Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! Or at least it's Halloween at the time of posting this blog entry. Following the trend of the last update, we have the pairing of myself and Rachel Alucard from Blazblue once again! And also once again, the picture was commissioned by none other than Roxa. However, this time the piece was done by the ever amazing Keeper of Pots.

 

I mentioned just now that Roxa was the one who commissioned this piece, but in actuality I was the one who came up with the idea. Roxa and I collabed in the fact that we both wanted another piece of Rachel x Erika, but Roxa left the planning in my hands. It also just so happened at around this time I had a slot available for a Keeper of Pots commission. I remembered that the thing that initially drew me in to Keeper's artwork was his amazing background work. A lot of times in hypnosis pictures the characters are the focus and the background is less than an afterthought. Of course that isn't a bad thing per se, but since we were going for a Rachel themed picture, this gave me some inspiration to also include her garden. An iconic location in Blazblue.

 

And in the picture itself, we have Rachel hypnotizing me with a more traditional means of hypnosis, as opposed to her magical abilities in the previous entry. Admittedly that directly contradicts what I mentioned in my last post about "keeping things as close to canon as possible" but this is one of the two times off the top of my head that this every happens. (Coincidentally the other time this happens is also related to Keeper of Pots, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.) And even if it's not totally in character, we can't deny how great the end result is!

 

Of course the full on slave-like nudity from me in my hypnotized stupor is great, and Rachel's affectionate yet domineering expression is wonderfully rendered to show her personality here... but honestly I gotta give the props to the background. As I stated earlier, I initially wanted to go with Keeper of Pots for this piece precisely BECAUSE of his fantastic background work and he did NOT disappoint here. This picture stands out as one of my favorite Keeper of Pots pieces because of how amazingly well everything ended up looking.

 

Little known fact though, this picture actually game with a major glitch on release. If you're wondering why Rachel's legs feel a bit off, that's because originally her legs were crossed. Crossed legs are a great sign of dominance or confidence if you ask me, and perfect for this picture. However, a certain detail both slipped Keeper and myself. In the final version, Rachel actually ended up having backwards feet. A mistake I've seen happen fairly commonly since then... I suppose it's easy to get which foot is where if they are crossed like that. After an emergency edit, we ended up with the final version here. Luckily the anatomy problems were fixed, but the compromise was the awkward looking legs. 

 

And finally as a bit of an extra note, normally I reserve my blog post updates to Sundays. However this one is a bit special. Not only is Halloween my favorite holiday, but the next post in line just HAPPENED to coincide with being another Rachel piece. Rachel's canonical birthday is on October 31st, and heck, the stage this picture is set in is called "Moonlight Castle -Halloween-" so it'd be a crime to NOT post this today.

The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship.

Hoo boy, here we have a picture that covers many "firsts" for Erika pieces, so we're gonna be in for a long blog post today! For example, this is the first time I've been paired with a character from an established franchise, the first time I had any kind of sexual interaction with another female, and the first time I have been paired with a loli. There might be even more that I'm missing, but even so, this picture was definitely a pioneer in terms of Erika pictures, and actually is still one of my all time favorite pieces. So a big thanks for Roxa for commissioning this wonderful picture!

A bit of back story though, the character featured in this picture is Rachel Alucard from the Blazblue series. Blazblue is probably one of my all time favorite games, and while I don't actually play Rachel, she's probably my favorite character in the game. Around this time I had actually convinced Roxa to play the game somehow. While the games are fighting games at their core, the Blazblue series has a pretty solid story and characters (or awful and convoluted depending on who you ask) and that was enough to get Roxa to keep playing them. And with Roxa fully invested, he naturally gained a few waifus from the series, and also was inspired to work on the first yuri Erika picture.

