Thoughts on this T Rex design?

>>4991699 (OP)
Am I the only one who isn't a fan of this design? He looks too short and fat, his head isn't wide and square enough and his face looks too derpy.

Fag lips. In the trash it goes.

>>4991699 (OP)
Bland texture and it looks like they made it look even fatter than usual

>>4991699 (OP)
It’s pretty good contrary to what paleoschizo would tell you

>>4991726
I'm not paleoschizo, I just think T Rex should look a lot more menacing than this.

>>4991728
This is literally the most menacing T. rex in media

boring and not speculative enough (in a cool way). Gimme some cooler keratinous horns, facial scars, predator eyes, etc. Plain Jane design

>>4991699 (OP)
bad design, since there are no known surviving models

>>4991734
>Diabetes figure
>Short legs, looks about as tall as a middle schooler
>Face is too thin and looks derpy af

Prehistoric Kingdom (pic related) did it much better.

>>4991743
Forgot pic

>>4991743
Doesn’t look very thin or short to me in other shots

>>4991744
That’s not menacing at all

>>4991744
Nerd emoji lookin ahh teef

>>4991734
It looks like it would suck me off for a dimebag.

>>4991707
What's gay about them?

>>4991781
You think about that a lot do you

>>4991699 (OP)
Chunky boi

>>4991699 (OP)
>no pink eyeshadow
not scientifically accurate

>>4991852
Except that's Albertosaurus with the pink eyeshadow so your joke falls flat.

>>4991699 (OP)
It's good. The one from Prehistoric Kingdom is better

I saw this thread yesterday and knew it was going to get a hundred responses. sigh.

>cope peach fuzz
>too much of the eye exposed
>boring color scheme tarbosaurus looked better
>no cracked facial skin
not the anti christ but not perfect either, fleshy sue and the new path of titans rex look better.

>>4991852
Looks worse than Walking with Dinosaurs (2013)

>>4991857
T. rex having pink eye shadow can be inferred through phylogenetic bracketing

>>4991950
Sue and the PK rex don’t have cracked face skin either

Fuck paleotroons, T Rex looked like pic related, not a fat, feathered, ugly tub of lard that looks like it was made of clay. Nothing will convince me otherwise.

>>4991699 (OP)
Seems like a pretty chill guy.

>>4992263
Forgot pic

>>4991701
T. rex probably would've overheated with them as an adult.

>>4992271
>muh movie monster
dinosaur fags will never let us forget their interest is mostly for edgy 8 year old boys who still think real animals are boring

>>4992287
Science proves that all dinosaurs had feathers.

>>4992297
It's possible they lost them as they grew. Think like elephants.

>>4992271
>>4992289
Eh that pic doesn't seem that inaccurate, other than some artistic flair to give off a "bleak terrifying situation" vibe.

>>4992271
There is actually nothing inaccurate about your pic

>>4992333
>>4992312
its too skinny, malnourished looking, like a neglected zoo animal or an old one that's about to die.

large animals need extra muscle to move their asses around, and extra guts to handle all the extra everything (food, parasites, bacteria, cancer) that comes with being bigger. tissue maintains tissue. lean builds are for mid sized creatures. t. rex was not built like a wolf. t. rex had bulk, like a lion.

>>4992335
t. rex was also a lame scavenger and enjoyed gay sex, like a lion

>>4992335
Okay, lions don't look fat either, don't see why T Rex has to look ike a hippo.

>>4992338
T. Rex was fat like a hippo, mostly scavenged, relied on females to provide him with food, and preferred gay sex. Just like a lion.

Cry moar chud.

>>4992340
Facts: checked. The bible says dinosaurs went extinct because of homosexuality.

>>4992271
>T Rex had yellow Sith eyes, tiger stripe colouration, and menacing red glowing gashes across it's face and neck

>>4992358
That's why it's called Acquired Immuno-Dinosaur Syndrome

>>4992366
>menacing red glowing gashes across it's face and neck
Battle scars
>yellow Sith eyes, tiger stripe colouration
There's no evidence pointing to the contrary either.

>>4992368
It was originally called DRIDS (Dinosaur Related Immuno Deficiency Syndrom) but they changed because it was deemed politically incorrect.

