Who's that Pokemon!?

Hello again! We're back this week with another Erika hypnosis picture. And in this picture, we have something rather straightforward, yet a classic. That being Hypno x hypnotized random girl. Drawn by the always amazing Etlabsotwe whom we've seen a few times on this blog already.
 
A rather iconic character, but for those of you who don't know, the small yellow man is named Hypno and he's a Pokemon. And as far as Pokemon lewds go, Gardevoir and Lopunny usually take the top spot in terms of female Pokemon art, however Hypno is amongst the highest in terms of male represented Pokemon. Rather than design choice though, I figure a lot of people like him because of his simplistic and easy to draw design that's moderately humanoid, and of course the ability to hypnotize people and Pokemon effortlessly. That can lead to all sorts of lewd fun.

I'm actually a Pokemon fan myself, though not as much as I used to be... admittedly though, I did enjoy Pokemon Scarlet and Violet which were the newest games released at the time of writing this blog. Getting back on topic though, I've always been a Pokemon fan. And actually, the very first ever hypnosis based explicit picture I saw was one with Hypno in it. It never really occurred to me to use Hypno the Pokemon like that, which goes to show how young I was at the time when I saw said picture.

With that being said, I wanted to get a Hypno based picture on my own. On top of him being a sort of icon as far as Hypno doms go in Pokemon, as well as generally speaking, he was also one of my original inspirations for getting into hypnosis based lewd artwork. And by now, we were about ninety pictures into the Erika collection, so I figured it was high time we got something with Hypno in it! And luckily, Etlabsotwe was happy to oblige.

At the time, Etlabsotwe wanted to draw constantly in order to improve, and would frequently take suggestions from me. The topic wasn't too important (though Etlabsotwe would draw a line when it came to lewds) as long as he got to practice. So the timing happened to line up, as I was in the mood for some Hypno related works. One of the rare few times I had at least some kind of motivation for a picture I suppose!

To be honest, that's really all their is to the story though. I suggested it, and Etlabsotwe delivered. As mentioned above, he was against lewds at the time though. So the picture is rather tame as far as Hypno pictures go. Trust me, if you look up Hypno hypnosis based pictures, I'd bet that 9/10 of them would be lewds. Regardless though, I'm still satisfied with this picture as it carries the Etlabsotwe charm of just making everything cute. Even Hypno, whom a lot of people find repulsive. And you can never EVER go wrong with a mindless and blissful smile on a sub, which is nailed perfectly here.

Purple Tentacles Again!

Hello again! This week we have a very straightforward commission, it has me being hypnotized by hypnotentacles! I think this has happened multiple times on the blog already, and it will continue to happen in the future, as this is probably one of my favorite combination of things in a fetish picture. Sometimes you just get in the mood for tentacles you know? And of course the hypnosis part is more or less a must! The difference here though, is this piece is was done by Sugar-Slime who is new to this blog!

Honestly though, there isn't too much to say here as far as back story goes. One day while browsing Hypno Hub I saw an image dump of about three to four pictures from an artist I'd never seen before. They were pictures of an OC being hypnotized by tentacles. I was quite a fan of the art style, and I was still looking for commissions. Naturally I tracked them down to Deviant Art and asked for a commission of my own! ... And well, here we are!

I knew what I wanted more or less since the artist had already drawn a lot of hypnotentacles, I figured I'd go with that. The pose and tentacles were all chosen by the artist though, as I once again went with my patented "As long as it has me hypnotized in it, I'm fine with whatever!" but this time with tentacles as a must have I suppose. It was an interesting choice to go with purple though, as the tentacles the artist had drawn previously were green. I tend to have encounters with purple tentacles more so than any other color, so I wonder if the artist looked that up...?

Anyways, the commission was delivered in a timely manner and since I didn't really have any concrete ideas as to what I wanted, I had no corrections to make. Everything looked fine anyways! There are a few points to mention though, this was the first time I had seen the artist drawn a bare crotch though, as previously their pictures had only topless girls. Also it's an interesting note that the artist opts to draw the Kaa-like eyes in a symmetrical pattern. I've stated before on the blog that I prefer the asymmetrical ones, but this commission was done at a time before I realized that about myself.

Finally, another point to note is the artist added a coil around the neck. It's not the biggest deal breaker in the world, but I'm very much not a fan of stuff like that. Which is funny considering I love snake and tentacle related hentai! But despite some of the stipulations I've left, I still enjoy this commission very much! Though funnily enough, a good friend of mine Keeper of Pots felt as though there was something off about it. And he would do something about it in the near future...

Wheel of Hypno.

Greetings everyone! This week we have a rather stand out picture for numerous reasons. First off, this picture is the debut of a new artist to be featured on the blog! That being the artist known as Ara. Secondly, this picture, at the time of this current blog entry at least, has the most OC cameos in it. With a total four to be exact! Not counting myself of course. And finally, this picture is actually somewhat rare. Though now that I think about it, is rare even the right word to use though...? Allow me to explain.

