previous requests and commissions. I've never specifically asked or looked for a kind of outfit. So what I ended up deciding on was... Well naturally the outfit I was wearing at the time. Which consisted of skinny jeans, socks, and a skull t-shirt with a broken heart. The black hoodie is something I added on despite not wearing it, as I always wear a hoodie when I go out. No exceptions.

So with that, the default outfit for me to wear in hypnosis pictures was decided! As for the picture itself, well as I said, I didn't quite have an idea in mind as per usual and so we have Erika kneeling while being hypnotized by a pendulum! It's simple but effective. I've always been a fan of Etlabsotwe's art style and even then back when he was a new artist, I'd still say it looks very cute. Incidentally however, He did end up getting the eye color wrong. We've gone back to the green eyed Erika style! Though it was at this point however, that I stopped using photos of myself as references. There were enough drawings of me out there already that I could get away with just using a previously drawn one as a reference. So perhaps that's where the mistaken eye color came from.

Though one important thing came from this meeting, and it wasn't this picture. After becoming friends with Etlabsotwe, we had an extended discussion about random things on Deviant Art. Stuff about our lives, future goals, etc. In particular though, he did ask me if I had any immediate goals I wanted to accomplish. My answer to that was no. I didn't really have anything I wanted to do. He said it's good to have something to work towards, even if it might be something trivial. Help keep yourself motivated you know? And eventually it was through that conversation that inspired me to create a random goal. That goal being: Reach 100 tagged pictures of myself on Hypno Hub.

Yes that's right. For those of you who've seen me around a lot back in 2014/2015 it was because I was randomly inspired to meet a completely arbitrary goal of 100 self tagged pictures. It just kinda hit me as something random to work towards. So from here on I started commissioning a lot more pieces of myself, which eventually got me noticed by people. Either recognizing "Hey it's that blonde and black haired girl being hypnotized again!" or people actively realizing and supporting me on that goal. This interaction with Etlabsotwe is what started it all, and for that I will always be thankful. I met some awesome friends along the way, whom I'll never forget for the rest of my life.

Something Different Perhaps...?

Now now, I know what you're thinking! Based on the title you might be thinking "Wait, there's nothing different here! It's just Erika with Kaa again right?" Well yes that is absolutely true! However this picture was something I was very heavily contemplating uploading to the blog, and will set a precedent for what other images may show up here. This blog is indeed called "Erika's House of Hypno" but more than anything, I created this blog to host ALL Erika based pictures that I could find. All in one convenient place. So the reason why this picture is different is because... Well there actually isn't any hypnosis in this picture.

So yes, despite this picture featuring no hypnosis whatsoever I decided to upload it to this blog. There aren't TOO many non-hypnosis based pictures of myself floating around so it'll definitely be a more rare thing. Even still I feel like this picture should still be showcased none the less! Including future non-hypnosis based ones as well. If that isn't your cup of tea then I apologize in advance!

As for the specifics of this picture, it was done by a Japanese snake peril artist I met on Deviant Art by the name of kaitakuan. I specifically said "snake peril artist" and not hypnosis artist because again, I don't believe he has ever done a hypnosis piece. I just happened across some of his work before and saw that he had requests opened up. So naturally I decided to throw myself into the lot, asking for myself with Kaa. However at the time, this artist was very popular and so his request queue was very long. I don't even remember when I had requested it, but it was probably before the RoC commission.

Eventually though, kaitakuan did get to my picture and here we have the result! I actually never specified in my request to have any kind of hypnosis going on in the picture. I suppose I took it for granted that any time I'd mention "Kaa" naturally hypnosis would come with it. But yes, that was definitely the wrong assumption to make, and so we have a non-hypnosis Erika picture! Besides that I do like how he got the details right about things such as the navel piercing. The boob size is a little too big for my tastes, but overall I'm happy he did eventually follow through on it.

 

Unfortunately the tale of kaitakuan doesn't have a happy ending though. He constantly accepted free requests from anyone who asked, and eventually in 2018 it drove him to give up and leave Deviant Art permanently. Some people can definitely be very pushy with their requests, and it's sad to see someone who only wanted to make people happy end up being shooed away... But still I'm glad I managed to get one in before he vanished.

Some Snake Bondage.

