They Say I'm Sweet~

What's this!? Not only is this a non-hypnosis picture, but this isn't even a drawn picture! Is that what you're thinking? I also questioned if I wanted to put this picture up on the blog... but in the end I decided I would. This blog is not only meant to share all pieces of Erika art work in a place where I have no fear of things being removed, but also a place where I can neatly store all the Erika-related stuff that have been made along the way.

So with that in mind, we have this cookie shaped like me! A little known fact about me, is that I'm quite the chef. I don't have much of a self esteem, but when it comes to cooking, I can say I'm great at it. Which is saying something since, I think I suck at everything haha... But that's also why I can appreciate this piece here. I did not bake this, nor did it ever even occur to me to make something like this. All credit of this lovely cookie goes to amygdala on the Hub.

Since this is not a hypnosis drawing, this picture wasn't on the Hub traditionally, rather it was posted in the forums a long time ago. There wasn't only an Erika cookie, amygdala baked quite a few recognizable names at the time! Unfortunately, I only saved the Erika cookie picture, and if you were to track down this post on the forums, the original Dropbox link is dead. Meaning the other pictures of the cookies are now lost to the void of the internet... and even though I think this cookie is super cute, I'd hope that it served it's purpose and was eaten. If this cookie was still alive and uneaten after seven years, I don't think it'd be that healthy! 

 

As for how this came to be... I've never spoken with this person, and as far as I can tell amygdala is no longer active on the Hub. So I never asked for this, nor did anyone else who had their characters or likeness turned into a cookie. It was just something that amygdala did on their own one day! And for that, I'm incredibly thankful you made something so awesome and cute. I hope I was delicious! If you ever randomly happen across this blog post amygdala, know that I've always remembered this cookie! I could never forget and amazing project like this.

So for those of you here for the hypnosis art content, I apologize if this post wasn't quite what you were looking for! But I do my best to update the blog every Sunday, and so look forward to next week's post, as we will be back to our regularly scheduled Erika hypnosis artwork. For now though, I hope you enjoy this little tidbit of nostalgia. Again, this picture wasn't formally posted on the Hub, and the original link is dead, so a lot of you might've missed this.

Now Taken.

 

Hello all! We're back again with a new Erika picture of the week. In this image we have myself hypnotized by Violet, and OC by VioletRiot whom I briefly mentioned in last weeks post. All in all, this picture was an unexpected gift that I woke up to see one day on the Hub! And so, I have no idea what the details are behind the creation of this image. Nonetheless, I'm very happy to receive a gift! And so, we will go over this picture.

I've "known" VioletRiot for awhile. I say that in quotes because while I've known them by name, I've rarely interacted with them. I've seen some of their comments on previous Erika pictures on the Hub, and I'd quickly taken notice to someone who expressed being a fan. So to my surprise, I saw that they took it to the next step one day, and created a lovely image of me hypnotized! Even now, I can't say that I've ever really spoken to VioletRiot too much, but if you ever see this know that I greatly appreciate the gift!

It seems I've been hypnotized into a relationship! Most likely with Violet herself. Gotta change my relationship status to "taken" to cement the occasion! Ah, I remember the good old days when I used to use Facebook... Anyways I might have some difficulty doing that without a keyboard, but it seems like Violet was already aware of that error, as they mentioned it in the comments of this picture. 

What I WILL say though, is that this picture was way ahead of its time. Because only recently, like around 2020 or so, I gained a random but intense fetish for painted nails. Specifically toenails. It might sound weird to you, and talking about it like this, sounds weird to me! But hey, sometimes you can't help what you like! In fact, I incorporated painted nails into an original character of mine, who will be showing up on this blog at a far later date. I don't personally paint my nails all too often anymore, nor will any future Erika pictures have any plans of implementing this new aesthetic interest... But I definitely say that I don't mind seeing it here!

"I don't see why this needs an off switch."

So here on my blog, I tend to recount pictures featuring myself of course! Talk about how they came to be, the planning process, any relevant details and such. However, some of these pictures are very old. In fact, at the time of writing this blog post, I think this picture is almost seven years old! So... what I'm trying to say is unfortunately my memories about how this picture came to be are kind of hazy.

I CAN say that this lovely picture was made by the awesome artist, and good friend of mine Etlabsotwe, who was featured earlier on in this blog. If memory serves however, I believe that there wasn't really anything fanciful behind this picture in terms of back story. Etlabsotwe just wanted to make a hypnosis drawing, and I was chosen to be the subject for the piece!

In the event that I had no creative control over the picture, and I don't have much to say on how it came to be, I'll instead talk about the picture itself. So with that being said, I don't think you need me to tell you, but this picture is adorable! Etlabsotwe has always been a fantastic artist, and especially good at making hypnosis very cute. With of course, the slight hint of lewdness as Erika is stripping off her top. At the time, I remember Etlabsotwe was very against drawing any kind of nudity. Though it seems like these days, they are more up to it.

There's also a hypnosis spinning disc there, which is the main induction method. I am a fan of hypno screens and the like, but a hypnosis apparatus is a rare one for me. Not that I'd say I dislike them, more like I don't really have much of an opportunity to include them. Since if I'm choosing the induction method, there are very select ones that I love. Still though, you can imagine as if you're the dom in this picture, and you've just ensnared me with this device you made. As you tell me to strip, and all I really care about is watching the pretty device!

The title of this picture comes from a comment on Hypno Hub by VioletRiot. "I don't see why that needs an on / off switch. Something that great should be on 24/7!" which I thought was a funny and a cute comment. So I figured that it'd make a great title for this post, since I also agree with that statement!

A One Way Conversation.

Once again on the theme of hypnotic computers, here we have a piece by httpwwwcom, with Erika once again being hypnotized by a malicious computer! Now with a bonus animation~ Though I suppose saying being hypnotized by a malicious computer, but it seems more like it's actually a malicious person taking advantage of me through a Skype call!

So about this picture, I believe if I recall correctly, I requested it right around the same time as the previous entry on this list. I guess at the time I was in the mood for some hypnotic computers! To be honest, I don't actually remember requesting this. In fact, as I was planning out what to write for this post, I was totally ready to say it was an unexpected surprise. But after fact checking, it does seem like I requested it! So using my deductive reasoning skills, I can only assume that I really WAS in the mood for hypnotic computers at the time.

However, I do remember that httpwwwcom wanted to take his own spin on my idea. Instead of going with an evil monitor of some kind, the idea was changed to a first person shot of an unknown hypnotist using Skype as a medium to hypnotize me. This still technically falls in line with "hypnotic computer" and I really appreciate the originality of it. Both back then, and even now. I definitely remember saying how surprised and impressed I was that the artist took my initial plain idea, and made it into something more dynamic.

On the topic of httpwwwcom, they have been a hypnosis artist for quite some time. Showing up roughy around the time I did, and to this day, are still active in the hypnosis art scene. It's always a treat seeing more art from them, as they bring a very cute sense of style to these pictures. Unfortunately, I believe this is the only piece we will be seeing on this blog, but if you appreciate hypnosis art, then definitely check them out sometime!

 

The animation bonus was something completely unrelated to me. If I recall correctly, there were some comments from people saying things like "This would look so good animated!" or stuff like that. And it seems that httpwwwcom obliged, and animated the spiral as well as the eyes, which I'm of course totally down for! I don't actually think the animated version of this picture is on Hypno Hub, despite both versions still being available on Deviant Art. So those of you Hub only browsers might be in for a surprise treat!