This picture was actually one of the first few pictures to be purged from Hypno Hub. It was removed because the artist Ara no longer wanted to be associated with the Hub and thus all their work was removed along with them. I luckily managed to hold onto this picture before that happened though, and thus I can archive it here. Since this picture was removed fairly early on, I suspect a lot of people might not have seen this, because to my knowledge, this hasn't been uploaded anywhere else.

But on the topic of the picture itself, it's a rather fun idea! A parody on the game show "Wheel of Fortune" where you have to spin said wheel, and also guess the phrase by suggesting individual letters. I'm probably butchering the game itself, but I never actually watched the series. I AM familiar with it however, so the reference isn't lost on me at least! And throwing in a hypnotic twist on everyday normal events makes things more fun in my opinion.
 
Though I couldn't really tell you why this picture exists. I never had a chance to talk to Ara to ask why I was chosen to cameo here, or as to what inspirations created this lovely piece. On top of that, since I don't think this picture was reuploaded anywhere else, I can't bring up any comments or artist descriptions explaining the scenario to me. So alas, we just have to take it at face value!
 
Another thing to shout out though are the cameos mentioned earlier. Of course I'm here, but we also have Kassidy and Sierra (the blue and the orange alien girls) from Medri. There's also Betty (the orange haired contestant) from Psi. And I may be wrong here, but the lamia character I believe was named Aurora and belonged to an artist named Jack. That one I'm somewhat unsure of because I was never in contact with the artist, and they also distanced themselves from the Hub. So feel free to leave a comment and correct me if I got that wrong. Funnily enough Kassidy and Betty have already been featured on this blog beforehand as well.

Apologies for the lack of specifics here, this picture has and will probably continue to be an enigma for me. But even so, I still think the idea is rather amusing and I'm glad I was chosen to be apart of it.

Weird Science.

Greetings once again! This week we're back with another Zorro picture, but this time we have 100% less dinosaurs. Instead, we have a theme that's actually rather rare in terms of Erika related pictures. Actually rather than one theme, this picture has a lot of things you won't be seeing too often in this blog. But why is this picture so "unique" in that regard you might ask? Well to frank, I actually had nothing to do with this.

Before we get to that though, I should go over what makes this picture so different. I'm actually not the biggest fan of white wash eyes for one. Nor am I a fan of brain/mind transfers, or even robots. Everything about this picture isn't something that I would personally go for, yet I am still happy it exists. Why is that you might ask? Actually it turns out, the whole idea around this picture was a request from someone whom I've never spoken to then, nor now. Weird how that works out right? Well, that's not quite the full story.

To be specific, while the base idea was a request to Zorro from someone else, the actual person meant to be featured in this picture wasn't specified. To my understanding, the requester had a base idea in mind but was just going to go with a generic female. (Actually now that I think about it, that's the complete opposite of my problem where I know I want a hypnotized Erika in it, but not what the idea itself should be...) And since no central figure was chosen for the picture, Zorro "volunteered" my self insert for the job! I suppose he had a lot of fun drawing me at the time, and I could definitely be on board with that!

So yeah, this picture was just as random for me as it was for most other people seeing this. As I mentioned above, this picture doesn't actually do much for me in terms of fetishes, so anyone who knew me would've been surprised to see me featured in such a piece. But even if that's the case, I'm still happy that it exists because it goes to show that at the time, Zorro was thinking about me. And he liked me enough to include me in a picture I had no business in being a part of. And while these kinks aren't my thing, I don't find them to be offensive at all. So hey, I was happy about it then and thinking back on it, I'm happy about it now!
 
As a bonus bit, there is a bit of flavor text that goes along with this scenario featured in the description of the original post. It also has a slight continuity nod to the Hypnoraptor series, so if you're interested in reading it please refer to the original post linked here.

Demons Taking Control.

Hello once again! This week we have a rather enigmatic picture if I do say so myself. I say that because this picture not only blindsided me when it came out all those years ago, but to be frank, I don't know how this exact scenario featured in this picture came to be. Because of that, this blog post in particular may be a bit lacking in terms of details but I'll try my best!
 
To go into specifics, this picture was done by the artist mixx54 who was previously featured in an earlier post on this very blog. In case you missed it though, you can find the post by clicking here. I'd like to call back to that previous post specifically for this one as well. For you see, the backstory behind this particular picture was apparently the artist wasn't too satisfied with the initial drawing he did for me back then. Apparently the artist was just getting used to a new tablet, and it was a rather quick sketch either way.

So with that being said, one day I woke up and checked the Hub only to see this uploaded. Naturally I was rather surprised to see this piece considering I had no knowledge of it prior to this! The picture wasn't even uploaded by the original artist, so I had no real info to go by. Eventually though, the artist did leave a comment on the picture and said:

"lololololololol erikka requested this pic a while when i just started using a tablet and it turned out total shit so i redrew it here... thanks for postin mah stuff btw XD glad you all like it"
 
And that's all the info I have about this piece! It does bring up a certain question though. According to the quote above, this picture is a redraw/remake of the previous image mixx54 had done for me... yet the only resemblance I see is that it has me hypnotized in it. Does that count as a remake then? Who knows!