This marks my official third commission of all time! This time, featuring the artist oo Sebastian oo. If you've been around the hypnosis art community for a time, then I guarantee you've seen a picture from this artist. With a whopping 1200+ pictures tagged under his name on the Hub, and the most recent one being only uploaded about ten days ago from this post... well you can surely see what I mean. Who knows how many pieces he's done that haven't even been uploaded!

But let's travel back a bit. At the time of this commission, he wasn't nearly prolific and in fact was kind of new when it came to drawing hypnosis based stuff. I had seen him popping up around more frequently though as I browsed the Hub, and so I decided to contact him and get a commission myself. As for the idea of this one in particular, I actually had something in mind BEFORE commissioning it. I know, that's a real rarity with me. The pose itself is actually very unique and was heavily inspired by a sketch from an artist know as plsgts. 

Unfortunately, I seem to have lost the original sketch that I based this commission off of. But either way, plsgts definitely knows how to get really fun and unique snake poses and positioning when it comes to lewds. Other than a few coils here, positioning of the tail, the snake itself, and the character, the commission I had here was pretty much a psuedo-remake of the picture in question. Because I loved the original idea so much and plsgts had no intention of finishing his sketch, I asked to borrow the idea and put my own little spin on things. Which is actually something that'll be happening again a lot later in this blog.

Anyways, with all that out of the way I immediately looked for an artist to finish the idea. And again as I mentioned earlier, as luck would have it I saw that oo Sebastian oo was popping up around the community. He seemed open and ready to accept commissions at a moments notice, and so I immediately contacted him and we got to work right away. During the process though, the initial sketch had... very different proportions than what I imagined. Both Erika and Kaa definitely felt a bit off. My first ever commission from RoC had no problems, and my commission from StormFeder didn't really leave me much room for corrections anyways. So this time around was the first time I ever had to start making corrections on a commission.

 

Luckily, oo Sebastian oo was a good sport about it, and after a lot of back and forth emailing we finally got it right. Little did I know though, making corrections and annoying artists with my constant corrections would become somewhat of a trend. I suppose I'm of the mindset of "If I'm paying for this I want it to be as perfect as possible!" and sometimes that can definitely be annoying. Again though, oo Sebastian oo was a great sport about helping us get through this, and overall I'd say the final result looks great! If I could make one change to it now though, there would definitely be some snake cock on the bottom there where I'm sitting. I guess back in the day I wasn't anywhere near as degenerate as I am now!

The contest winner. -finale-

And here we are! Just like the title says, this is actually the last picture in the series of contest winners from HypnoGoat666.

Regardless though, despite this picture being the "last in the series" for lack of a better term... there isn't actually much else different to say about this picture. To elaborate more this picture, like many others from this franchise suffer from the ECS. I mentioned it in my last post, but that'd be the "Erika Commission Syndrome" in which I try so hard in getting a commission from an artist, despite not having a clear idea of what I want. Thus I mostly come up with a quick on the spot idea, or leave it to the artist entirely. Well this one wasn't actually a commission but the ECS applies nonetheless.

So with that in mind, I too left this idea in HypnoGoat666's hands and we ended up with this idea here! It looks like magic based hypnosis with a mysterious individual or perhaps individuals placing a crest on Erika's chest which somehow sealed her mind or induced a trance! You know, I'm actually a big fan of magically induced crests/tattoos that imply a kind of mind control. However the ones that I am more used to are the crotch tattoos you'd seen in hentais or doujins. This one was more of a chest engraving, and while I'm still down for it, it's not QUITE what I'm into when it comes to these kinds of inductions.

But yes, like I mentioned earlier, this is the final picture I managed to sneak in from HypnoGoat666. Not too long after this picture came out he had stopped making the journal posts about contests, and then about a year after that he closed his account on Deviant Art. I did notice a few other accounts pop up that were clearly him under a different name but those also ended up closing too. I hope he's doing well wherever he is!

The Second Commission! (With a bonus alt)

After I had a taste of that sweet, sweet commission life you know there's no way I could back! And yes, here it is. The second thing I've ever commissioned. This time from the incredible artist known as StormFeder! He's actually a pretty well known artist outside of the hypnosis community, and getting a commission from him is definitely a chore if you know him.