Roxa had contacted me about the idea and I was absolutely ecstatic to hear. Not only was this a first for many Erika pictures, but I was also happy to hear that he had gotten invested in the series I love. Despite me being friends with a fair bit of artists at this point, I couldn't really discuss or play Blazblue with any of my new hypno friends. Something that still holds true to this day unfortunately... With that all set up though, Roxa went to go contact an artist for the idea. The artist chosen was... Well to be honest, I have no idea what to call them. The artist in particular has gone through many different names over the years with a few of them being: Evenytron, Vincios, and Pedrovin. For consistencies sake, I'll go with "Vincios" as that was the name the artist went by at the time of this commission.

As far as the commissioning process went, I couldn't really say how it went as again, Roxa was the one to commission this picture. That being said, I did get constant updates from him along the way and the picture arrived in a timely manner, so I don't think there were any issues there. As for the picture itself... well as I said I earlier, this is one of my all time favorite Erika pictures to this day. I'm a big fan of Rachel obviously, the character expressions on both myself and Rachel are top notch, the close eye to eye hypnotic induction is a big yes from me, the picture has that rare blend of being cute yet also sexy, and of course we have actual lewdness involved. All while the characters are more or less in canon.

See, this isn't a topic I've had a chance to bring up in my blog posts yet as this is the fist time I've been paired with an established character. From this point on moving forward, we'll be seeing more of them. So with that being said, I'd like to take the time to mention that when using copyrighted characters, I absolutely do my best to keep them as close to canon in terms of abilities and personality as possible. Obviously some liberties are taken, as it wouldn't be in character for Rachel to engage in something sexual like this, but in terms of dialogue, costume, and even hypnotic abilities, everything else is in order! And that's something I'll strive for in future Erika x <insert established character here> pictures.

This post has been rather long already but I have just a bit more to squeeze in. Despite being one of my all time favorite pictures, this picture has also been a headache for me. At the time of it's release, there were no problems and I loved it. As time went on though, the artist of many names Vincios no longer wanted their art on the Hub. Thus, this picture was one of the first times I felt hurt by the DNP list. This picture was purged from the Hub because of that. Vincios has an on again off again relation with the Hub so this picture was always hovering around in limbo. The final nail in the coffin though was when the Hub banned loli. So you could say that this picture is double banned from the Hub, and due to the stress of having one of my favorite pictures constantly tampered with, was one of the reasons I decided to start this blog in the first place. 

 

On that topic, on the future there will be more loli based pictures. Some of Rachel, and some of others. I do happen to be a fan of lolis and since the Hub is not a place to share them anymore, they will be going on here. Apologies if that isn't your thing, but since it is mine I ask that you respect that.

Tentacoli Invasion.

"An old piece from the Tentacoli days!  Erika and parasites are quite a rare combo ♡"
- Psi

 

Greetings once again! This week, we have a fun little comic draw by the always amazing Psi. As we can see, the comic is short but to the point while also having that nice bit of humor in there. This piece, like a lot of Psi's drawings of me, was a complete surprise. I never asked, nor expected anything like this. It just kind of showed up one day, and even now I'm still grateful as the picture has that nice mix of cute, lewd, and funny!

 

As Psi is actually a very good friend of mine, and I'm still in contact with him I asked Psi if he had any comments about this piece. He had this to say:

"it's pretty awesome to draw actual girls as subs. The fact a girl contributes giving ideas or even just the request to be drawn in smut makes it all the hotter, and can really inspire one artist. With Erika it's really fun to explore different kinks and creative kinds of hypnosis!"

 

 As for the actual piece itself, it has me masturbating thinking of Kaa in a public restroom, only to be ambushed by an OC of Psi's named Betty. She was from an old hypno art series that Psi had worked on back in the day called "Tentacoli" in which a tentacle parasite-like being infiltrates and corrupts a family after Betty brings it home after a trip. Unfortunately the project was never finished, but I'm still happy to have been included in this spin off comic.

After being interrupted from pleasurable Erika time, you'd think this is where someone would scream or freak out, but not me apparently! I guess I was just so horny that I'd take the suspicious alien parasite and stick in there. Hey, sometimes a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do! So whether it be Kaa fantasies, or erotic alien parasites, I guess it's safe to say that I'm probably down for it! And I'd say that Psi knows me well enough to completely nail that aspect of my personality in this picture.

