Yes, add in the worry (upfurling of the brows) as suggested. Also, thin and clench the lips and jaw a bit more to strenghten the anger aspect in the lower portion of the face. Narrow the eyes as well. Eyes tend to appear to squint a bit when angry due to the lower face drawing upward from the muscles in the check setting and even adding a bit of frowning to the mouth. Whereas the brows tend to knit inward and down, causing the eyes to narrow even further. The upfurl at the inner corners of the brow will help add add the hurt expression you are seeking. Some ranges of emotion are nearly impossible to combine and do not really exist on the human face as one might believe. In this instance, while it may be difficult in acutally to feel both hurt and angry, it can occur and can be expressed as anger is most notably reflected in the lower portion of the face (when combined with another emotion). While expressions like Fear, Worry, and Hurt are more evident in the eyes, eyebrows, and surrounding muscles of the upper face. Hope this helps. Rob