To go more into detail, on specific times when he's ready to accept commissions he gives a warning before hand and a count down. Once that timer hits zero then you just gotta message him on Deviant Art as fast as you can asking for a commission. That's all there is to it. However due to the amount of people interested in commissioning him, even if you time it perfectly to send the message when the timer hits zero, and he has something like ten slots open... well that doesn't mean you're guaranteed a spot. Trust me on that. At the time of writing this blog post, his commissions opened up and I tried to get a slot. I did everything perfectly and yet, I failed. 

With all that being said, the me of 2014 did end up getting a slot. Perhaps he wasn't as well known at the time? Either way I just happened to see he was accepting commissions, I happened to like his art style, and the raffle/race type thing intrigued me. So I decided to try it out, and hey I managed to get a slot of my first try! Though once again, I suffered from what I'll dub the "Erika Commission Syndrome" where I focus so hard on snagging a commission, without actually having and idea of what I want. A sickness that still plagues me to this day unfortunately...

Without anything to really go by, I just asked for something of a stage hypnosis type picture. With myself being hypnotized to strip on stage. The spread legs are a detail I also asked for because I just happen to also really like spread legs. But yes, as you can tell not too much thought went into the description of the commission. Though I believe it was simple enough that if done right, could really turn out great. And hey, after all this time and despite this being my second ever commission, I'd say it definitely did! However, unlike most artists StormFeder does NOT send WIPs as the commission progresses. So I wouldn't blame you for not recognizing the "stage" aspect of this picture.

 

Also rather than drawing me stripping, StormFeder opted to just do one picture in my underwear (which actually kinda looks more like a swimsuit) and one nude. I didn't particularly mind though, because usually artists charge extra for nude alts and the like. So hey, two pictures for the price of one! There are technically two other alts to this picture because in the original draft he forgot my navel piercing. So that was a free change he made as well. 

 

Though the difference is so minuscule I didn't bother uploading the lack of piercing alts. That and also I don't know how to upload pictures on this website in a side by side format. They always end up on one picture per row, so with four pictures stacked on top of each other, the post kinda got messy looking. In the future there may be pictures with lots of alts, or extensions I'd like to have in one post so I'll see if I can find a solution by then. If not then we'll just have to deal with the weird tower of pictures.

A Surprise Gift!

There have been a few times on this Erika art adventure now, where people have given me art out of the kindness of their hearts once getting to know me. I'm always appreciative of that! But this is actually a first amongst even those gifts. This picture marks the first time someone who I have previously never interacted with before drew something for me!

Around the time the previous picture by nettimato was posted, an up and coming hypno artist named Penken also took notice of me. In fact, in the Deviant Art upload of the previous nettimato picture, Penken commented saying "Seems like everyone is drawing Erika, I wonder how long until I'm next." It definitely made me happy that some people were actually starting to notice me! Immediately after noticing the comment I replied, saying that if he was interested I would be down!

We exchanged Skype info and talked it over, then very quickly this picture came to be! As far as the composition and idea goes, it was entirely Penken's idea. I don't think I really had much to suggest in terms of this picture, which is why the premise of disembodied tentacles and a floating hypno happy face are very unique in terms of Erika related pictures! Not to say they are bad though, I'm actually quite a fan for sure! The dark lines underneath the eyes also give off a very tired look to Erika, and I think the whole tired/sleep deprived look is a very underrated fetish!

 There isn't much else to say about this picture, but I can say that this random meeting did spark a friendship between Penken and I which actually still persists to this day! He's an awesome dude who makes great hypno based art work for sure. I think it's pretty cool how I've met some great friends along the way, whom I still know even now. Sometimes the hypnosis community can be pretty darn cool.

Today on HYP-NEWS.

Coming straight from the very first commission ever, we return back to the world of requests! After all, that first commission I got was mostly a fluke in the first place and so I wasn't too comfortable about starting the commission train JUST yet. This picture has a pretty simple back story, and yet there is actually a lot more to this picture than you might think.

So to begin with, I just happened across the artist's page on Deviant Art as per usual. They had a journal entry up asking for suggestions on female characters and hypnotic methods to draw. I immediately hopped on board and suggested drawing myself hypnotized by a giant hypno screen. As for why I chose that particular method, well it was the first thing that came to mind really. I just wanted to see if the artist would pick me, and so I just quickly came up with something on the spot.

