Visual snow is a rare neurological condition characterized by tiny flickering dots or static, much like the "snow" on an old television screen, that appear across the entire field of vision. These dots can be black, white, colored, or transparent and are constantly present.
It has been more recently linked to tinnitus and migraines, though the exact cause is unknown.

I think the inner ears could use something more? they just feel a bit plain in comparison to the eyes and chest, it could also use a tail of some kind
I would have hoped for a more natural colored rabbit tbh. I was always a fan of the ‘visual snowshoe rabbit idea’. And static more incorporated into the design.
Also I hope this crowd design process will actually be shared with more than just the people who have managed to find this blog page on the website without it being announced at all on social media. And having an option to reply to people or like the comments would be helpful too.
I have chronic migraine along with visual snow which has been permanent for 3 years now. I wouldn’t change a thing with this design, although I think she needs a tail. I love the colours. Fingers crossed my migraine bun can get a new friend soon!
I think you should design an Alice madness returns bunny but each bunny has her different dresses from each world that she goes to
squiggles and spirals in the ears for floaters would be nice. something for eye pain like red or eyebags would be appreciated because VSS comes with a lot of eye pain for me.
eyebags or red around the eyes to symbolize eye pain would be nice. squiggles, shapes and spirals in the ears to symbolize floaters and a spiral tail to symbolize floaters too. i like the general vibe but VSS comes with a lot of eye pain for me so itd be nice to have something there.
It would be nice if the inside of the ears had static to or had more squiggles, spirals and shapes to symbolize floaters. a spiral tail to represent floaters would be cool. also some red or eyebags around the eyes to symbolize headaches or eyepain.
I really love this design already. I just hope it’s soft. Besides that I think it’s absolutely perfect as someone who has visual snow!
I don’t know much about visual snow though I often suffer from floaters and occasionally double vision but it is a lovely looking bunny who obviously needs a tail. I do however suffer from tinnitus in both ears plus hearing loss so would love to see a tinnitus bunt or dare I say it a cat!
I have visual snow, funnily enough did not know it wasn’t the normal way people see until a few years ago.
I like this design concept! I would personally prefer the colours be more muted since the snow can sometimes affect the way color looks (especially in lower light), and I’d love to see some kind of TV static element, maybe in place of the heart as someone else has commented?, since describing it as “static, like on a screen but across everything I see” is generally how I get the point across to others.
Also I like one of the previous commenters bringing up floaters, I recently developed/noticed those and they’ve been super frustratingly in the way of… everything. It would make sense to somehow incorporate those little clear-vision-worms into the design, maybe as texturing in the ears, or as separate little bunnies that come with the plushie, as some other designs have done. Sort of as “constant tagalongs,” since they never really go away, and the visual effects come with you wherever you go.
