And more concretely FMNH PR 2081, also known as "Sue".

In the light of recent discoveries I thought it was a good moment to update again my Tyrant lizard, specially in regards to its integument. The feather coat is more extensive than the older versions (but less than Yutyrannus, as it seems natural) and also differently arranged. Something that doesn´t convince me about some feathered Tyrannosaurus depictions I´ve seen around (including my own) is how the feathers look almost uniformly long and thick all along the body, and the transition between those and the scaly or naked skin seem too abrupt, giving some sense of artificiality. I felt like some kind of layered, messy (following the example of some ratite birds) and different sized feather arrangement that progressively becomes more sparse until it vanishes in the underside of the body could work better, and help to make the feathers look more realistic and integrated into the animals body. Lets hope it could also help someone to become more accepting of this -once thought- wild and unlikely concept of fuzzy big theropods...

Nicely done

BTW, didn't mention it; this is for Tyrannosaurus what this ([link]) is for Allosaurus. One of my favourite reconstructions of the animal, if not the best I've seen.

~Durbed Apr 22, 2012

That´s a big compliment. Thanks man.

I like the feathery look. ^^

~Durbed Apr 22, 2012

~SaberToothedCatsFan Apr 14, 2012
