Description
So I took a 1hr Β break from work to do something else, I couldn't think of anything else but to draw another t-rex. I guess I'll use this design for my 'Mesozoic Land' project.Related content

How many hours does it take for you to make this? It looks absolutely amazing!Β

Something about the way the lighting meets the texture of the snout is truly organic and beautiful. This is one of the few T-rex that I've seen that feel avian without being overtly so, giving it a eerie predatory presense without ripping off avian raptors. I feel a connection to this Rex, I want to reach out and feel it's snout. Terrific work. Β

The biggest eagles have these feathers the size of a human arm. Forming a scale-like pattern (because this is what feathers are - scales, basically).
Take a look at this

It's not even clear these are feathers. If I was from another planet, I would say they're scales for sure.
And yet artists choose to go with "furry" small strokes. Feathers are not fur. You generally don't confuse a bird with a dog.Β
Small areas on the head sometimes look like hair, but then again, birds have good hair-stylists:

Except this isn't based off feathers of a modern raptor. The fluff on my rex here are based off ratite feathers, take a closer look at the heads and necks of emus and ostriches. Stage 1 feathers that very much resemble hair or fur.Β wonderopolis.org/_img?img=/wp-β¦ Β upload.wikimedia.org/wikipediaβ¦
Those eagle feathers could be of good use if I decided to illustrate Dromaeosaurids. Yet this is a Tyrannosaurid so you're showing me the wrong reference. I appreciate it though.

I see you have your the science behind it, that I respect. )
Personally I think ostriches and are seriously de-evolved and since they're not predators, not much is required from them. They are Big Lebowski slackers, walking around in rags, they just do not care. CarnivoresΒ - they have to be smart, and keep themselves in a good physical and evolutionary shape. But again, I see know what you're doing, great work.

Tyrannosaurs had primitive ratite-like feathers, primitive, stage 2 feathers. ratites don't simply not care for themselves, their feathers have secondarily simplified since they don't need them for flight and are easier too maintain.

This is amazing, I just have a question. Do T-rex have feathers on them? That would be cool xD

Like the bitemark pattern and various injuries, I think old scars and such don't show up enough in dino art. Do you read Prehistoric Times? They had a great article on that once.
So glad you're still doing Mesozoic Land, your dinosaurs are awesome

Is that a magazine? in that case I have't read that since I have no access to that in my country. However, I watch documentaries on youtube and it's pretty obvious that most predators including t-rex got into conflict with each other whether for food, territory or mating.

Yeah, it's probably the only magazine in existence devoted solely to dinosaurs. Shame you can't get it.

This looks amazing! Proof that a rex can still maintain the fierce predator appearance with plumage.

Nice to see some accurate dinos, especially on one of the major DA feeds!Β