On the topic of hypnotized pictures of me though, this is definitely a solid one though. It's absolutely a step up from the previous drawing from mixx54 in almost every regard. Definitely really liking how the textures and curves of the picture really make me look squishy. Plus you always gotta appreciate a pair of good thighs! I'm not familiar with the demon lady who is sharing the spotlight with me here, and can only assume she is an OC of mixx54.

The title of this piece comes from the original upload of the picture from Furaffinity, which was then noticed by someone and uploaded onto the Hub where I saw it.

Hypnotic Pajama Party ft. Pompom

Hello all! We're back once again with another new Erika hypnosis piece. This time however, it's not just me who is hypnotized. Rather, I'm sharing the spotlight today with another self insert character, the self representation of Pompom! You might remember the name Pompom from about three posts ago, as she was the one who helped animate "Erika in Hypnoland." This time, she is a "willing" participant in the picture hehe. The art has been done by returning artist EdgeoftheMoon as well, so we're seeing quite a few familiar faces!

And speaking of Edge, as a good friend of mine, I managed to snag some comments from him about this piece. He had this to say:

"In the sitcom Community the character Troy Barnes says ""I’m more turned on by women in pajamas than lingerie. I just want to know that they feel comfortable"" and I agree. This was me trying to show that
Also a chance for me to draw the OCs of 2 of my friends. Eri and PomPom. Couple of injokes in pic as well. One of the posters is a joke label I made for PomPom's home brewed beer. And of course Eri's PJs are a nod to her love of dinosaurs"
 
 As someone who wears pajamas (and I may or may not be writing this exact blog entry out in pajamas...) I can definitely agree that they are absolutely comfortable! I love being able to relax at home, and what better way to relax than to also have some mind melting hypnotic tunes playing? This appears to be one of the very few consensual Erika hypnosis pieces out there. For those of you who don't know, I actually much prefer non-con when it comes to hypnosis! ... Well at least in the fantasy and drawing aspect of it at least.

That being said, I suppose you could twist this into a non-con scenario too. Perhaps Edge sent Pompom and I a cool song to listen to, and that "cool song" was actually music to melt your mind! I say the music was supplied by Edge because if you look closely at the music player, you can see Edge's classic logo on there. Meaning he was surely behind this scenario both in terms of the artist and in terms of the actual setting playing out.

Something I've been avoiding mentioning though is the history behind this piece. Unfortunately I don't actually know how or why this picture came to be. Even though I had asked Edge for a comment, he never mentioned anything about the history. I can only assume it was just a nice gift he made for the two of us. And in that regard, he absolutely succeeded because even all these years later, I still look back on this fondly!

As a bonus tidbit of information, Hypno-tan cameos in this picture as a doll hanging out on my left hand side. I had to mention this bit specifically because in reality, Edge had drawn my hand way too high up. So in order to fix the positioning, he placed the doll under my hand to make everything line up. A rather ingenious solution I'd say!

ER-iKaa versus the Hypnoraptor: Reboot...?

Welcome back everyone! I hope you all had a good holiday season (assuming you're reading this as it's been released that is...) because now we're back with a new post, AND in the new year of 2023! That's right, this just happens to coincide with the first day of the new year! But that aside, we have another Erika picture to discuss. This time, we have me being hypnotized by a hypnotic dinosaur! He may or may not be related to the Hypnoraptor from the previous entries... You'd think hypnotic dinosaurs would be more uncommon.
 
 In actuality, this picture is half related to Zorro's series but also not? It's actually hard to say. This picture was drawn by the legendary P.Chronos, and it was 100% his own idea. Unfortunately I'm not really in contact with P.Chronos to ask why he chose this idea to work with, but I can talk about how we got here. Though actually, the story itself isn't all that different from the previous P.Chronos entry on this blog.

As mentioned before, I previously got into contact with P.Chronos through watching one of Penken's streams. That was more or less my only way of ever talking to him, but nonetheless we were still on friendly enough terms to chat whenever we happened to cross paths. And this time being no exception, we met up mutually at one of his streams and once again the topic of trying to reach one hundred pictures on the Hub came out. He happened to be free at the time and offered to draw me something. Of course, there's no way I'd turn him down, and so I agreed and just let him draw whatever it is he wanted to do.

And with that, we ended up with this picture here. The fact that there is a hypnotic dinosaur featured in this picture is quite a coincidence considering the Hypnoraptor series had just concluded. So I can only really say that perhaps P.Chronos stumbled upon the series prior to drawing this and decided to draw his own interpretation of the picture? Regardless this version does enough to separate itself from Zorro's canon. For one, the dinosaur in question looks like a very different species. And on top of that, you could say that this piece is about 110% more lewd featuring a completely nude version of myself, and a big hulking dino cock. Both of which are great inclusions.

