Banyan tree, the house of ancient gods.

It was the birthday (international day) of each of these three big guys during the past months, and I didn't draw anything! So I got them together to celebrate them once and for all <3

[ID: digital drawing of a tiger, a leopard with it's panther variation and a clouded leopard in a yellow background. There are plants around them that are native to their habitats in Asia: a sacred fig branch, water lilies and a banyan fig branch. The tiger is laying down and looking at the viewer, it has a rather serious expression; the leopard is floating but seemingly coming down from above and looking forward, the melanistic specimen is identical to it like a shadow, and drawn behind like so, you can see it's darker spots, this one, though, looks back at the viewer. The clouded leopard also looks like it's laying down, but it's expression seems kinder, it's visibly smaller thank the other two. The sacred fig branch is above the tiger, it's light green and the leaves are thin and curved at the edges, the stems are cream-yellow and also very thin, it has yellow, round and small fig fruits. The water lilies are above and below the leopard, and above the clouded one; they have slightly lilac flowers and the circular leaves are of many sizes. Lastly, the banyan fig branch is at the bottom right of the drawing, it's leaves look rounder and thicker than the sacred's, and also shinier, as well as its stems; this one's figs are red. End ID]

Lion international day came up the day after I started this, but it had been kinda hard to get the composition initially, so I didn't include them. Sorry, lions.

There are alternative versions under the cut: one with a different background color and versions without the panther, like I had initially planned