>>4992335
Why do people pull the skinny/shrink wrapped excuse literally everytime a T Rex isn't as wide as their moms. T Rexes were usually like 6 feet wide, and the one in the art gets pretty close to that.

>>4991699 (OP)
Needs more spikes and a cool sword

Why did T.Rex use its tiny arms for?

>>4992366
Correct.

>>4991699 (OP)
obeast

>>4992271
Okay manchild, go back to your childhood dino books.

>>4991699 (OP)
Looks like a bloated bipedal lump. Should look like pic related.

>>4991699 (OP)
I imagine something like this

>>4992309
Elephants are quite hairy.

>>4992537
My personal uneducated retard take, but I think it's just at the point where they're small enough not to impede the trex's max size but retaining just enough (shitty) utility that it doesn't lose them entirely.
Shitty last line of defense for anything that gets past its jaws ect. Better to have a few mobile claws on your vulnerable underbelly than nothing at all.

>>4992537
They were probably more useful when they were younger and helped smaller rexes pick themselves back up.

>>4991699 (OP)
I think it's ok. This one's better

>>4992366
>tiger stripe coloration
Lol dude look at OP.

>>4993251
It doesn’t have tiger stripes

>>4992366
Sorry bro, this is nature.
Also even for the small sample size of T. rex as we have with all other theropods, there's a remarkable amount of battle scars and evidence for fierce intraspecific fighting. These things were getting bloodied and injured a lot.

>>4991699 (OP)
Im a 34 year old man and im still upset at the reality I'll never actually see one.

>>4993253
confirmed: tyrannosaurs were mostly scavengers and didnt have to be super fit to feed, so they spent all their time fighting each other like big retarded hyenas

>>4993256
Sounds pretty cool, a 13 ton mountain of flesh and teeth ripping into each other like two sea lions at a beach.
Anyway cope, hyenas and lions both hunt a lot.

>>4993253
>dumbass droopy lips
>gay haircut
>blood added to try make an oversized furball look scary
Why do paleoartists do this?

>>4992289
8 year old boys make you seethe?

>>4992271
This really upset the paleotrannies.

>>4993023
This is probably the most "scientifically accurate" reconstruction out there that pretty much everyone can get on board with, and yet its totally underutilized and everyone has to have their "own take" on it, as if this was an art class and not hard science.

>>4993473
Another by the same studio.

>>4993473
That's a very good point. Everyone should just copy that one

>>4993473
But it has no peach fuzz. How can it be hecking scientifically accurate if it has no feathers?

>>4993474
Another, less pronounced scutes/scaleplates here, I quite like it.

All of these are shit because they show the T-Rex with small arms

REAL tyrannosauruses had big arms you freaks
Get it right

>>4991728
Lions, bears, wolfs and tigers arent scary and yet they could kill you
>B-but crocs
Crocs arent that scary

>>4993023
Is that little dino, ok?

What i don't get is why you would consciously choose to make your T. rex non-threatening when you could make it threatening and still be accurate to what is known about the animal

God these retards are so fucking annoying.

>>4993645
Lemme clarify; they were mad about the T Rex roaring in the scene. (Even though it wasn't, those were just bellows and screeches)

>>4991705
Real Trex looked like an oversized delicious chicken and you can't persuade me otherwise.

>>4992271
Based. What a cool design.

why the fuck does he even have arms at that point? what the fuck is he grabbing with those microdrick grippers

>>4993667
>feathers
>sinus infection
>pink
Not even close

No fuck that, T-Rexs looked exactly like in Jurassic Park in real life, and all the other dinosaurs looked like they did in the movie too. The whole "they're not dinosaurs they're geneticly designed monsters" bullshit from Jurassic world was just so the gay faggot feathered woke dinosaur lobby would get off their ass, but speilburg knew the truth, and anyone who tries to say badass cool T-Rexs were fat or had feathers deserves to be publicly executed

>>4994911

What's with the pink?
Also, trex didn't have short hands, but short stupid wings.

>>4991699 (OP)
Legs are too short. No sense of scale. Looks 4 feet tall. Very mammalian, also very mammalian looking fat. Looks like a mammal.

