The main objective of this article is to give artists in Deviant the opportunity to see the way that other fellows artists in deviant express their "moods", "Emotions", "Fears", "Sexuality". The main reason of this article is to show the different types of feelings which are not others than the ones that describes the physical sensations.

The word "Feelings" is usually reserved for the conscious subjective experience of emotions, and we all have different ways to react to them, now the first serie of this article will be towards the six primary emotions

Happiness
Surprise
Disgust
Fear
Anger
Sadness

So the second article will be directed to the emotion Surprise which is a brief emotional state that is the result of experiencing an unexpected relevant event. Surprise can have any valence; that is, it can be neutral, pleasant, or unpleasant. Accordingly, some would not categorize surprise in itself as an emotion.

Surprise is expressed in the face by the following features:

Eyebrows that are raised so they become curved and high.
Stretched skin below the eyebrows.
Horizontal wrinkles across the forehead.
Open eyelids: the upper lid is raised and the lower lid is drawn down, often exposing the white sclera above and below the iris.
Dropped jaw so that the lips and teeth are parted, with no tension around the mouth.

Spontaneous, involuntary surprise is often expressed for only a fraction of a second. It may be followed immediately by the emotion of fear, joy or confusion. The intensity of the surprise is associated with how much the jaw drops, but the mouth may not open at all in some cases. The raising of the eyebrows, at least momentarily, is the most distinctive and predictable sign of surprise.

Now below You will see a serie of Images that I've found around , which in my eyes have an amazing concept and that all of them express and speak for their own, so enjoy them and support the artists if you like their work.