 

Luckily, I caught the eye of the artist. Supposedly I had "the most interesting suggestion so far" and to my surprise, the artist immediately got to work on the suggestion and then finished it on the same day. I definitely did not expect it to go by that fast! But yes that is how this picture came to be. The stripping was actually something that was not in my original suggestion, but hypnotic stripping is always a plus in my books! And the title of this post is also lifted from the title the artist gave this drawing. So I suppose that means I've found myself watching some HYPNOTIC NEWS PROGRAM. Never trust those pesky news programs. You never know when they'll mess with your brain!

Finally to elaborate on what I said earlier about there being more to the picture than you think... Well I said that because it was around this time where Hypnohub started accepting OC character tags. Some of you may not know this bur originally Hypnohub did NOT allow a character tag if the character was an original creation. Imagine how different the site would be today if they kept that rule active... 

 

But yes, with that rule no longer in place, I began tagging the previously uploading pictures of myself with my own tag. I was also able to link my tag to this artist in particular to use as a drawing reference for this drawing. It was around this time where I thought to myself... "It'd be cool if I could get more pictures amassed here, now that there's a way to organize them." And that thought would soon blow up in the coning months!

As a bonus, I actually managed to track down the original journal post by the artist where I gave my very simple suggestion. You can view that journal entry here.

The beginning of it all. (With a bonus animation)

Ah yes, here it is. This is a post I've been waiting to talk about for a long time. On top of it being one of my all time favorite Erika pictures even to this day, this picture also holds a very special distinction. This is the very first picture that I have ever commissioned. As a special bonus to celebrate this picture, I added a never before seen animation manip of this picture at the bottom. And with that, we got a lot to talk about!

Not only is this the first ever picture I've commissioned, but this is also the start of the influx of pictures related to me. While there have been numerous pictures I've posted on this blog already, they were actually pretty decently spaced out time wise. For reference, this picture came out in late 2014, and if you might recall in the very first post that the first Erika picture was in 2011. And as some of you may know, it was around 2015 where a lot of pictures of myself started showing up. It can more or less be traced back to this commission.

So, for some of you older hypno art fans you might've traced your first hypnosis art pictures back to some of the of classic artists. Jimryu, P.Chronos, Sleepymaid, RenaissanceOfChaos, etc. They've been drawing hypnosis art for quite a while after all! I couldn't really say what the first hypno art I saw was, but I was absolutely a big fan of those artists I just listed off. And it just so happens that around this time period of 2014 RenaissanceOfChaos randomly opened up commissions. RoC was actually one of my favorite artists at the time, and even now I'm still a big fan! In fact in an earlier blog post I talked about one of my favorite hypnosis images being about hypno eye tentacles right? Well it was actually a picture by RoC. Specifically this one.

When I saw that I knew I HAD to get something done. However the reason I hadn't commissioned anyone prior to this specific moment was actually due to a personal reason. Let's just say my bank and Paypal don't really get along. Anyways that hadn't really changed at this point in time either. But even with that said, I could not pass up an opportunity to get commission done by one of my favorite artists of all time. So in the end, I actually ended up asking a friend to pay for the commission in my place. Of course I paid my friend back though with cash since we lived close to each other. That friend of mine has been paramount to the Erika pictures, because even to this day I still can't really use Paypal. All my commissions have been fronted by him.

But yes, with that I had secured a spot with one of my favorite artists! Obviously I was ecstatic. So naturally, for my choice of the commission I wanted something similar to my favorite piece by said artist. That's why we have more hypno tentacles! When I think about it, it was an interesting choice on my part, since I usually like to commission artists with their strengths. RoC is an incredible Kaa artist so usually I'd go with something like that... And of course I do in the future. But I suppose for my first commission going with something based off of something I loved was the immediate knee-jerk reaction.

As for the posing and all that though, RoC handled it. I wasnt too specific with what exactly I wanted with the picture. If I recall, it was something like "A picture similar to the one you did before, but with myself instead." And with that vague information to work with, I can say he absolutely delivered. The posing is fantastic and I couldn't have thought of anything better myself. As I said before this was and still is, one of my all time favorite pictures of myself. And as something that also happens to be my first commission ever, I couldn't be happier!

