Tyrannosaurus rex - up to date art

DINOSTEVE93 - How very neat! I greatly enjoy the feathered look you've applied to this animal; it provides a more interesting aspect that I find compelling! The raven-black coloration you've chosen for the feathers, coupled with the russet-red skin of the animal's face, lend it a very intimidating appearance! Thank you so very much for taking the time to produce and share this with us! :)

it good but it reminds me of something off of The New Dinosaurs: An Alternative Evolution

Good quality, though I do think the feathers are a bit heavy. But good work as usual.

The feathers aren't essentially that long. the feathers are averagely 30cm (15inches) long. The T.rex is just very bulky. That plus feathers, here, you have long looking feathers, although they're not really.

Thanks guys!

That looks awesome. Kind of like the rex from hack horners "valley of the t.rex" but feathered. I guess the arms are covered in the thick feathers.this truly would be a pretty yet impressive and of course horrifiying experience to see if one were chasing you. dont you agree?

It's nice, but I read somewhere that adult Tyrannosauruses don't have feathers.

Sci-Fi, hard to say. I personally see them as having some on the heads/necks, arms, and tails for display. Males having brighter feathers than females.

^I see the adults as having a light down covering the neck, end of tail, and arms. They probably were born with them, and slowly lost them as they matured. However, an adult with feathers on those areas seems very realistic.

I actually like it!!! Good work, Steve!

Chicken rex?  More like turkey vulture rex if you ask me, that plumage and skin is taken straight from a turkey vulture's external anatomy.

I am not used to seeing a completely feathered T.rex, but b/c it is an interpretation that is based on valid conjecture, I can see it happening.  But until we find some T.rex fossils with feather imprints, we won't know for sure if it ever had feathers.

Still though, having a 7 ton vulture-esque creature with powerful jaws, armour-piercing teeth, and feet that could squash you is a really terrifying thought... 

Interesting. I have mixed feelings about it. I prefer Rex with a crest over full body coverage. 

That's a very interesting, and neat take on Rexy.....and we know how much you love feathers DinoSteve! ;)

Still nice Dinosteve. I remember when you first showed me that image on the PK forums. It was a shock at first, I won't deny that. Also didn't you say that you were also modifying it later? With white feathers and some other details? Can't wait to see that image. :D

Looks great! But dont you think if Rex did have feathers they would be a variety of bright colors or a mix of dark colors used for camouflage?
