The Debut of... Hypno Team!

Hoo boy, do we have a pretty funny (and of course lewd) picture this week! Done by the ever amazing and creative Psi, we have the cover for the comic of Hypno Team! As it says, the team consists of four super heroines who all share a similar super power... being easily hypnotized of course! Why were these four girls chosen to be apart of this team when there are so many other characters with at special ability though? Well let's go over why here.

 

Back in 2015 on Hypno Hub, there was a forum post about how many pictures certain characters have. Of course there are really popular fictional characters we see in hypnosis art a fair bit like Mowgli from The Jungle Book, or Raven from Teen Titans. But overtime, the discussion drifted towards ORIGINAL characters specifically. And after doing a quick count, it was discovered that these four characters had the highest count for hypnosis based pictures of original characters at the time. The characters in question are: Erika owned by myself, Hypno-tan the Hypno Hub avatar, Crystal owned by Zko, and Kassidy owned by Medri.

 

I'm sure the tally these days is something far different, but back then these four characters were highest in terms of pictures on the Hub as far as original characters go. Normally that'd be a fun bit of trivia and we'd leave it at that. But something spurred in Psi when he saw that tally, and it gave him the inspiration to create this piece! Taking the most popular OCs at the time, he stuck them together on a team and gave it that old timey comic book flair to create this. You really gotta respect how many little details went into this comic cover to make it as authentic as possible. Such as the slight filter on the coloring to match that olden day style of comics, the exaggerated faces near the title, the twenty cents price, the campy over-the-top dialogue, and probably a bunch of other tidbits I missed. I'm actually not much of a comic reader...

 

And we also have a varied bit of inductions here! With myself being hypnotized and coiled by a singular tentacle, Hypno-tan hypnotizing herself with a pendulum, Crystal being ensnared by something on her phone, and Kassidy brought to attention by a hypnotic visor! Each induction and expression has a little bit for someone here, and all of them are great. However, I might be a tad biased, but if I were to pick a favorite out of the four, I'd have to go with my interpretation here. The coiling plus crotch rub and hypnotic eyes with some drool? Plus that eager expression as well! Definitely sign me up for that.

The other characters minus Hypno-tan are owned by other artists as mentioned (both artists have also been featured on this blog as well) and when they saw this piece, both were also equally as enthused! With Medri doing a solo Kassidy picture in her Hypno Team outfit, and Zko doing his own tribute picture (which will be featured here at a later date). The idea also inspired some sequel issues, and fan art from other artists too. All of which we will be seeing in the future. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but this might be the first time I've been featured in a picture with other original characters drawn by an artist who wasn't that character's original owner? It's a strangely specific thing to make note of, but it's good to keep track of these things when you're taking a trip down memory lane!

Edit (August 15th 2022): The first time I was paired with an OC drawn by the artist who didn't actually own the OC was the Keeper of Pots comic, which featured myself and Saalim, who is owned by plsgts.

 

Fight on, Hypno Team!

A New Hairdo.

Greetings again! We're back this week with yet another Erika blog picture! ... Which goes without saying I suppose. This time we have the timeless pairing of myself with Kaa, drawn by the one and only RenaissanceofChaos. RoC was seen earlier on this blog, and will always be noteworthy for me because he was the very first artist I've ever commissioned. Though funnily enough, RoC specializes in drawing Kaa related content. In fact, I'm sure most people familiar with RoC would know him by his Kaa stuff. So why was my first and only picture (before this one at least) not Kaa related? Well I explain that in the other post, so you should check it out if you haven't seen it!

So with that being said, this is my first pairing with Kaa by RoC! However, while this is the first time featuring this pairing from this particular artist, this was in fact not my commission! We can thank the ever awesome Roxa for this one. You see, at the time RoC was opening up some quick sketch commissions. At the time I wasn't aware of this even happening because I wasn't really following journal entries from Deviant Art mentioning this... so to my surprise, seeing this picture of myself pop up randomly shocked me in more ways than one! Not only was it a surprise picture of myself, but it was from one of my favorite artists at the time.