I'd also like to mention that back in these days I didn't really have any character sheets, or even very many other works to base the pictures from. And so whenever I asked an artist to "draw me" I usually ended up sending a photo reference. Nowadays I don't do that (so please don't ask) but even then, a lot of artists never really got the hair style quite right. However for this picture RoC also absolutely nailed the hair style as well. Whenever someone asks me what hair style they should use for me when drawing me, because there are so many. This is one of the pictures I refer to as a reference.

As bit of a bonus note though, I did mention there was a mini animation attached to this blog post. I asked a third party artist named ivatent to animate this particular piece, as well as increase the resolution. The original drawing was a bit on the small side after all... But yes this manipulation was also funded by me. I only did it just because it'd be a way to spice up my original commission, but when I decided to take this blog more seriously, I figured I could also share it here as a bonus!

The contest winner. -part five-

<insert description about HypnoGoat666's contests and how this picture came to be> And with that whole spiel out of the way let's talk about the picture!

 

... Alright that's a bit of a cop out. Though at this point some of you readers might be wondering "How exactly did she happen to win so many of these contests!?" and I don't really have a proper answer for you unfortunately. It's nothing as grandiose as I'm incredibly lucky. Nor is it anything as nefarious as I'm cheating. I've said it before but back in the day I was VERY dedicated to getting some art of myself. So sitting there refreshing a page a few hundred times, just to hit the specified number of views wasn't too bad.

 

So talking about this picture specifically, well those of you who know me would know that I absolutely did not come up with this idea. As per usual I left the artist with the description of "Anything as long as it has me hypnotized in it." I say that because I'm actually not the biggest fan of maids. Well at least fetish wise. So me specifically asking to be made into a maid is something I most likely wouldn't do! I do think the little addition of the tiny demon was nice. If I recall correctly, HypnoGoat666 liked to include those mini demons in some of his works. So I guess he just wanted to put it in here, if only just because he likes them. And to be honest I'm down for that, since I mostly prefer non-human doms anyways!

 

But yeah unfortunately I don't have have much to say on the creation of this picture, nor about the picture itself. For those of you who are tired of these kinds of posts, rejoice! For I believe there should be only one more left? At least off the top of my head.

Feel the Heat.

Ah yes here we are with another picture! This one in particular featuring myself being hypnotized by a mysterious floating orb. Helplessly following it as ominous tentacles from the darkness reach out towards me... Actually for those of you who have known me for a very long while might recognize ths particular scenario. 

And for those of you who don't, allow me me to elaborate! A long time ago before I was eve invested in hypnosis based artworks of myself, I used to be somewhat of a writer. Nothing really fancy or novel like, but rather very short stories featuring myself hypnotized and taken advantage of. Strangely enough a lot of them also seemed to be tentacle focused... Well I suppose that's something I never grew out of since even now I do love them tentacles!

Anyways though, yes this picture is in fact based off a story I wrote a very long time ago. I still do have the story laying around, and honestly I was considering uploading it to the blog but I decided against it. There really isn't a major reason why I decided against it, more like I could attach it to this post which would make the text portion significantly longer. That or I could post it in a text dump site and link it here. Which I'm just too lazy to set up really.

As for this particular picture though! ... A long time ago I shared that story with a hypnosis artist named Black--Wave. He ended up enjoying the story a lot that it inspired him to make a fan piece of said story. I'm of course very grateful, not only for the drawing but also that someone appreciated something I wrote enough to make some fan art of it. Speaking of floating orbs hypnotizing unsuspecting Erika's though, this particular story seemed to somewhat well liked by people. I say that because somewhere along the line we will see another piece of art that was based off that story!

As a special note about Black--Wave though. He and I had actually met a decent while back. Probably one of the first few people I'd when I joined Deviant Art. In particular I was very interested in this project he was making at the time called "The Hypnodex". It was essentially a Pokemon styled Pokedex type submission that catalogued hypnotists, fictional or otherwise, alongside subs or people around the community. After befriending him he actually added me to said Hypnodex, and we had been friends since! However since the Hypnodex was a flash submission, it is no longer available on the web for me to share, and thus not possible for me to upload to this blog.

