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).

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

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.
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.

Why do you yearn to live, knowing all things must die? -Final Fantasy VI
A brand new monthly article which showcases some of deviantART's finest equine artists, as well as recognizing the lesser-known but equally talented ones. Interviews, helpful tutorials and features can all be found here too! I hope you enjoy it.
The idea of this contest is to set you up completely blind with a mythical being - from any world culture - and turn you loose to come up with a deviation based around it!
Lifehacker takes a look at the 5 Best online image editors. For those of you that don't use Photoshop, I highly suggest taking a look at this, as these apps allow you to edit your images in a browser window, and some are VERY powerful!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
In this article you will find many thumbnails of the sun in different forms, all photography featured here by the club feature-me. Please show your support for these artists and their work and the article so that more people can see their work.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