I do have to make a special note of how I've been hypnotized completely and am just presenting myself boobs first towards the Saurian Overlord. While at the same time, he has this expression that just says: "Hehehe come here my pretty" or something along those lines. Once again showing that expressions can really tell a story without needing any words! Another great piece from P.Chronos~

ER-iKaa versus the Hypnoraptor: KO

After a quick break last week, we're back with the third and final picture of the ER-iKaa versus the Hypnoraptor trilogy by Zorro! Actually much in line with the second picture of the series, picture three was ALSO finished in a very quick fashion following the previous entry. This time, there was a five day gap in between parts two and three. It just so happened the Erika in Hypnoland picture happened to release in between parts two and three of this series, thus we ended up breaking the chain.

Regardless though, I've already spoken before as to how this series came to be in the first image... but back then I never thought it'd be a series. Something I also mentioned in the second post. So needless to say, I was once again blindsided by a THIRD entry in the franchise! Continuing the story, it seems that the hypnotized version of myself has been used as a honey trap of sorts. Luring out the suspecting and unseen employees at this unnamed park of dinosaurs to a very hungry raptor in the background.

The idea and jokes were all written by Zorro, so I take no credit for his amusing sense of humor here! Same goes for the underwear design as well. It seems that underneath that whole business exterior suit I wore, I have some alluring taste in underwear! Also once again continuing the trend I made note of in the previous picture, it seems my speech patterns were completely altered to act very robotic, or perhaps... inhuman. Once again solidifying the thought that perhaps the Hypnoraptor itself is injecting its will or consciousness into me. As if I'd been hypnotized to be it's spokesperson and also it's lure.

I would like to take note of at least two errors in this picture however. Unfortunately it seems Zorro has forgotten my navel piercing in this picture. Funnily enough, this was the first time he had drawn my bare stomach in all three pictures, so missing that detail isn't too big a deal. There was also a mistake in the dialogue as well, specifically with the line "... where there certainly isn't any superior predator hiding and waiting." in the upper right bubble. The "isn't" should definitely be replaced with "aren't" in that case. Zorro is not a native English speaker though, so once again, it's a very excusable error. Both mistakes in fact aren't a problem whatsoever, but I felt the need to take note of them.

Finally of course, I can't end this blog post without giving a special shout out to the final line of the series. You can't NOT have a Jurassic Park reference, specifically one with a raptor, and not have the classic "Clever girl!" line in it. Fantastic job working that into the overall story of the series seamlessly Zorro. And I'd once again like to thank Zorro for going super above and beyond my expectations when he said he would be interested in drawing me. Taking the one picture and turning into a three part series! In the end though, it really does make me wonder what happened to those fellow employees though. Did they fall prey to the Hypnoraptor perhaps...? I suppose we may never know...

Erika in Hypnoland.

Were you expecting round three of the Erika and the Hypnoraptor series by any chance...? Well surprise! We have a quick break from Zorro this week, and are instead graced by this lovely image done by two different artists! This picture was drawn by a veteran artist of this blog Etlabsotwe, as well as being animated by old Hypno Hub mod Pompom. And actually, this picture was a collab between Etlabsotwe and Pomom, meaning it was drawn with the intention of being manipped into an animation. So the assets and such were draw separately, which makes this animation a bit more distinct amongst animated manips.

As for how this picture came to be... well first, we need to discuss Pompom a bit. Pompom was an old moderator back on Hypno Hub all the way in 2015 or so. She and I became friends and we had some light discussions here and there. Also at the time, Pompom would do a fair bit of animation manips on existing pictures and upload them to the Hub too. Most of which can still be found to this day in fact! She had shared something she was working on at the time with me, that being a manip of Clair from Pokemon drawn by Sebastian. After sharing the work, discussions about manipping an Erika piece came up and the rest was history!

Well I say that, but there's more to the story. As mentioned earlier, this was a collaborative piece between Etlabsotwe and Pompom. In the past, Pompom had also manipped a fair bit of Etlabsotwe's drawings. And at the time Etlabsotwe said that he was going to draw me anyways... so this lead to an interesting collaborative effort where Etlabsotwe ended up drawing this piece specifically with the idea that it'd be animated in mind. I don't know the first thing that goes into animating a still picture, but apparently the fact that Etlabsotwe was able to draw the assets and stuff separately made the process a lot more smooth for Pompom. The specifics on that are lost me me however, as that was something those two discussed.

As for the idea itself though, it's actually kind of funny. As per usual, I didn't have an idea that I wanted immediately, and since Pompom would be working on the image for me I figured I'd let her decide on the core idea. We can see that in the end she decided on an "Alice in Wonderland" type of idea. Of course I approved the idea since there was very little I'd be against... but I wasn't super into it to be honest. I didn't dislike it, and if you had me pick between like and dislike, I'd pick like. It's just the theming wouldn't have been in my top twenty or something you know?

