Greetings once again! Once again, we are continuing Erika's Birthday Batch this week. I can't stress how incredibly thankful I am to the people who have been willing to make me birthday gifts. I do feel like I've gone over this introduction a fair bit already, but even so I do think it's important to let everyone know that I am always very honored to have so many people do these gifts for me. And going over a different one once per week really drives that home.
For this image, we have a 100% original surprise gift from Black--Wave whom we've seen from this blog a few times earlier. Though what we HAVEN'T seen is an animation from Black--Wave... and hey what do you know! This lovely image does happen to be animated. It's not too flashy so might miss it, but if you look closely at my eyes... you can see them move. And also that kind of sounded like it's own hypnosis induction there hehe.
In this picture we have a naked version of me standing there holding a birthday candle. And it seems like I'm just so easy to hypnotize, that I managed to hypnotize myself by staring at the open flame. You can see my eyes drift towards the flame and quickly begin to go blank by looking at the pretty fire. To be honest, I've never been the biggest fan of self hypnosis in pictures as I've mentioned earlier, but it's not like I'd ever complain about it either. And even still, I feel like I'd count this under more of the "accidental hypnosis" rather than self hypnosis, which I find to be a lot better. I'd also like to top it off with the blinking at the end is a nice seamless way to loop the animation. And I love seamless loops!
Unfortunately, I do have to go over some errors I've noticed though. We once again see the return of the green-eyed Erika, as well as the lack of belly button piercing. Also if you look VERY closely, you can see that I secretly have a second set of eyelids when I blink. However, no picture is inherently perfect, and this was of course a gift to me, so these flaws would never detract from the gift itself.
And of course, we have to discuss the expression! And in this picture we have a standard happy face. Though the face actually has a double meaning here, as initially it seems Erika is happy celebrating her birthday. But after quickly going blank from the candle, her smile of joy changes into a smile of happy blankness. Even though the mouth doesn't change shape at all, it's the eyes in this image that tells the story.
