Please read this I would appreciate any feedback/input.

For my major project this semester, I am doing an illustration class called ‘Fuck your fear’. Basically an open ended image making class where we have to make a book based around the topic of fear.

My concept for the project is create a ‘childrens book’ that goes through the Alphabet Animalia style, except with different fears for each letter, each letter getting its own illustration. For this I am creating a series of characters that will be present on each image, and will be experiencing or enacting each fear (So for example B is for Burnt to Death, and one or more of the characters will be burning another character).

The book is meant to be presented with the manner and tone of a children’s book, but with some very adult content.
Check out my recent deviations to see the characters as they currently are.

Now, one of the reasons I am posting this up on Deviant is to get a bit of input in choosing the fears. A couple of letters in particular are very difficult to make interesting images of or simply find interesting fears for (namely the letter 'Y').

So the fears so far. I know there are a couple of big ones I have missed, but they would just be impossible to make a good illustration for or there was a more important fear for same letter (I could think of heaps of ‘D’ fears for example). I did come up with some for the missing letters but they were....well lame.

A is for All Alone
B is for Burnt Alive
C is for Clowns
D is for Death
E is for Elevators
F is for Failure
G is for Ghosts
H is for Heights
I is for Insecurity
J is for Jealousy
K
L is for Lightning
M is for Monsters under the bed
N is for Nuclear War
O is for getting Old
P is for Public Speaking
Q is for Quicksand/Quake
R is for Rejection
S is for Snakes, Sharks and Spiders (I plan to do these in the same illustration)
T
U
V is for Vampires
W is for Water (drowning)
X is for Xenophobia
Y
Z is for Zombie Apocalypse! (The heroic climax where everyone dies)

So let me know if you can think of a fear for the missing letters or you think there is something that deserves to be on the list that I have missed. I think I'm going to have a lot of fun with some of these images =D