Speaking of the composition of the picture, it seems like Roxa wanted to go for a "Kaa is hypnotizing Erika to start stripping out of her clothes." And it seems he might be a bit impatient, as his tail is helping to speed things along at the bottom there. All while I can only smile and obey in blissful trance. A very simple yet effective combination. I'm definitely a huge fan of the cute little nipple tease, and of course the tail going into the panties. Specifically that latter one, is a huge yes for me and something that we have seen, and will continue to see on this blog. And hey, I didn't even have creative control over this one. Goes to show how Roxa always has great taste!

On the topic of not having creative control however, I would like to bring to attention that the hair style is very different than normal. Over the years artists have had very unique interpretations of me, and I'm fine with that. But the first RoC picture had such a spot on rendition of my hair style that it was shocking in a different way seeing this very different style. Not to mention my navel piercing is also missing from this picture. Of course it's in no way a deal breaker, as this picture is still lovely... but it's something that I'd definitely make note of and fix as soon as possible. Perhaps even sooner than you'd think...

Debut of Prehistoric Erika!

Now I know what you're thinking... "Wait! This isn't a hypnosis based picture!" and you're probably right! Though this isn't the first time a non-hypnosis picture has been added to this blog, and it most likely won't be the last. Admittedly, I was thinking of posting this picture in a sketch dump type post, because there will be some of those in the future! But I figured this picture deserves it's own unique description. Plus I also think it's super cute!

So to begin with, this picture was done but the ever awesome Keeper of Pots! In particular though, this picture was drawn in Microsoft Paint of all things. Hearing that actually blew me away, because if you're like me trying to draw something tangible in Paint is ridiculously hard. However, not only is this picture actually incredibly coherent, but it also just looks fantastic. If you had come to me and said "This was drawn in Paint." I definitely wouldn't have believed you.

As for how this picture came to be though, I remember I was discussing with Keeper of Pots about my love for dinosaurs. For those of you who don't know... well I love dinosaurs. In fact, there should be a dinosaur in the background art of this very blog! But Keeper of Pots being a more cartoony based artist, whenever I saw him draw a dinosaur it was usually more goofy or friendly looking. I've actually never been the biggest fan of friendly looking dinosaurs, and much prefer a realistic approach to them. So I was wondering if Keeper of Pots could actually pull that off?

Then he just randomly surprised me with this on that same day. Something he managed to cook up fairly quickly all things considered. The dinosaur while not being the most realistic, was definitely less cartoony and friendly looking than the usual. The chibi-ness of the picture was still there, keeping up with Keeper's sense of aesthetics. But I do feel like that does overall make the picture as unique as it is. 

 

And of course it wouldn't be an Erika picture without me! Representing me, is a unique prehistoric version of myself. There has been some representation of a jungle version of me, and we will be seeing jungle Erika more in the future. However, this iteration is something uniquely for Keeper and I. We haven't done much with her as of the writing of this post, but Prehistoric Erika is an OC of ours where Erika lives out her days in the Mesozoic era! Who knows what kind of wacky adventures she will find? Most of the pictures we have so far are her interactions with dinosaurs, but perhaps there are some unknown hypnotic creatures lurking in the Mesozoic period? Who knows!? Only time will tell...

You Can Never Go Wrong With Tentacles... Again!

Do you ever think that sometimes tentacles are overused? Of course you don't! For that would be a silly thing to say. But for real though, when I was coming up with the title for this post, I was in my usual rut. When I looked back on the previous post on this blog from the artist P.Chronos however, I realized that it was also about hypno tentacles. Thus, using this name felt appropriate I'd say! And to be honest, both this picture and the previous one both have similar origins. 

 

If you don't recall, P.Chronos is a fantastic and friendly guy, but I actually don't really have his contact information nor do we really talk privately all too much. I ended up getting into contact with P.Chronos through us both mutually watching Penken's art streams. And just like last time, after chatting for a bit while we mutually enjoyed Penken's art, P.Chronos surprised me with yet another hypnosis picture featuring myself and tentacles! But luckily... You can never go wrong with tentacles! Haha!

