My entry to the MAMA Scared Stiff Contest on DA.

The guidelines said to "use your imagination and create a visual depiction of your most frightening apparition." I've never been afraid of snakes, spiders, heights, or monsters. But there's one animal I absolutely can not handle, Ocean Sunfish.

Sure, there are more commonly feared animals and monsters that I could have painted. But since this is about what scares me, I hope I've succeeded in making you feel even a little bit of what I go through when I look at these guys.
