1F631 (face screaming in fear)

wiki-painting
1893 painting by Munch

fear is one of the Inside Out emotions
it inspires caution or flight
in cartoons, big wide eyes

screaming in shock/surprise
appealing for help?

maybe this is fear plus disgust? ( = 'horror' for McCloud)
"horror" seems like a better description
the name doesn't require hands-to-face but everyone assumes it ('hands to face' implies 'no flight' ie no immediate threat)


weirdly enough, the original Docomo name for this was "very thin"




vs fearful face

vs skull


vs alien grey


(another emoji based on a famous painting is "water wave")