So back to why I said it was funny... it's because while at the time I was fine with it, I'd say this idea actually ended up aging ABSURDLY well. These days, I'm a big fan of the Alice in Wonderland aesthetic. Either Alice herself, or even just the setting... especially when paired with hypnosis! In fact, I more or less named my original character off of Alice in Wonderland too. So yes, this is one of those ideas I really feel like I didn't appreciate as much back then as I do now. And that's saying something, because even back then I still loved it!

ER-iKaa versus the Hypnoraptor: Round 02

Hey, who thought we'd see the sequel so soon? That's right, this week we have an immediate follow up to the previous week's upload: ER-iKaa versus the Hypnoraptor: Round 01... naturally following up with round two of course! To be honest though, a lot of what I said last week actually ends up applying this post as well. However what I CAN say is that this picture was a surprise in many ways.

Initially after talking with Zorro and getting the first Hypnoraptor picture, I figured that would be the end of it. Though to my big surprise a follow picture was made! This wasn't something we had discussed previously, so to me it kind of came out of nowhere. And on top of that, this picture was finished in an astonishing THREE DAYS after the first one. I don't know if Zorro was working on both pictures in tandem, or if he just finished this piece very quickly, but I wasn't and am still not used to artwork being finished at that kind of pace.

And about the picture itself, it seems that in my hypnotized stupor I released the Hypnoraptor from it's enclosure. There was also some interesting tidbits of info in the dialogue here. Apparently I'm the daughter of the owner here, so it definitely pays to have connections here! Even if I'm apparently a nuisance haha... Also it seems that when hypnotized by the Hypnoraptor, it's not a standard kind of hypnosis. I mean that by the fact my speech patterns have changed such as calling other people "fellow mammals" almost as if the creature is speaking THROUGH me. Just a scientific observation of course.

And speaking of scientific observations though, according to Zorro: "We get some hints about how it works the Hypnoraptor's superior camouflage skills, which allows him to pass almost as invisible to our eyes. Darwin at his finest!" Which is a slight nod to Jurassic World once again. Also I couldn't help but notice that my outfit seems a bit more worse for wear than before. I wonder exactly what happened when I got inside the raptor pen...? I guess I can leave that to your imaginations.

ER-iKaa versus the Hypnoraptor: Round 01

Greetings once again! For this week's blog post, we have the first picture in a set of three, all done by the artist Zorro-Zero. The title as written by Zorro, aptly describes the piece if I do say so myself, with the whole "Round 01" even hinting at the sequels that we'll be seeing in the coming weeks. But how did this picture series come to be? Well, that's what the blog is for!

Actually as far as hypnosis artists go, Zorro is someone whom I've known for a long time. Long before I even had my first even drawn picture of myself (so pre-2012) and all I did was lurk on hypnosis based art works, I did happen to stumble across Zorro. Funnily enough, I never put a name to face at the time, but I did follow his stuff. I don't remember the exact details, but he was doing a comic series that released periodically about a blonde girl who was hypnotized. I liked the art style of the comic, plus the content was sexy so I always kept that in the back of my mind.

Now flash forward to 2015, I ended getting into contact with Zorro. He happens to be a fan of girls who like self inserts such as myself, and had taken notice of me. We talked and got along rather well, as we shared a few hobbies. And it was here at this time specifically that I realized the random artist whom I had gotten into contact with just now... was the same artist that I used to periodically lurk on back about three years ago. So naturally when the topic drawing me came up, I was absolutely excited!

... However I was once again struck with the Erika Curse. The curse of: "An artist agrees to draw me, but I have no clue what I want." and the best I can really go by is just having the rules of: "Anything as long as it has me hypnotized in it." So with that being said, Zorro got to work on this piece here. We had been talking a fair bit by this point, and the topic of my likes and interests had come up. I'm a huge fan of dinosaurs, and Jurassic Park 1993 is probably my favorite movie of all time. So of course, Zorro took that to heart and came up with the original character: The Hypnoraptor!

This piece came out in 2015, which was also the year Jurassic World came out. While the other two movies left a lot to be desired, I was and still am a fan of the first Jurassic World movie. Though particularly in the year 2015 I was on a high from that movie. I can't say for sure, but I'm sure I must've mentioned to him at some point how I really enjoyed watching it earlier that year. So naturally, we have a Jurassic World theme to go along with Hypnorapter. I'm cosplaying as Claire Dearing technically, but for the purpose of the piece, it's just my business outfit.

Zorro actually has a fair bit to comment on the picture, as well as a fun alternate title in the description of the picture over on Deviant Art. You can click here to see his full comments. I do have to say though, the Kaa-type eyes here are rather unique in their colors, and the special message at the top SPECIFICALLY stating me is pretty funny. I suppose this sort of thing happens a lot, which really makes me wonder how I continued to work there... but hey, working with dinosaurs would be like a dream come true to me! And we'll be seeing more dinosaurs very soon.

The Debut of Evilka.