This time though, rather than having the tentacles with eye stalks and Kaa eyes emanating from them as per the norm we have something a tad different. These tentacles are rather phallic shaped in nature BUT they also so seem to have a very enticing hypnotic glow to them. From the picture it seems that they really do catch your gaze as I'm too dazed to even notice how much I'm drooling, or the the other tentacles that have already coiled around me. Makes me wonder if the tentacles already made me strip, or was I just always naked as I waded through the sea of dick tentacles?

Real talk though, hypnotic penises are actually one of my all time top favorite lesser used induction methods. We haven't seen it so much on this blog as of right now, but there will be some showing up later. So I guess you could say this is the closest we've got so far of hypnotic dicks? Either way though, I'm a big fan! Mixing tentacles and hypnotic dicks is definitely something I'd expect from the genius of P.Chronos. And on that topic, I should also comment on the great zonked out expression we have here. With a slight open mouth and tongue with some drool? They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and with a face like that, Erika is practically screaming what she wants. Though in a muted and sort of hypnotized kind of way.

 

I can't possibly thank P.Chronos enough for this amazing piece... and that's not even the end of it, as we will be seeing him a few more times on this blog! So get excited~

Drawing a Blank.

Greetings all! We're back this week with not only another Erika picture (of course) but also another Kaa picture! It may or may not have been awhile since we've seen the classic snake on this blog. But you know that wherever I am, he'll probably be around sooner or later. As one of my main founding interests in hypnosis I can't not have a Kaa picture, or at the very least, some kind of hypnosis snake show up every once in awhile And this rendition of Kaa and myself was done none other than Penken himself. Another veteran hypnosis artist who had also shown up earlier in this blog.

For this particular entry though, I'd first like to talk about the title. Yes, the thing that I usually avoid for the most part. You see, I find this title to be very fitting. It has the word "drawing" in it, as we are talking about a literal drawing. It also is a reference to how someone could have a blank mind when hypnotized, as we can see that I have one here in this picture! ... but most importantly it also accurately describes my memory of this commission! Haha...

You see, while I do pride myself in my memory I can't say that it's perfect. If there are things I don't remember about certain images when I'm posting them here, I bring up the original on either Deviant Art or Hypno Hub and reference the comments to see if there is any other kind of fun facts or trivia I can rouse up from the picture, or perhaps something that can jog my memory. For this picture however, I definitely remember it existing BUT I actually don't remember commissioning this. In fact, the only reason I know I did is because of the comment Penken left on the drawing saying "Just a commission from erika made a while back I finally finished" If I hadn't read that, I would've wrote that this was a gift.

So I'm sorry to say, that this post may be lacking in fun bits of trivia this time around. Based on this picture, I can see how I might've come up with this idea. I do love myself hypnotized of course, Kaa is always a plus, and crotch rub plus spread legs are two things I absolutely love to see in kinkier pictures as well. HOWEVER those who know me, or read this blog frequently know that I also don't really come up with a lot of ideas on my own for commissions. Instead I end up collabing with the artist since I'm mostly satisfied with anything as long as it has me hypnotized in it. So I can totally also see this being Penken's idea, and it ends up going either way!

As for the picture itself, the chin hold is very cute, and quite underutilized. And the expression nails a solid completely zonked out but yet still enjoying the blissful colors of Kaa's spiral reflected in my eyes and mind. Clearly there are no other thoughts going in there. If I were to be a tad critical though, I do think that the perspective is a bit harsh on the left side of the picture. It's meant to be further away but the arm and boob side on the left side (Erika's right side) does end up shrinking a tad too much to the point of being uncanny. Assuming I did commission this, I probably didn't comment on it because this might've been a very cheap and quick commission. But if that's the case, then I'd say it's definitely a solid one for being one of Penken's old quick commissions! And a fine piece to add to the ever growing Erika collection.
