Running Rabbit · Trailing Ear Curves

SUBJECT
One original cream-colored rabbit character running toward image-right, with two long flexible ears trailing toward image-left. Its head leads the torso, and both ears remain visibly attached to the crown.

COMPOSITION
Show the complete rabbit in a clean side view at eye level, occupying the middle of a horizontal frame. Leave generous open space ahead on image-right and enough space on image-left to include both ear tips.

STYLE GUIDE
1. Shape & line
Build the rabbit from a rounded head, compact oval torso, and simple tapered limbs. Draw each ear as a continuous flexible shape: its root initially rises from the crown, its middle bends toward image-left, and its tip hangs farther left than its root. Give the two ears slightly different curves so their delayed movement reads clearly.

2. Color & light
Use warm cream for the body, muted peach inside the ears, and dark brown for the small facial features. Light from upper image-right, placing soft pale highlights on the forehead and leading chest and a restrained warm-gray shadow beneath the belly and trailing ear curves.

3. Texture & material
Render opaque matte gouache with broad, softly uneven brush fills and a faint paper grain. Keep the ear surfaces smooth enough that their bends remain readable; suggest fur only with a few short strokes along the cheek and tail, without breaking the long ear contours.

4. Composition
Lean the torso toward image-right, extend one forepaw forward, and stretch one hind leg toward image-left in a suspended running stride. Separate the two ear silhouettes with a visible background gap. Use a plain pale-blue background and one soft ground shadow below the rabbit, keeping the trailing ears as the clearest cue to movement.

PRIORITY
Preserve the requested identity, count, action, composition and output settings. Apply the style rules within those constraints; a style reference must not replace the subject or layout. Within the style: Make the attached ear roots lead and the curved tips visibly trail toward image-left.

AVOID
Avoid rigid straight ears, detached ear shapes, and motion streaks that obscure the curves.

OUTPUT
One 4:3 character illustration in matte gouache, with no lettering, captions, logos, or watermark.

SELF-CHECK
Check that both ears attach clearly and trail opposite the rabbit's image-right running direction.
