Has someone with this suffer I was going to say make it look more distorted so I can feel more normal to my eye with my friend next to me

I like them.

This is already so perfect as is! Please please no distorted features. I've had enough of those looking at the mirror. It's very unsettling, stressful, and uncomfortable, not a good combination for something we use to hold and cuddle everyday. And the thing with having body dysmorphia is that our actual body is NOT morphed. It's just our minds playing tricks on us. So instead of adding distorted features, I agree on adding a little reflective surfaces to represent mirrors! Maybe the bones or the eyes could be reflective!

I think that it would display BBD more if it’s half and half, one side is reality and brown or white, while the other side is wild with color and prints and exaggerated features. I do like the bones though!

I love this one so, so, so much!! I wouldn't want lots of reflective material on the bunny since it's kind of a strange texture, but I think it would work well on its eyes. It would give the effect of staring into a mirror.

Maybe it represents some people, but for me no.

I adore this bunny and would get it in a heart beat. I have dysmorphia myself and I really appreciate the fact none of his general body shapes were distorted out of proportion of the regular buns, I get enough of that myself I don’t need to be reminded of it every time I want to have a cuddle with a bunny. One thing that might be cool, but also might make the design a bit too busy I’m not sure, would be shiny/mirror like eyes? I just find I’m always worse off when I have to look in a mirror and it’s the same for my friend who struggles with dysmorphia as well, so something representing a mirror/mirror like surface would be cool.

While I like the general design, I’m not sure if the bones fit as BDD can manifest in different ways. I would also think the could be reflective look on certain parts of the rabbit, or maybe the rabbit holding up a mirror. Maybe the face and even body can look a little distorted on one side to represent how the person with BDD may percieve themselves. The other half could represent how an outside onlooker may see them, looking normal/non-distorted. But I absolutely love the colors! Hopefully you keep the palette!

I absolutely love the design and imagery/symbolism. I think making sure the final fur has more green or aquamarine, the yellow and black details will work very well,visually.

Oh. Wow this is nearly perfect! I would just suggest adding some almost mirror-like fabric that reflects colors a bit, to show how people with body dysmorphia often can't recognize themselves in mirrors or obsess over mirrors. This is beautiful so far 💜