Greetings once again! We are back this week with not only the debut of a new character, but a new artist and friend who we will be seeing a fair bit more of in this blog. That's right, this is the first image done by the ever amazing and personal close friend of mine, EdgeOfTheMoon or just Edge for short. Not only that, but it's the debut picture of Edge is ALSO an animation! Talk about making an entrance~ 

This would normally be the part where I'd talk about how this picture came to be and it's origins, or whatever other information I'd have. However, as I mentioned earlier, I am close friends with the artist of this picture. And so, I managed to get a comment from in about this piece! He actually goes over a lot of the information about the picture for me, so I'd best leave it to the original creator to describe this wonderful piece:

"I hate some of my old art but this one holds up I think! Had only been drawing again for a few months when I did this

This pic is how me and Eri met. I told Keeper I had met someone with "Inverse Erika hair" and mentioned how it might be Erika's evil twin and he introduced us so I could warn her. Ended up liking the idea of Evilka so drew this!

Animation is a pretty simple tween. The head, eyes and Evilka's arms are all made up of different images being moved around

For the design I just inverted everything. Not just the hair but also the eye and clothes color. Also it's a bit hidden but Evilka's shirt has a cracked skull and a complete heart"
 
Yeah, that about sums up the backstory on the piece and ALSO how Edge and I met. We've been good friend ever since! Evilka is a fairly underutilized character, but we will be seeing her around in the future. Personally, I've always been a fan of alter or evil versions of characters. So when Edge brought this up to me, as well as the idea itself... well I couldn't say no! I never expected it to be an animation though. And speaking of animations...
 
 From my perspective, I had actually known about Edge for a few months at this point. He and I had never spoken before, but I'd seen some of his animations on the Hub. At the time though, he was mostly a manipper and also animating previously drawn pictures. I was a really big fan of how smooth his animation manips were. I always thought to myself: "I wonder if I could ever get him to animate an Erika picture...?" Though I never actually tried to initiate contact with him. As stated in the quote above though, through sheer coincidence he ended up contacting me. And it just so happens that Edge was trying to become an artist at the time, so we got an original picture that's ALSO an animation.
 
The picture itself is fairly straightforward with a dom swinging a pendulum and hypnotizing the sub. But I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Sometimes simple is best. Edge made this piece to debut a funny idea and character, and I'd say he did a great job. Heck, even the artist himself says the piece holds up!

The Tentacles are a Lie.

Hello again! Welcome back to another post on the blog. This week, we have a dual picture post featuring myself (and some tentacles) as well as a tentacle-less version, both done by the awesome artist Vahn_yourdoom. This picture was commissioned by me, and also mostly my idea. I'll get more into the "mostly" bit later. Since the dawn of history, or at least since I started getting into smut, I've always been hit by random cravings for tentacle or snake themed lewds. As the commission train to one hundred Hub posts chugged along, this picture just happened to be in the crossfire for when Vahn had his commissions open, and I just happened to be in one of those moods. 
 
Usually when I commission an artist I like to commission their strengths, such as getting a Kaa artist to draw a Kaa picture. However, I'm not totally sure on this, but I think this might've been the first time Vahn has ever really drawn tentacles. And even since then, he hasn't drawn too many since. He's always been more of a regular hypnosis or slutification type of artist. Despite it being of the few times he's done it though, I'd say it came out really well!

I recall that when I commissioned this picture I was incredibly vague with details. I've always been rather mediocre about coming up with ideas on the spot unless there was something I already wanted. All I knew was I wanted tentacles and myself hypnotized, and that's more or less what I told Vahn as well. So with that being said, he came up with a GREAT pose to accompany my idea. One of the best things about tentacles in my opinion is that they can simulate a gang bang type of scenario. With the two tentacles in each hand, the one coming out of my mouth, and two waiting to enter the bottom holes, I'd say we got that covered. Of course another good thing about tentacles is their ability to restrain and work like bondage ropes. We also managed to nail that in this picture with the two tentacles tied around my ankles, forcing me into that great position. 
 
As for the second picture though, that was entirely Vahn's doing. I never asked for an alternative version, he just kind of did it on his own. He has stated that "sometimes i like to draw the naked version first when there's little clothing on the drawing, lol" And just handed me this version along with the completed tentacle one. The tentacle-less tentacle picture does give a better view of me in the picture so I'm all for it! ... But it also changes the implication of the picture. The fact that there's an invisible tentacle monster assaulting me can imply that the monster doesn't actually exist at all. Instead, perhaps I've been hypnotized to see and experience a tentacle monster. And as far as Erika pictures go, that's a rather unique take then. Usually when assaulted by monsters, the monster is real in the context of the picture, so that makes this one quite the outlier, but a welcome one!

As a bit of a bonus, I mentioned earlier that I was quite vague with my description for the commission. Heck, I don't even recall ever saying what color or shape I'd like the tentacles to be. So apparently since he had all the creative free reign, he decided to base the tentacle monster off of Ultros. Specifically from Chocobo Dungeon 2. I've never been a Final Fantasy fan myself, so I've never played that game. But I figured I'd throw in that bit of trivia here!