This is a piece I always look back fondly on because in a lot of Erika based pictures, I don't really have a "personality" per se. Being hypnotized and used as a slave or something else tends to erase that aspect of you. So having a picture where I'm making a conscious decision and showing off likes and dislikes was a rarity in this time period of Erika artwork.

Yet Again.

Greetings once again! We're back again this week with a piece that's aptly fitting for the title. And funnily enough, the title isn't something I came up with for this piece. It's actually something the original artist Jockbock came up with. Unfortunately, the original piece no longer exists, as the artist has long since closed their Deviant Art account, but much like the previous entry on the blog, the link was saved as a source on Hypno Hub, thus I'm able to pull the title from there.

This is a picture I personally commissioned from Jockbock... However I'm not going to beat around the bush this time. With my blog entries, I've done my best to be positive with the pieces I've submitted here. Despite every artist having their own style, and every piece being of different quality, I can say that I love them all for different reasons. So with a heavy heart, I can say that this piece would probably be the first one that I have negative impression of.

I first encountered the artist Jockbock on Deviant Art. While searching through snake related hypno art, I came across their page. While primarily a furry artist, they had some human x snake drawings. And the stuff that I saw were actually pretty darn cute! So naturally I decided to commission them ASAP. But wait! For those of you have been reading my blog from the start, you might have noticed something. Specifically the part about me saying "While I was searching through snake related hypno art" part.

You see, at this point in my hypno picture commissioning career I hadn't actually been doing that as much anymore. I actually encountered Jockbock very early on in my hypnosis commissioning days. The thing is, they took a very long time to get to my commission. I'm sure a lot of people have who commission artists a lot have experienced something similar, if not worse. This was the first time for me though, as I hadn't heard any news from the artist for around seven or so months.

Eventually it got to the point where I had to bug them about the commission myself. Perhaps it's something I should've done sooner, but I've never had to personally hound an artist for an already paid for commission. And I know that no one really likes to be bugged about it. So I was rather hesitant to do so... until I finally gave up and did. Turns out that they forgot about my commission entirely! And when they started working on it, I was so flabbergasted honestly.

In the end I received this piece we see here. In my opinion, definitely many steps below in terms of quality compared to their previous pieces. I thought so immediately after seeing it. However, I was too annoyed to even say anything. Usually I'm actually quite the stickler and rather picky when it comes to commissions, but for this one, I just wanted the exchange to be over honestly. So I took what I got and never spoke to them again. So in the end we have this Kaa x Erika picture which looks like a piece of modern art and not in the good way.

Honestly, it pains me to write a mostly negative blog entry this time around, but it's not all sunshine and rainbows. This blog was primarily a way to store the Erika related art without fear of anyone taking it down, and the recaps I write are just a nice bonus. Not every picture has a nice story to it, and this certainly won't be the last one. It's a shame that it was the first though! But hey, at least there aren't too many of them, as being a part of the hypno art commissioning team for the past few years has mostly been a blessing!

Erika And The Coin.

 Hello once again! This week, we have a simple yet effective picture. A scene you've probably seen before a million times, but yet is always a classic if you are a consumer of hypnosis art work! The classic piece of someone being helpless enthralled by a hypnotic pendulum of some sort that is. But wait! The title says "Erika And The Coin" but that's clearly not a coin, so what gives? If that's what you're asking, then my answer to you is... honestly I got nothing haha.

 

To elaborate, this picture was drawn by Mattro4000 aka MattXenotron. We met many years ago back on Deviant Art, where MattXenotron started talking me through DMs. Most of the time it was just casual conversation, as back then I'd hold a lot of conversations with people who decided to message me. One day however, the topic of drawing me came up out of the blue. To be honest, I never once thought that MattXenotron would be interested in drawing me. And perhaps it was wrong of me to not even check their Deviant Art page, despite us talking for awhile... but it seems they were an artist themselves.

