Atychiphobia... the fear of failure. This fear has haunted me since I can remember, especially when it comes to academics.

(There are actually words and phrases written thoughout the shadows of the monster, though it's hard to see in this image. I don't quite remember what they all say, but I do know that they're either things I think to myself, things others say to me, and things that happen that have fed my feeling of failure over the past.)

mediums:
watercolor
arylic
color pencil
markers

Yeah, definitely had to look up what atychiphobia was. But this is cool!

I love the mixed media-ness, especially the red scribbles :D See, you're good at scribbling!

To be honest, that kinda scared me. Is that atychiphobia-phobia? xD

I like the color/texture.

Gosh!! I mean, it is SOoo marvelous of you to personify (if you are able to say it like that) your feelings, the ones from deep deep inside!! I hope I could do that!!

Whoa. It's creepy. The colors fit well and the whole spirit or whatever dwarving the person helps.

Definitions of failure vary... I fear death without having accomplished anything with my life. That's my version of failure.