 

So for all intents and purposes, this is the first Erika based drawing submission by Black--Wave! Unfortunately he has since retired from making hypno based art work. However his Deviant Art page and art are still available for our viewing pleasure, which will of course be linked down below! And as a final note the title of this blog post is the title Black--Wave gave this picture on Deviant Art. I just rolled with it because if you haven't noticed by now, I'm pretty awful with titles anyways.

The Chosen One.

 

This picture actually has a similar-esque back story to the previous pictures by HypnoGoat666 by which I mean the creation of this picture was largely due in part to a contest hosted by the original creator. Said original creator went by the name HypnoScythe. I did intentionally use the past tense as unfortunately like many others in these older pictures the original artist seems to have disappeared off the internet...

But to go more into detail about this picture, well I don't remember exactly HOW I came across HypnoScythe's profile but it was rather new at the time of me finding it over on Deviant Art. Besides having one or two original pieces uploaded on the profile (of course they were hypnosis based which in hindsight is probably how I found the profile) I also noticed there was a journal entry stating that HypnoScythe was taking requests.

As I've said before but being the art hungry person that I am I immediately hopped on board and saw what was going on. Upon further inspection however, the requests weren't a "first come, first serve" kind of basis. Rather it was people could list off ideas and whichever ones struck the fancy of the artist would be the ones that were chosen to be created. Up to a cap of five at least.

Needless to say, I pitched the idea of another picture based on myself hypnotized. However unlike most times I did have a specific idea in mind. I wanted to go with something along the lines of a hypnosis based tentacle. You know like the ones with hypno eyes on its stalks. I basically lifted the idea off of another drawing that was my favorite hypnosis based drawing at the time. (Though we will go more into that in an upcoming post, sooner or later...)

And since we are here with this picture existing and being uploaded to my blog it's safe to say that my idea was in fact chosen! Hence my very clever title for this post. I was very happy to see that my idea was picked especially since despite this being a newer profile, a good chunk of other people had happened upon it and also threw their ideas into the lot.

Overall I'd say the drawing came out great! The artist even remembered to stick on that belly button piercing of mine, which is a detail that tends to be forgotten more often than not. On a special note though, I do distinctly remember preferring the original line art over the colored version. Those of you who know me would find that very strange, as I almost always prefer color over not. However, there was just something about having distinct lines I preferred, over the blurry coloring the artist used to accent the muscles on the body and such.

Regardless though I still am happy with the picture, and incredibly grateful that my idea was chosen above some of the other wonderful ideas that other people left. Wherever you are now HypnoScythe, I hope you're doing well!

-Post Publish Note: I dunno why but even though the background of this picture is transparent, it appears as pure white when seen on the blog. I'm not sure how to fix that but if you click on the picture you should see the proper transparent background anyways-

Hazy memories.

I'm going to be honest with you guys here... While most of the time I can remember fairly vividly how each of the pictures on my blog came to be, this one in particular leaves me at a bit of a blank. Don't get me wrong I do remember a decent bit but as to HOW we got here well that's entirely a different story.

The picture in question was done by an artist named FreeShooter666. You can even see his name signed in the bottom right of this picture! The artist is still actually active to this day although he goes by a different name. However the thing here is he does not specialize in hypnosis based drawings. In fact I don't even really think he has done any. Though there are a lot of snake based peril pictures he has done and I'm assuming that's how we got into contact.

That being said I have no idea how we got from there to here. I can only assume that I had asked for a request at some point and he obliged. Also as he is not a hypnosis based artist the hypnosis elements in this picture are left kind of vague but I suppose the mysterious dazed atmosphere of the picture is very appealing in its own way! Also the way we have Erika "wearing" the snake is top notch. To this day I'm a big fan of coiled censoring and we will be seeing it again in some of my favorite pictures on this blog in the future.

A fun little note is that after this picture I did stay in contact with the artist for awhile after. We became somewhat of friends and even played some video games together. About three or so years after this picture he said he wasn't satisfied with this old piece and promised to redo it at some point. Though it's been many years since even that and we aren't in contact anymore so I have doubts that he doesn't remember. It's not worth harassing him about it but I never forget promises like that hehe.