>>4992366
>speculative paleoart is a-okay as long as the archosaurian animal is acting mammalian and has trans flag colours

>>4997417
yes because dinosaurs are stupid and it's time you finally realized that and moved on to a real animal instead of a theoretical birdlike lizard known only from bones, usually fragmentary

please get out of paleontology and leave it to being the relatively useless ivory tower shit it is meant to be, and always is outside of mesozoic slop

>>4997368
Lack of scale is a problem i had with Prehistoric Planet. Only god knows why they decided to take a scene of two gigantic building sized monsters fighting and place it in an empty wasteland with nothing to compare their size with

>>4991699 (OP)
>>4991705

It's an accurate depiction
>his head isn't wide and square enough
But it actually is
Go look at the front profile of a tyrannosaurus rex skull and you will see

>>4999055
Your pic looks nothing like op’s pic…. For starters the lower jaw is way too skinny in op’s compared to your pic

>>4999675
Were it gets wider is the back of the jaw. The lower front of the jaw isn't as wide. That is what a lot of Tyrannosaurus Rex skulls look like, and of course the muscle will change the shape of the head somewhat, but that is how some T. Rex heads and jaws would had looked like in the flesh. It is a good depiction. OP's pic and my pic are the same, except OP's has flesh on it

The width of an Tyrannosaurus Rex skull will vary. It depends on the subspecies and individual, and sexual dimorphism might play a factor too but no one knows that for sure. Obviously, the width of the skull broadens with age, it's an adult trait. So the expression of that trait will vary. You do see many Rex skulls exactly like that. You have to keep in mind also that the bones can warp before they become completely fossilised
Here is a 3D model of a real specimen, as another example: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/tyrannosaurus-rex-nhmw-geo-1998z00490001-816d1a0d27e146669f09e6fc2d260dc7

>>4999055
I wonder what those muscles would taste like

>>4999815
Again the 3d image you showed me shows a large thick lower jaw, and that’s just the bones as you said, imagine with more meat it would be huge. but in op’s pic it’s very skinny. The entire snout looks too skinny.

>>4999847
It looks the exact same

>nooo my trannysaurus doesn't have pink eye shadow!
>it's jaw isn't like my toy T.Rex!!! I HATE IT
>bu-but it doesn't look like le Jurassic Park rex!
>no my overgrown lizard looks FAT and not like Arnold Schwarzenegger like in my heckin moovierinos! 0/10!
>ummm WHERE IS THE FEATHERS!?!??!?
>OMG OMG OMG IT HAS TINY FEATHERS OMG I'M HAVING A PANIC ATTACK NOOO THIS CAN'T HAPPEN NOOOOOOO NOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I DON'T LIKE FEATHERS I DON'T LIKE IT I DON'T LIKE IT I DON'T LI-

One part musculature, one part she developed an eating disorder after losing all her feathers.

Kamala Harris voters want color, girth, and lips. Trump voters want gray, lean, and teeth. Which one is it? The truth is always somewhere between CNN and Fox News. Did it DSL lips or meth head grill. Was it dressed pride parade or a church on Sunday. Did it have a gut or was it chiseled to the bone. Who the fuck knows, flesh doesn't fossil well so y'all going keep arguing.

>>5000341
a mormon trex is very amusing to me

>>5000348
Sorry I deleted it then :p

Here I added some pregnancy to the leftist one but chatgpt wouldn't give it that deviant Art look

I find it absurd that paleoartists think dinosaurs had such a perfect diet that they could be fat. The Jurassic Park design feels more realistic than this one. Most wild animals are skinny, and you can see their ribs.

>>5000491
T. Rex was a bone crushing scavenger. Hyenas and bears are usually a bit chunky because they activated the infinite food hack.

It most likely wasn't even fast or smart enough to be an effective hunter. It could try, sometimes, but the majority of its diet came from scavenging.

>inb4 smaller dinosaurs would get there first cope
Rex had a great sense of smell and could sweep a carcass clean of theropodlets just by turning around slowly.
>inb4 he would have to walk for days to find a large kill! cope
They hung around areas of heightened activity, ie: following herds, retard.

>>4993661
I've had this exact scenario happen except it was a frog, not a mouse. Same type of chicken, too. The rest of my chickens chased her for 20 minutes trying to steal the frog.