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...

New Headphones.

Greetings again! We're back this week with not only a new picture, but also the debut of a new artist for this blog. This picture was done by Juuzou or Juu for short, and it features myself being hypnotized by hypnotic headphones given to me by Juu's OC Izayoi. Or maybe they are normal headphones and it's just playing hypnotic audio...? Well regardless, the point still stands!

For this picture, I have only the bare minimum in terms of context and backstory. From my understanding, Juu was working on improving his art skills at the time, and decided to draw me as a fun little sketch. Around this time, my goal of reaching one hundred tags on the Hub was coming along fairly well, and I had gained some notoriety because of it. I suppose that's how Juu managed to learn about me, and assist me in my goal! By the way, for those who may have lost track this picture is around the 70th or so picture uploaded to the Hub. So at this point, we were getting pretty close to said goal!

After thanking Juu personally for this surprise piece, I later ended up becoming friends with him as well. Hence the reason I do feel more comfortable referring to him as "Juu" rather than Juuzou. Though that didn't happen until much later surprisingly. For the time being, this was just a one off interaction of me waking up and checking out the Hub one day, only to be surprised by a random new Erika drawing!

As for the picture itself, it could technically be classified as a comic actually right? It does have three panels, but the top two are very small and even chibi-like. Does that count as a comic? I suppose only the experts would be able to tell me! Either way though, the idea is simple but still executed fairly well. The picture itself is still a sketch, as Juu had initially made this piece to practice. However, I appreciate that he colored the hair and the pink hearts at least! Heart eyes are actually one of my favorite hypnosis based eyes, up there with Kaa eyes, and empty eyes.

Overall, a simple but still very cute piece. Accentuated by not only the straightforward idea, but also the cute art style that Juu brought to the table for this picture! In the future, he would eventually remake this picture. And initially, I was going to include both the original and the remake in this post even if there was about a three or so year time gap... however the "remake" has a slight altercation in the dialogue to imply that it's not just a remake, but also a sequel funnily enough. So I figured that warranted a new post, but we'll get to that one in the much later future!

Erika's Guide To The Most Commonly Hypno-Inducing, Everyday Nuisances!

We're back this week, this time with quite a doozy of a picture. A single page comic by the one and only: Keeper of Pots! Featuring a comic about me being hypnotized in various ways, by various different household appliances. Note, that not all items seen in this comic are found in the average household. As a bonus, since this one page comic comes with a title, that means I don't have to come up with one myself! It's the small things we have to be thankful for~

So where to begin with on this piece...? To be honest, I couldn't really say where the idea of this picture came from, nor the inspiration for it. What I can say though, is one day Keeper of Pots told me he was working on a secret project of his. I asked him what it was, but he refused to elaborate it to me. All he told me was "it features an OC from the Hub". And I remember at the time it kind of made me a bit sad to hear, as I could've sworn at the time that he said he would be doing an Erika project next. Nonetheless, looking at it after the fact, it's clear to see he worded that in a way to get under my skin... while also still telling the truth. Very clever use words there! So that particular detail has stuck with me after all these years.

Before we continue though, I do have a bit of a creator's note from the author himself:

"I don't recall exactly how this particular idea came to be, but I s'pose it's not a huge leap in logic to come up with an idea like this.

A few fun things however. The 50's hypno gun is a reference to "The Hypno  Gun", a 1952 comic by Carl Barks. It stars Donald and his nephews as he observes them playing with the epnymous toy. They pretend to hypnotize each other but Donald believes it to be real, and takes it away from them. Before he throws it away however, the possibilities of being able to hypnotize people dawns on him and he decides to pay his uncle Scrooge a visit... A very fun story, even if I don't consider it fetish fuel!

Also the panels in which Erika was hypnotized by giant purple tentacles became a prequel for a later comic I did (Erika helped me brainsstorm) called "Daze of Our Wives". It features Erika having a reunion with said tentacle, but that's for another time, I s'pose.

I think this was also the first time I had drawn myself into one of these comics,  going for a bit of a chibi style here. I swear it's not how I met Erika in real life. But she does make for a very cute hypnotized and naked artist's assistant!"
 
So it seems that even the creator isn't sure how this idea came to be. But even so, the idea itself is a timeless classic! The idea of being hypnotized by random household objects is not only funny, but it also shows off how easily hypnotized I am. And as another fun fact, Keeper of Pots also mentioned how two panels in this picture became a prequel a full fledged comic right? We've been discussing a possibility of each of these ideas perhaps spinning off into their own ideas. In fact, a future idea has myself hypnotized and trapped in a snake terrarium, which while technically not related to this one, COULD be interpreted as it was an inspiration. So going off of that, perhaps basing a comic or a standalone picture inspired by these ideas, with this picture itself being kind of like a hub world for those potential comics or pictures would be pretty cool. A HYPNO HUB if you will.

