Rescuing an old challenge by Swatches, decided to retackle this prompt, of a large feline mixed with a flower motif.
Part of the challenge was communicate a sense of grandiose from the beast, as it acts as a guardian to a place, and people would bring offerings. I disposed of some elements, since I struggled with them way back, and focused on the creature and the sense of mystic grandiosity I wanted to emphasize.
