Description
There's absolutely no hint of it in the fossil record, but since feathered dinosaurs became established fact I've loved the idea of Tyrannosaurus having a big, feathered mane. Purely for show, I might imagine that this already massive predator could use such a mane for intimidation, particularly if it was trying to scavenge an easy kill from another predator.
Here we see two bull Tyrannosauruses at the start of a conflict. Right now it's all bellowing and posturing, but might it become more violent in a few moments?

Not as happy with this one as prior work, I spent time trying to get the shading down but it was not clicking. Love the pattern that formed on the rexes but the piece is missing some key bit of dynamism that I could not find or capture.
Still, had this image in my head for a while, and it's nice to get out on paper even if it's not the peak of perfection, hah.
