I’m pretty fond of older gents - it’s about time I featured them more in my art (a recent sketch)

#art #hypnosis #still a huge fan of this one

[somnefarious]

I will have to go through my inbox at some point, haha

Sorry to anyone that sent asks a while ago, just waiting for some downtime to really focus on them

Hunger is a terrible thing

#oh nice #art #love the shadows #beautiful pose and composition

Last one I had from ages ago - always thought reflections goofing off without their, uh, owners(?) was kind of a funny idea. I'd actually wanted to draw the previous part to this before posting, but I'm not sure if/when I'd ever get to it so, why not

context: Outside of possession, dream demons are able to manifest in the real world under specific conditions for a short period of time (conditions differ demon to demon) - the ones that do often use it as an opportunity to have fun and mess around in the mortal realm

Swimming in the deep? Might be a good idea to bring a friend, just in case

#my art #hypnosis #original characters #Kah-leel #I know that this isn't what people mean when they want mermaid themed hypnosis #but I think there being a species of merpeople that are more susceptible to the dangers of the sea is a fun idea #and a luring style of hypnosis is very chefs kiss

iirc someone said to the collector once that he should have a uniform for his victims?

Did he eventually come up with one or did he find it too frivolous?

Outside of his experiments, he's not typically one for pageantry

Someone else asked how many 'employees' the Collector has on hand at a time, but that largely depends on how many guards he's 'borrowed' from unruly clients

#somn reply #my art #original characters #the collector #His average is around 10-20 minion at a time but it can be less or more than that depending on what he's working on or who he's working wit

I hope I get to see more of your art of the HIVE series(?), it's really interesting!

Thanks - I don't have any further plans for them currently (they were originally more of a one-off idea than a fully developed story), but if I think of anything else that I want to draw for them, I'll be sure to post it

#somn reply #sorry about that #I honestly didn't expect the bees to get as popular as they did haha

… ok what was the trigger on the back of the latest collector victim’s shirt?

No one sets off his trigger until a week later when a few of his friends invite him out for boba tea before class. He surprises them by answering back only in French

Especially suprising because before his disappearance, he hadn't known any French

#somn reply #my art #I looked it up and apparently you only need a few weeks to get the basics of a language down if you study right #Would definitely be right up the Collector's alley to study language retention under trance

Cam’s hypnotically induced personality corruption…uff 😳👌👌

Have to love a good Face-Heel Turn

(also a good Heel-Face Turn, but we'll leave that for later)

Hello, Just wondering if you know, but you don't appear in tumblr searches! Your blog won't come up!

Oh, right - I had it set to hide me from searches when I first started posting and didn't think to ever change it haha

Suppose I should go ahead and change that now

Someone mentioned this as an idea and I wanted to draw it immediately - a naga hypnotized to coil themselves up is a VERY cute idea

Also, a good a time as any to reveal Fleat's ability to possess (compatible) human beings

The appeal of hypnosis is the way it makes things simple. Without any bells or whistles it makes everything narrow down to one thing that matters, one thing that is going to happen to you laid out in plain terms as you watch it unfold.

The nervousness I feel constantly otherwise is swallowed up by the story being woven around me, and it’s lovely.

It’s experience without stakes, with all the sensations of stakes still there to spice it up.

Anything can happen and it will be fine and I can’t be wrong because I am merely a vassal for my narrator. It is all meant to happen as it does, so it will.

Wanted to pop in and say how much I love your ponytailed naga. Their deep red tail combined with the golden underbelly is absolutely beautiful, and I love just how they wrap their hypno-prey up in their coils. That smug grin is gonna be the undoing of me I swear

Haha, thanks - definitely happy with the color scheme on him

#somn reply #my art #naga #hypnosis #original characters #originally a one off but I've drawn him enough times that now I'm attached to the design #still doesn't have a name though #but I'll think of one eventually probably
