Description
This was a sketch I found in my notes whilst studying during exams. Why semi true? Because yes the feathers were on them, but ... penaceous feathers on the face, not so much, would have been more like fluffy down. Does this ruin t-rex's image? I have heard this argument a lot, and well my opinion is... go back in time and walk up to one and then decide if the feathers change your opinion on whether or not coming face to face with something that's happy to take a munch out of you is still scary or not.Think... cassowary
Besides, if as a kid like me, you ever had the silly dream to mount these things as your trusty steads, it would at least be just that much more comfortable.

It looks awesome! And I totally agree with you: if I were faced with a T-Rex, I'd run screaming in the other direction, wether it had floof or not! ^_^

This looks fantastic. Β I'm on a bit of a dino kick at the moment (all sorts of new discoveries in paleontology) Β I love how seamless the transition from scale to feather is. Β It may not be 100% accurate (feathers of that size would leave "quill marks" on the animal's skull. Β more likely its feathers were short and soft like down) but nothing in paleontology is certain anyway. Β Still, if I find someone saying that says feathers "ruin" dinosaurs, I'll point them to this picture.

Fluffdragon is not amused with your inadequate tributes of individually packaged snackfoods
heheh, after playing Final Fantasy VI and XII, I could never look at Tyrannosaurids without thinking "Totally a flightless bipedal dragon"Β ^^
Mmm I'd prefer an utahraptor for my mounted companion, but a rex would be more like... Like a prehistoric version of a War Elephant
Point it in the direction of your enemies then steer clear of its way!

lol yes there are many other big therepods I like, I just chose trex cause it was easy and cliche
but yes... deciding an armed force on carnivourous dinos would be awesome, thoguh admittedly on size and extra armor and spikes etc, I think herbivores have it all over carnivores ^^

True true, most people choose the carnivores because they've got that 'awe factor' to them - you see a big angry thing with teeth chasing you down and it's hard to retain your composure heh. x3

Time is a bit ambiguous as it was a sketch during study, so I cant really remember, but probably around 2 hours would be my best estimate
And thankyou! I really appreciate that ^^
