Overthinking Bunny Prototype V1

The blue floof looks like it would get messed up/dirty easily, and the short arms look awkward. I like the design of the ears.

I am a huge overthinker and I feel like the fluff around the head doesn't accurately depict that. Overthinking is a rough compulsion for me and the fluff makes it seem sort of light and fuzzy. I'd feel better if something were done to show that it makes you feel like you can't turn your brain off. Each thought tends to be very sharp and vibrant as opposed to fluffy and soft. I'd probably do something spiral-related, because that's what overthinking causes for me. I LOVE the pencil though, because journaling is a huge help.

I love this design, but not for this subject. This feels like a creative/writers block bunny and not an overthinking bunny.

My first thought was exactly what the designer note states – arms are a fair bit too short. But as a whole, super cute & I hope the final bun design doesn't stray too far from this look. I think the scribble motif is great, a very clear & creative representation of overthinking.

I definitely see the thought behind the current puzzled/deep in thought expression, which also reads well. However I agree with lots of other commenters in that the expression would be better if modified to show more frustration, and with this also reflect the exhaustion that comes with excessive/inescapable overthinking.

Semi original-ish thought/suggestion I have is to visually allude to the spiraling of thought patterns, perhaps incorporating a spiral design on each of the palms? Rather than current fluffy hands. (Spirals on the palms could also be a powerful symbol of how pervasive overthinking can be for people that deal with this – how it 'touches everything')
On another note – Before it was pointed out the fluffy hands and feet didn't bother me. They still don't bother me now, but I like the idea of a thought bubble around the head only vs head & paws – and in my opinion the ears are unmistakenly rabbit, so just head fluff doesn't mean the whole lil thing will suddenly look like a lion if that change was made.

I think making the face more worried or even like dazed would help. I also think making the inside of the ears have swirls or like a little static looking would be a nice touch when I overthink it is hard to hear others and listen to logic because of how fast my brain spins.
