Gastroparesis Bunny

I love the expression on this bun! They look like they feel nauseous, which is definitely a massive symptom of my own gastroparesis. I think it would be better if there was some indication of the stomach upsets on the tummy itself. My suggestion would be embroidered white bubbles, because it would also bring more white into the design to balance out the mostly green palate. Other than that, I like this design a lot!

Small shake is last thing someone with gastro conditions would have as dairy is the hardest thing for your stomach to digest. So not a good symbol, tiny plate of food sure. There's nothing on the bunny to indicate the stomach pain and stomach cramps. You also have to deal with isolation and depression, as this condition is very debilitating and can be far worse then physical disabilities. When u a condition like this, u are frequently cancelling plans as unable to leave the house/toilet and on the odd occasion that u do go out your 1st thoughts as soon as you enter the room, is where is the toilet? How far is it from where we're sitting? How far is it from the exit and then how quickly can we/u be back home again? So your in constant alert/stress. These mental health conditions also need to be highlighted as part of the symptoms and highlighted if possible on the bunny.

I agree with Sky that the design is a bit too plain. Maybe more areas on its body/face/ears being white to match the hair instead of the plush being green all over would break up the flat-color design. I love her little shake! Relateable.

I like the concept, but I think the design is a little too plain? I think adding something like a feeding port on the stomach would be cute (not everyone with the disorder will have to get one but I think it would be nice representation for those who do have one). Maybe adding something else on the stomach if not the feeding port would be cool too. Like angry line squiggles. Also maybe changing the shake into something on the FOODMAP diet that people with the disorder are often on like a small cooked carrot instead? And maybe adding an angry face to show that’ll flare symptoms. Also maybe adding something to represent headaches from not being able to eat enough?

Love this bun. Hope the corduroy is in on the parts that look like it and that the rest is like celiac level plush/ soft as would be a fun and tactile pleasing contrast to me.
