With the veins and the empty eyes, I'm trying to show rage as something that makes your blood run hot and shuts down our capacity for rational thought for a while. Rage can make people feel rightous in acts of violence and can let them give themselves permission to do terrible things, so the expression I chose for the mouth is a smirk rather than a grimace or a snarl.
