Standalone illustration of a hare walking backwards with four ears at awkward angles, carrying a tiny pocket watch, wearing mismatched socks visible on its back legs. Warm muted palette of rust, sage green, warm beige, soft brown, and cream. Hand-drawn line quality with clean outer contour. Playful, confident posture despite the chaos. Original character. Solid black background for high contrast.
