Keeper of Pots Sketch Commissions! Part 2/3

Continuing where we left off last week, we have part two of the Keeper of Pots sketch commissions! Please refer to the previous post for details on how these sketch commissions came to be, as this week, we shall be jumping straight into the juicy tidbits of information! That being said though, I will still post this quick refresher here: While I did pay for the commissions, and I was given a general idea as to what the pictures would be... I did follow the Erika commission philosophy of "As long as it has Erika hypnotized in it..." and so, Keeper of Pots did end up deciding on the topic for all three.

With the second picture, we have me being hypnotized by a strange floating orb. As it clearly has caught my attention, it moves and lures me away down into a shady part of town. I don't seem to mind though, as all I care about is following the pretty light! Where will it take me, and what awaits me at the end? No one knows! ... Actually that's not true, because I know! For you see, this picture was in fact, based off a story that I wrote. I had once shared my personal lewd hypno stories with Keeper of Pots, and out of all of them this idea was his favorite.
 
In the story, I'm drawn away by a hypnotic light as I mentioned earlier. After being taken to a dark alley, I meet up with the man who used this alluring magic. Well I say "man" loosely, because in actuality, it was an unspecified creature in the guise of a man. Something with tentacles, that lusts after young women! Even though I wrote the story, I didn't really have an idea of what the guy was. An alien? A demon? I don't know! It was more of a means to an end to have a man with tentacles and hypnosis orbs. I specifically mentioned "hypnosis orbs" because that was a very niche fetish I was into at the time. I actually distinctly remember what picture it was that inspired me to write this story too. It was this one here.

I won't be posting the story here, because as I mentioned in a previous post tackling the same issue... While I have no problem with sharing the stories themselves publicly, I just don't think they deserve a dedicated blog post! Especially since I made this blog to share images. However if there were enough interest, I'd totally do it! ... But no one has said anything, and thus I'll assume no one is interested. Which is totally fine of course. But keep in mind, I do read all the comments and reply when I can! So if you have questions or requests let me know!
 
Getting back on topic though, I did mention that this was Keeper's favorite story out of the ones I shared. So it's no surprise he felt motivated to do a call out for it in these sketch commissions! When I asked him for a comment about this picture, he had this to say: "Among all of the stories Erika wrote, the one this picture is based on remains my favorite. It checked a lot of fetish boxes for me personally, hence why I most likely chose to depict it. I was happy to be able to work in some cartoonier aspects into the background as well, as I've always had more of a preference to western cartooning rather than the anime style and its slightly more realistic tendencies."

With all all that being said, the picture itself turned out fantastic! And in my personal bias, I'd say out of the three, this one is my favorite! All of them are great of course, but this one encapsulated what I really love from Keeper of Pots. Gorgeous and detailed backgrounds, with fantastic hypnotic expressions! Both show the amount of love and care he has for every image, as well as the fetish itself. After all, expressions are one of the most important parts of hypnosis fetish images in my opinion!

Keeper of Pots Sketch Commissions! Part 1/3

Hello, hello! We're back again with another post, this time by the blog's (more or less) co-founder, Keeper of Pots! He surely doesn't need an introduction again, but to sum it up, he's been a great help with not only this blog, but with making hypno art fun all these years! On top of being a great friend, whom I still talk to even now. As you can see from the title, this picture is part of a multi picture series. 

By that, I don't mean this picture will have sequels, but rather they came from one singular commission. At the time, I REALLY wanted to commission Keeper of Pots for another drawing. He is an absolutely fantastic artist, and so naturally I'd want more content from him! However, at the time he was simply too busy to take on a fully colored commission from me. He had other commissions to work on, on top of his own personal projects. After enough haggling though, I managed to convince him to do some sketch drawings instead. Something that'd take a lot less time to do!

I'm a big advocate of having picture be fully colored to be completed, however I definitely took the deal. The reason being, the second part of the agreement. Sure it'd be a sketch commission, but by paying the price for one regular colored commission, I instead got three sketched pictures. At this point I had already started my journey of having 100 pictures on the Hub, so not only would I have gotten more Keeper of Pots drawings... but I'd also get three pictures to add to the tag, for the price of one! Sweet deal for sure.
 
With that though, the deal was struck and Keeper got to work. However, another caveat of this deal was I didn't really have full creative control as to what these pictures would be. Sure I had some guidelines, and we discussed the ideas together, but I didn't really pick and choose what he'd draw. He more or less went with the usual rule of "As long as it has Erika hypnotized in it, then it's all good!" And so, this is the first stop on the three part sketch commission.

After asking Keeper of Pots for a comment about this picture, he had to say this: "I think I was quite happy with how this came out back when I drew it, or at least I wasn't dissatisfied with it. But looking at it now, it's pretty janky. The anatomy is definitely pretty questionable so hopefully that just informs the fact that I've gotten better since then. I think it was partially inspired by a similar tentacle picture drawn by RoC."

