    I was really trying to stick with the "traditional" phobias with this one, that is what the initial list was for, but I expanded it to include documented phobias .

    Maybe this could work ... Pediophobia - fear of dolls?

    This is probably the final scene: added the head of Victoria 5 with Pure Hair Bubblegum Caramel, then a bit of work to give her a consistent expression. V5 glance and lights setup lead the observer to focus attention on door #13. V5 visage fades to darkness like all other elements in the scene.

    Time for the poster, now.

    Here's my so far failed attempt at depicting the Fear of Decision. Thinking it would be better to go tthe route of having a figure frozen in fear standing at a crossroad. At any rate we have here the fear to choose and work on one or two figures and get going, so in the end dozing it all over.

    Maybe it could be Demonophobia or Daemonophobia- Fear of demons? Possibly a bit tenuous?
    When I open the final entry thread, you can of course enter what ever you like . But dont forget ,hopefully people voting will take into account the rules I set and vote accordingly....

    Hi,

    second try… two horns, a tail, bat wings and now my stickman is a deamon (thank you for the idea).

    I hope U will like it ;)

    Could it be our cook has a fear of food?

    I have had a little time today to work on my image "Fear of Flying - The Trials of a Fledging Angel". Getting much closer now to my vision for it. I made all the buildings in the city below. I might play a bit more with the lighting and camera angle but this is close to how I imagined it.

    Not really revealing much with this, except that it's a WIP...
    Just started to work on his shaders, and his pose is not yet complete. Still debating adding some custom morphs for his expression, though I'm really happy with how expressive the Sub Dragon is. I'm used to working with my buddy Mil Dragon 2. This beast is one fine model, though.

    He's the one who's afraid, though I'm not going to say of what just yet. More to come....

    Edit: BTW, this is just a test render of the bump and highlight channels for the scales and is very preliminary, and is not at all what the poster will look like - it's a work in progress.

    Wow... cool new pics since the last time I've checked in!
    Sorry to say... I've been really under the weather too. Just like you said, Stu... hard to concentrate - or even think at all.
    Things started looking up today though. And I was beginning to think that I'd never find the time to think about a Phobia movie - but after such a great day on the ol' Carrara workbench, I started to think about an up coming animation job, and it fell nicely into this contest. So I immediately dropped thinking about the animation part, and just started working on this month's challenge thing. I'm sticking with one of those that you wanted us to adhere to from the beginning. Wow there's some cool things going on in here!

    Really nice work on the scales Dart. Is that the default bump map that came with the Sub-Dragon?

    Yes.
    I cranked up the bump and applied the spec maps directly to the highlight channel, without lowering the brightness of the image.
    Since I then have the map location memorized within Carrara, this is the perfect time to replace the color channel with white (I just Ctrl Drag the 100% Alpha Channel into the color channel, since 100% in RGB = white) in order to get a good look at how the bump, specular, and shininess are working together. For some models I might pick something much lower than 100 like, say, the gray chip from default, just to help show how the light and the highlight/shine/bump are working together. Works great for me - and it's fast.

    Speaking of fast, I then use the same background that Cripeman uses in his Global Illumination Tutorial as a fast means of even light distribution without adding a single light beyond the default, Camera 1.

    I agree with Ncamp. Everyones stuff is looking good. My ideal crumbled into digital dust. Very inspiring to see the WIP's.

    Yeah, echo that thought -- I just haven't had time (plus I've been distracted by shiny things). I do love the WIPs here though; great work everyone!

    Final entry thread starts tomorrow folks! But dont forget, you have still a whole week to cobble something together if you have not even started yet !!!

    So far, mine is using absolutely no post work. I love messing around in Carrara to try and solve as much as I can in a single render. A patience I've learned from trying to get animations as 'right' as possible in their initial pass. That was before I got Dogwaffle, which can perform a plethora of post functions directly onto animation sequences, which is very cool. Here's the one just before I added Dartan and Rosie:

    The Sub Dragon is actually a small creature. I scaled Dart and Rosie down quite a bit to fit them in.

    Starting to create the environment for the action shoot.
    The boxes are content. The chair is made in Hexagon. And the rest is made in the Vertex modeler.

    And as usual, I am overdoing the details.....

    I've been busy too, I've not completed my poster yet. :blank:
    I will submit my final work in the official thread but I will probably post another WIP here, with the latest comments about my interpretation of this challenge.

    I'm surprised no one looked up the phobia I mentioned in http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/33911/P60/#506055

    Luposlipaphobia- The fear of being pursued by timber wolves around a kitchen table whilst wearing socks on a newly waxed floor.
