Character expressing Fear

Here I posed a character (which I do not own) expressing the emotion Fear. There are several components that build up the emotion and help make it believable. The legs and arms are as close to the body as possible, there is a big curve in the spine, the tail is pointing down and the ears are dropped down. Doing this, the character is trying to get as small as possible, almost invisible. The posture of the hands in front of the face also indicate protection. The slight bend in the front leg has a protective indication aswell. The facial expression has a major role in the expressing of any feeling - in this case, the eyes are wide open and the inner points of the eyebrows are lifted up while the outer corners are pointing down.
