Edit 2: So the tiger/lion beast is Zouwu, who J.K. Rowling borrowed from Classic of Mountains and Seas, basically ancient China's version of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. The depictions of the beasts are suppose to remind the local audience of beasts in that book. Here's some of the character designs by the same artist for Big Fish & Begonia, an animated film which also took most of its creatures from that same book.

The artist is Zhang Chun. He also did a series of posters for the beasts here.
Edit: Here’s the cast with the poster made into a 7-part panel screen https://mobile.twitter.com/WizardWho/status/1056715287091793920/photo/1
