Description
Stokesosaurus clevelandi with a colour palette inspired by cheetahs, leopards and some species of varanid lizards because I think they fit it's ecology.It was probably a relatively fast runner compared to the other species in the formation. Given it's size (~5m) it may have hunted Drinker, Othnielosaurus, (Subadult)Dryosaurus, Ornitholestes, Fruitadens and other small-ish critters.
I do not own references used, they belong to

Stokesosaurus is one the lead character in my future novel Dominant . This is also one of my favorite tyrannosauroid! Cool depiction though!

Nope, actually slightly over 5m going by Hartman's skeletal.

Exuse me good sir, but I have to highly disagree with your depiction. An highly accurate and updated source(zootycoon.wikia.com/wiki/Stoke… , or www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lymqhl… ), stokesosaurus was an apex predator "capable of killing much larger animals than itself, including Carnotaurus , Utahraptor ,Stegosaurus and Tyrannosaurus Rex "(zootycoon.wikia.com/wiki/Stoke… ).
Was I enought sarcastic?

The cheetah/lizard colors are pretty! I tend to color my Stokesosaurus like a secretary bird myself.

Thanks! I think that colour scheme would also fit really well.

I think it has to do with how I tend to think of the Morrison Formation as like the African savanna and for some reason I picture Stokesosaurus filling the secretary bird niche.

I think it's niche would be much closer to that of a cheetah or leopard.

Yeah, that sounds about right too.

It's beautiful! The choice of basing the patterns on spotted felidae and varanids is very 90's but it really works and it feels right! It has a bit of a mark Hallet feeling. Way to go!

Thanks! I just gave it a colour scheme that I thought made the most sense for it's ecology.

And it indeed makes quite a lot of sense! ^^
