Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia, or fear of the number 666, the number of the Beast in Revelations. The number apparently stands for a human name. Very unusual and rare phobia.

People with this phobia strongly avoid anything that links with the number 666, such as addresses or being born on 6th June 2006 (6/6/06)

Some people may even be afraid of numbers that are liked with 666, or will consider it to roll a dice and get three sixes.

I had to scour Revelations to draw this picture: there are references to the book everywhere. I drew two beasts, the Seven Headed beast and the beast with horns, because I had no clue which beast 666 refers to. The woman with the child and the twelve stars over her head and the dragon are here, along with an angel. Look closely enough and you'll see dice, playing cars and little sixes all over the paper. The mermaid is there for no particular reason except to show what its like to be drowning in fear. Note that her chain is made up of a lot of little sixes.

Sepia ink and watercolour on watercolour paper. Any rougness is intentional, even that little white border thing, just to make it look creepy. Well, that's my sotry anyway

Urgh, this picture took forever-I nearly missed the deadline, in fact, I think I DID miss the deadline-HELP! I'm just glad I had a copy of Bizenghast lying around at home as refernce for all those robes. Weirdly enough, I found references for the gears in a woman's magazine.