There would be a lot to cover with this picture based on the expressions alone, as there are so many different inductions and expressions here. Usually I'd like to highlight that in my blog entries, but this time with so many of them, I'd rather just go over my favorite one. All of them are really good, but in the end I think I'd default to the Kaa one. Just the happy and blissful look as I press against the glass trying to get in is super cute. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, there is a future snake terrarium picture. And while this picture had nothing to do with that idea, perhaps on some subconscious level I decided that idea based on this snake panel. But more on that whenever we get to that entry.

And finally, as a small little bit of trivia... back on the old Hypno Hub when you had to use existing pictures as avatars, I had the upper left Erika as my avatar for years. Pretty much as soon as this picture was uploaded in 2015, to when the Hub changed it's core systems in 2022. So RIP old Erika profile picture...

Plunging Off The Deep End.

Welcome back! This week, we have a very simple and straightforward picture. Drawn by Psi, we have myself having my mind drained by a... hypnotic plunger. Yes, quite original indeed! The drawing it self is on the simple side, and to be honest, the story on how this picture came to be is as simple as you could imagine! But that doesn't take away from how funny and cute this image turned out to be.

As I've mentioned before, I've met a lot of friends through the hypno art community. A few friends of whom I still talk to even today! And one of those friends happens to be the artist Psi. Though at the time of this picture, we had only known each other for a little less than a year. And during a random day, Psi ended up messaging me with a pretty unique greeting. Actually, this might be one of the very few times I have an exact excerpt from a conversation when it comes to a hypnosis picture. The conversation was more or less as follows:

Psi: Erikaaaaaaaa
Erika: Psiiiiiiii
Psi: Psi suddenly applies Mind Control Plunger on your forehead!
Erika: hey that's a new one!
Psi: ikr? I should draw it
Erika: did you just make it up on the spot?
Psi: yes
Erika: ohhh now's your chance. while the idea is still fresh!

... And that's more or less the story behind this picture. It was a simple random greeting that ended up being morphed into a full blown sketch by Psi. After that, it was uploaded to the Hub a few days later. 
 
As for the picture itself, again it is on the simple side as it was a quick sketch drawn by Psi. But it's very straightforward and gets the exact point across that we were discussing. Seems like the plunger is the type of hypnotic instrument that leaves it's victim completely mindless! As we can see from my vacant expression with a bit of drool leaking out.

I'd also like to give a quick special shout out to Letterabcd from the Hub, for leaving a comment that inspired the title for this post.

Erika and a Nice Pet.

Greetings all! We're back again this week, after a slight break as I was on vacation for the past two weeks or so. But getting back into the swing of things, we have a more unknown picture featuring myself and a snake! By "unknown" I mean this picture was never actually uploaded to Hypno Hub, so if you're only a Hub browser you may have missed this one. As well, this isn't just any average hypno snake. The snake itself is named "White" and is an OC of the artist who was kind enough to do this picture for me, tom65hg. The artist in question was also the one to name this image, and it is still posted on Deviant Art to this day. Thus, the name of this post is a direct lift from the picture itself.

As for how this picture came to be? Well actually there isn't much to say. One day I was just messaged on Deviant Art by tom65hg asking if he could draw me. Someone approaching me to draw me was rare, but always a welcome thing to see. So of course I was happy to hear it, and thus gave me approval. Not too long after, I was sent this completed picture with myself coiled up and hypnotized, while White licks my feet.

This picture is very much a foot fetish picture, as you can see how much detail went into the tongue looping around each toe. For those of you who don't know, I'm a pretty big foot fetishist myself, so I'm totally down for something like this! And correct me if I'm wrong, but this may or may not be the first foot related picture on the this blog. Though that will definitely change in some upcoming posts... A thing I never really noticed about this picture until I really scrutinized it just now though, was the fact that White doesn't have a standard forked snake tongue. Rather, it's like the tongue splits off into two separate tongues, allowing it to lick both feet and in between both toes. Quite an interesting snake design! Unfortunately, I don't know too much about the character though.

And of course, it wouldn't really be an Erika picture without some hypnosis in there! We have the standard Kaa eyes with a big dopey and mindless expression. Showing that I'm so hypnotized, that I probably don't even notice the tongue(s) slithering around my feet and toes. I've actually always been a big fan of the mindlessly blank and dumb looking smile. Blank and empty expressions are good too, but there's something about that blissful state of empty happiness that gets me, and this picture definitely nails that.

Besides that, this picture does unfortunately have the whole coil cocoon going on here. For those who might not remember, I'm actually not the biggest fan of that trait. Mainly because it obscures so much of the body, and it also seems a bit lazy to me BECAUSE it skips the body process. If I were to have a picture of a character being coiled, I'd like to see a fair bit of the body too, while the snake or tentacle works as a kind of rope. However, for this picture the focus is on the feet. And because of that, I can give it a pass here! We have the hypnotized expression, and the feet which was the main point.
