Full view highly recommended! (but only because it's easier to read the text that way)

My submission for the Iconographophobia Halloween contest.

I was trying to avoid doing some homework one night and decided to check my dA gallery messages, and found the list of Halloween art contests. The Phobia contest in particular piqued my interest, so I looked up a list of all existing phobias. While many were quite amusing (I highly recommend checking them out if you're bored and need to kill about 20 minutes), this one, along with walloonophobia, struck me as particularly absurd, so I decided to sketch it out. I have a couple of other phobia ideas knocking about in my head that I might sketch out for Scraps later.

Papaphobia is, as noted on the image, an irrational fear of the Pope. I can only imagine it would be rather embarrassing to display this phobia in public (bahaha).

pen and ink + digital coloring, 10/28/07

edit: found a few blotches that I somehow failed to clean up. Duly cleaned them up.

That's excellent! :XD: I found Papaphobia to be one of the more amusing ones as well, so it makes me happy that you made an entry based on it. :D

Hahaha, this is awesome. It's really cute. I like how the dude even reflects about it... it would be really embarassing, indeed! @_x;; Some of those phobias are really amusing.

Good luck with the contest! :D

Thanks! And yeah, most phobias make some kind of sense (spiders can be pretty creepy, tall heights can be lethal, and so on), but why anyone would be afraid of religious old men who generally go around blessing people is a mystery to me.
