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.