A lot of their work were mostly foot fetish based material, with some light hypnosis scattered around here and there. Admittedly at the time, my interest in feet was actually still light, but it was still something I'd like. And of course, I gladly accepted his offer to draw me. I didn't really offer any sort of suggestion or idea, I was just happy to hear they were interested in doing something for me. And with that confirmation, production began on this piece. The end result of course being what we see here.

As mentioned, we have the classic hypnosis scenario. But true to the artist's roots, I'm being depicted as barefoot in this picture. The pose is rather interesting as well, because it's the kind of pose someone would make when lounging about, but not necessarily while relaxing and preparing for a hypnosis session. So what this says to me is that in this scenario I was just minding my own business, when someone dropped the hypnotic "coin" in front of me and it immediately hypnotized me. Leaving me spiral eyed and drooling, but still holding the pose I was prior to being hypnotized. A fun scenario to imagine indeed!

Unfortunately, at the time of writing this message Mattro4000 aka MattXenotron no longer is active on Deviant Art. At some point they had decided to leave the platform and delete their account as well. The original of this piece was lost, but luckily it was already uploaded to Hypno Hub, and I had it saved as well. And of course, now it's here! However, on the original Hypno Hub post, I did link the source on this post to the original Deviant Art version. And while it no longer exists, the link title does. And because of that, I was able to see what the title of this post was on Deviant Art... that being "Erika And The Coin".

 

So with that being said, MattXenotron came up with the title not me! It's clearly not a coin, but hey if the artist says it is, then who am I to refute it? Besides, I think it's pretty funny in the end. If you ever see this post MattXenotron, thanks again for making this piece!

The Right Hairdo.

Greetings all! This week we have another new picture, however it may or may not look familiar to some of you. Well by "familiar" I mean same artist, same scenario, same sketch-like format. That's right, I'm referring to a post that was actually very recent on this blog! If you're curious, please click here for a reference to said post. In that post, I talked about how I'd make note of the incorrect hairstyle, and do my best to fix it correct? Well here we are!

Turns out, RoC was still having sketch commissions available at the time. As soon as I saw Roxa's commission using me, I had to get one as well. And what better way to honor Roxa's commission than to make a sequel! For all intents and purposes, you could call this picture a sequel of the previous one at least. Though this time we have a far more accurate hair style, because I'm actually rather proud of my hair style, and RoC is one of the few artists who usually nail it perfectly. Though because of the hair change, maybe it's not a perfect sequel after all...?

Regardless, in the image we have myself coiled by Kaa, hypnotized out of my mind, and receiving the snake cock! Or actually, it'd be two. Fun fact, we are around seventy posts now on the blog and this is the SECOND time explicit sex has been shown, and the FIRST time it has been bestiality. Well, unless you count amorphous alien tentacles as animals that is. With how much we've seen of Kaa and myself on this blog, I'm surprised it took this long to have it though.

This intimate encounter was more or less inspired by RoC's on doujin of Monica Raybrandt from Dark Cloud meeting Kaa, and subsequently being hypnotized and sexed. That doujin was actually one of my favorite hypnosis based media from way before I started commissioning myself, so now that I had the opportunity, I just HAD to get something that directly referenced it! So with that being said, I pretty much nailed everything I'd like to see in a Kaa picture. Coiling, eye to eye contact and hypnosis, a bit of a nipple slip, coils going in between the legs while also having penetration? Check, check, check!

Honestly though, not much of a thought process went into designing this commission though. This is one of the few times I knew exactly what I wanted, and the artist was able to pull it off flawlessly. I DID have to emphasize the hair though, as last time it was a bit off. Besides that though, everything was smooth and the end result was great! Actually, looking back on this image after all these years makes me feel like it's aged really well. To this day, I still love this image a lot and I think my appreciation of it has grown far more since initially commissioning it. Now if only I could find a way to get it colored somehow...
