FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Minimalist hand-drawn 2D animation" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Minimalist hand-drawn 2D animation". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Minimalist hand-drawn 2D animation" idiom, not in any other medium.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Cave Lion: A massive prehistoric cave lion with dark tawny fur, muscular build, sharp glowing yellow eyes, and large predatory fangs, emerging from tall savannah grass.
