Vampire Ladies: The Sequel.

Hello all! I know a few posts ago I said we may be seeing an update on this series soon... but who would've thought it was about one post apart? Not unlike the Hypno Raptor series, Zorro once again does not disappoint with the sheer amount of speed that he can produce awesome hypnosis pieces! And with that, we have the second iteration of myself and some gothic vampire lolitas. I hope you aren't tired of them yet, because this was the phase where I was commissioning them a lot! And we'll definitely be seeing more.

Though despite Zorro's speed at producing pictures, I do recall him mentioning that he was having a lot of anatomy and posing problems with this piece. He expressed that he wanted to try more dynamic poses in this picture, and he also felt like he wasn't quite satisfied with the final result. There's definitely no perfect picture out there and there can always be improvement, but honestly, I don't think this picture is all that bad in terms of anatomy and the like!
 
Once again, I had no say in the contents of the picture and it was something that Zorro came up with on his own. I mention that specifically because in this picture, it seems as if I've been turned into a vampire in between this piece and the first one. For the record, even though I really do like vampires, I've never actually found the concept of being turned INTO a vampire to be super attractive. I'm not against it at all, but I find just the concept of vampires (and especially loli vampires) attractive. Not necessarily the part of becoming an undead myself you know?

That, and I'm also a stickler when it comes to lore. I've mentioned before, I try to keep the characters in my pictures to be as consistent as possible with their source material. While both Shalltear and Rachel can both canonically hypnotize, neither one are too well known for turning others into vampires. Rachel more or less swore to never do it, and has only turned one person in her lore. Shalltear, however, is definitely more likely to do so, but probably only under the command of her lord. Though since Shalltear would probably be able to, I'm not too frazzled by the whole thing. And there's your mini lore lecture from me I suppose!

But yes, yet another picture of the loli vampire duo. Definitely not the first, and absolutely not the last. And much like the previous time, we may or may not be seeing a sequel to this piece in the near future. Probably more of a wait than this time though. That being said, there are probably going to be a lot more of this duo in the near future not by Zorro though. Just saying.

Fusion Confusion.

Greetings all! I uhh... Don't really know how to really get into this one to be honest! It's arguably not even an Erika picture... but it also kind of is? Well, either way, let's talk about it shall we?
 
For those of you familiar with Zko's works, chances are you've seen a fan favorite character Mrs. Erickson. She's the busty dommy teacher from Skypenotized and other various lewd works around. She's also been featured in this blog at one point as well. Fun fact, the reason her name is "Mrs. Erickson" is because it's a reference to Dr. Milton Erickson who is considered the father of hypnotherapy. That, and of course the Ericksonian hypnosis technique he founded.

Another fun fact for you guys is... My name is Erika. Spooky, I know. Did you know that "Erika" and "Erickson" sound rather similar? I certainly realized it at least! And... that's literally the back story for this picture! One day I was just having a casual conversation with Zko, and I mentioned that Erickson and Erika sounded similar. "What about a Mrs. Erikason!? The ultimate hypnosis dom and sub!" I said. And then Zko just randomly drew up this sketch on the spot.

For those of you who actually talk to me, you'd know that I tend to randomly like combining words that actually fit with each other. Or at the very least, I like to mix certain words with my name. Not unlike the "Yanderika" post from awhile back! So this was definitely not an unusual scenario, but I didn't expect the random spur of the moment joke to turn into a character or a drawing. Then again, the same thing happened with Yanderika... I swear, this isn't a common thing though!

And speaking of uncommon, this is the first and the last we'll see of Mrs. Erikason unfortunately. This was 100% just a joke post and nothing ever really came from her... at least at the time of writing this blog post. But honestly, writing this post kind of made me feel nostalgic so maybe we could find some place for her somewhere? Even as a cameo? Who knows! Only time will tell...

Vampire Ladies.

Hello again! This week we're back with the start of a series that I never actually expected to be a series... The Vampire Ladies! Not unlike last time, Zorro has once again not only surprised me with this picture, but also managed to turn it into something so much more. Though I suppose I'm getting a bit ahead of myself there. For now, let's focus on this entry here.

I mentioned a few posts ago that I'm a huge fan of vampires (and lolis) so naturally, I'd become a huge fan of Rachel Alucard from Blazblue. We've of course seen her a few times on this blog already, but now we have a new comer! The other vampire goth loli featured in this picture is Shalltear Bloodfallen from the series Overlord. Around November of 2015, I had watched Overlord for the first time and it really struck a chord with me. I instantly fell in love with the series, and with Shalltear specifically. Heck, she even had a canonical hypnosis scene in the anime! I had to get a picture with her at some point...

And with that being said, sometime between finishing the anime back in 2015, and this picture being created (which was in February 2016) I must've definitely mentioned this to Zorro. To be perfectly honest, I don't actually remember how this specific piece came to be, but if I'm to trust my memory here... I recall him asking if I wanted another picture at some point. And well, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to mention my growing interest in vampire goth lolis!
 
As continuous readers of the blog know, I've never been the best when it comes to making specific ideas. So because of that, I didn't mention WHAT I wanted to do with the characters, and just that I wanted to be in a picture with them. So Zorro ended up coming up with the idea of having the two of them surrounding and hypnotizing me, plus a little bit of stripping for good measure! I do think Shalltear's face is a bit off in this picture, but either way, I was still super happy with the end result.
 
 Honestly, I'd already have been satisfied with this because it perfectly scratched my itch for what I was looking for. However as stated earlier, this picture would follow the same path as the Hypno Raptor in which this kind of evolved into a series too! So we can go more into that in future posts. Probably sooner than you'd think!

Hypno Team Issue 2: The Wake-up Call!

Hello everyone! Oh man, we are certainly late with today's blog post. For those of you interested, the release of a highly anticipated game hit in early July and I took a break from EVERYTHING to play as much of it as possible. Unfortunately, that means a lot of things in my life were put on hold, blog posts included! With that bit of context out of the way, let's officially start the post!

And what a post it is! This week's post is the second edition of the legendary team of girls who have the super power of being incredibly suggestible to hypnosis! That's right, it's The Hypno Team! Once again, the comic is done by the incredible artist, and good friend of mine Psi. Unlike issue one, which was an introduction to the team itself... it seems like issue two has it's own plot. Awake-san is up to no good, as she seems to be trying to wake up the whole town from their nice and relaxing trance! ... Wait a second.

All jokes aside, I have to give props to Psi once again here for making not only a really good (fake) comic cover, but also throwing a pretty funny joke as well. Though I think it might be spoiling the plot of the issue itself, assuming that was the plot twist. To be honest though, there isn't actually a lot for me to say here that hasn't already been said in the first issue. Such as Psi doing a great job managing to mimic that old timey look for comics, down to the grainy filter on the piece. I do approve of me being the one with the hypno ray, ready to re-induct the traitor!

I can say though, I bet a fair bit of people didn't think there'd be a second issue of a one-off joke that Psi made from checking who the most popular OC's were on Hypno Hub at the time. But well, here it is! There may or may not be more issues somewhere along the way as well, so keep your eyes peeled.
 
I would like to give a special shout out to Awake-san however. I think this is the first time she's showed up on the blog after all. Awake-san is the anti Hypno-tan essentially. Someone who hates sleep, and always strives to be awake! She's an original character developed by Keeper of Pots, EdgeOTM, and Psi. She's mostly used as a joke character, but she's also someone who we may or may not being seeing more at some point or anther.

Fight on, Hypno Team!
