The catapult looks good so far and the lion height field actually looks
better than I was expecting when I read your description of how it was
created. I think a mesh modelled lion is the best option but if you are
like me (I have no mesh modelling experience at all) I think you could get
away with using a blob I have used these for modelling organic looking
shapes in some images when the detail level does not need to be very high.
The closest I have come to a lion with a blob is on the image below, you
can have the source if you want (but I am sure you could find a better lion
than this one somewhere).