I also had a feeling that it was inspired by the very first commission I'd had from RoC. Though eye hypno tentacles aren't exactly unique per se, the posing, the Kaa eyes, and just the general feel gave me that impression! You could even view it as a psuedo sequel to RoC commission. Though it seems Keeper isn't too happy with how it looks now compared to before... and I suppose I can agree! He's already improved as an artist, and so looking back on old pictures, it's natural to see improvements. That being said, I still think it looks great, and minus some gremlin-like proportions it's lovely! Though the chibi look is something Keeper of Pots has going for him, so that's not too much of a fault.

As a final little bonus bit of trivia for you, this is the first picture on the blog that actually features straight up vaginal penetration. There were some lewd pictures, and some nudity before... but this is the first one that actually shows any kind of actual sex going on. Just figured I'd let you all know that this picture technically took my virtual virginity I guess!

Forever A WIP.

Welcome! We're back this week with another picture by Psi, featuring myself ensnared by some sort of alien mass. This is actually the second week in a row that we have a picture from Psi. However, this picture is incomplete, and will probably never be completed unfortunately. But even if that may be the case, we can still appreciate what we have here!

I wouldn't quite call this a full on tentacle picture, but there are definitely tentacles in it. It seems like whatever alien abomination that has captured me, has long fleshy appendages that it uses to capture its prey. Though unlike regular tentacles which wrap and bind it's target, it seems these kind of absorb or grow over limbs in order to restrain them. Once it has held its target down, it uses a strange yet fascinating orb of light to restrain the target's mind as well. We can also see some tentacles coming into the side for some potential ear penetration perhaps?

To be honest, I'm not sure why Psi never finished this picture though, and I actually forgot to ask the reason before writing this post. However if I recall correctly, he just wasn't quite satisfied with how this was turning out. Unfortunate indeed...  I suppose I can't really complain though, since this was a completely free picture that Psi just sprung up on me one day. I'm not sure what spurred him to make this, but I personally thought it was solid despite the fact he wasn't too satisfied with it apparently. In fact, I STILL think it's solid, which is why despite it being unfinished, it'll still be going up on the blog! I've held onto it all this time after all.

There may be a chance that at some point in the future Psi MAY do a remake. Maybe. But even then I have my doubts, as later on down the road Psi ended up rehashing this idea for another picture. A picture that DIDN'T feature me. To be honest, that did make me a bit sad. Since I was interested in this picture, and the spiritual successor of it didn't even feature me! So if you're reading this Psi, know that I still haven't forgotten about this picture, and I'm still eagerly awaiting a future where it's finished and/or redone with ME ACTUALLY IN IT.

For those interested though, the successor of this forever WIP can be found here.

Cumming to a Store Near You...

 Hello again! We're back this week with another new post. Today we the debut of Psi, a very close friend of mine from the hypno art community! This is the first time he'll be showing up on the blog, though definitely not the last! It was also around this time that I had met, and started to talk to Psi. As I mentioned earlier, he and I are very good friends even to this day. Though that being said, this picture was entirely his idea, and it was definitely a pleasant surprise. 

I'd seen some of Psi's pictures around the Hub prior to this one, and I was already a fan. He contacted me privately at one point and asked if he could use me in a picture. As for the picture, I didn't know what, but I was down! There are very few ideas that I wouldn't want to associate myself with when it comes to hypnosis after all! After all was said and done, this is the picture we got~ It's fictional advertisement for Mesmermine Juice in all it's juicy glory! And also apparently a lot of sugar.
 
As far as I know, the hypno fruit Mesmerines were an original idea by plsgts. A hypnotic colored fruit, that is not only pleasing to the eye, but pleasing to the tongue as well. So good in fact, you might lose yourself eating them, and you just might find yourself over eating... But now we have it in a much more consumer friendly version. As a juice! I personally asked Psi for some comments about this piece, since as I mentioned earlier, this picture was done entirely without my knowledge, other than the fact that I'd be in it. So I wanted to know his thought process on how this came to be. This is the following quote:
 
"For that pic, in that period there were some hot pictures going around with hypnotic fruit, especially plsgts's Mezmerines. I thought about doing a hypno juice with them and got permission from the artist to use them for the picture. As for having you in it, I thought there should be some hot representative for the product, and since Hypno-tan was used for a lot of stuff around I thought to use another girl... also I always think having hypno pics with real girls in them makes them hotter <3"
 
 It seems like a lot of people have forgotten about poor Hypno-tan lately, but back in the day she was definitely a lot more popular, and apparently because of that Psi opted to choose me. I'm incredibly grateful for that, and the picture turned out fantastic! I love all cheesy one liner slogans used in this fake ad, it adds to the fun while still keeping that hypno twist to it. Also as a fan of fruit juice in general, I'd totally be down to advertise something like this. Hypnotic properties or not!
