now looking back at this, what other animals have open hole noses and would that make the t.rexs smell better?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Probably all Tyrannosaurids, and any other theropods with a well developed sense of smell. Birds that have open nasal passages belonging to the genus Cathartes "Turkey vultures" are very adept as sensing smells... thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/turkey…

oh wow that's facinating never knew that vultures had noses like that
it's odd that t.rex has features that would point it out as being a scavenger, and yet there's more evidence of it being a hunter, huh weird 
or at least an oppritunic predator (my spelling is bad )

Well, Only the North American vultures have open nasal passages, the African/Asian ones have normal slits, and To clarify, all predators are opportunistic.

oh okay
oops i didn't mean it that way lol
i guess a better word for t.rex instead of opportunistic would be "cannibalistic, don't care what it is i'm hungry" kind of name XD (although still opportunistic like every other predator)

What's ironic is that all predators are cannibalistic too, even some herbivores practice it...

wow really! i mean i know that mother deer eat the stuff that most people call "after birth" (idk what it's called but here's a picture WARNING graphic www.trying-to-conceive.com/wp-…

Many Rodents, Lagomorphs, Birds, Amphibians, and even Primates will eat their young if environmental pressures prove to be unsuitable for their possibly weak offspring. In addition, behavioral infanticide is particularly common in all animals. Also, almost all mammals eat the afterbirth, in addition to transferring nutrients to the unborn offspring; it also serves as energy for mothers after childbirth.

Well, it sure looks nice. ^^

question, did you actually "draw over" scot hartmans reconstruction?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sort of, I use the skeletals mostly for proportions... But yes I do draw over the skeletals

okay thanks, just wondering because i might want to try it.

I love the colors and the feathered arms. I'm not sure I'd expect the fluff to get quite as thick as it is over the shoulders, but we don't know for sure and it looks cool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
For some clarification, that fluff is actually covering a muscular hump similar to the ones Grizzly Bears have, and it definitely looks cool... XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, ok that makes sense. I agree it looks cool

Are there any other skeletals you would like to see fleshed out in my style? I'm currently updating my "Porcuceratops" using your skeletal...

How about one of his dromaeosaurs?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In my opinion, Shartman does not portray his Dromaeosaurs "life-like"... They seem Stretched out, very unlike bird skeletons...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm, well... I think Scott's dromaeosaur skeletals are probably the most accurate that exist right now, in that they represent the actual fossil data as best as they can from known material. Keep in mind that while they share many similarities, dromaeosaurs differ from modern flying birds in a lot of significant ways, and the skeletals reflect that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well the skeletals ARE great for displaying the osteology of the animal... But wouldn't it seem strange that Dromaeosaurs and other Deinonychosaurs held open their forelimbs in such fashion when living?...
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
The thing is, though, the way Scott draws them may indicate just about their maximum range of folding anyway. They definitely could not fold their arms like birds could, lacking the same range of motion in the shoulder and wrist. Here's a post on Dinogoss about arm folding in theropods: [link]

Even in the degree that Sprac'knoog have?...

Large deinonychosaurs may have had stiff arms that couldn't fold properly.

I leave it to your fertile imagination.

omg ... he fluffy XD
i love this reconstruction! his vulture like appearance is outstanding. i wonder what spino will look like
now i wanna do a reconstruction!
i also wanna draw it now :3
XD

Spino's actually uses the Saddle-billed Stork for coloration, like what I did for Fleep's B-day

oh cool, so kinda like humans, they come in different colors?

Maybe, but that's the great thing about paleoart. You never can tell....

What do you think of the flesh-less nasal cavity?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think that's cool! I actually attempted that in my version, but you can't really see it.

Well, honestly never seen a Rex portrayed like this! Great work, you've done the Maastrichtian's most (in)famous predator proud :3
