Bête Mythique Suanni à l'Encre de Chine

Oriental mythological beast [Suanni], lion-shaped, standing on four feet in a forward-marching posture, captured from a low-angle perspective with an imposing, protective presence. The body features dense, ink-black fur over a defined muscular build. Its mane around the neck and tail is pure snow-white, shaped like stylized Oriental clouds and flowing calligraphic smoke, creating an airy contrast to the heavy dark body. Majestic feline beast face with furrowed brows, glowing sharp eyes, a fierce yet restrained expression, and a pair of naturally textured curved horns. Powerful limbs end in golden claws with faint metallic luster. Traditional gilded cloud and ruyi patterns trace along its body. Background depicts a traditional Chinese ink-wash landscape with layered distant mountains, swirling misty voids, and thin flowing golden light filaments. Cinematic low-key lighting with soft key and rim light accentuating the fur texture and volume. Chinese ink painting combined with refined digital concept art.
