Description
Largest of the terrestrial teapots, the ancient Apotasaurus is known only from fossilized pot shards, and was misclassified for many years as Bronteasaurus.Scientists conjecture that the Apotasaurus lived in small herds, feeding from the tender leaves at the tops of trees. While few predators could hope to tackle one of these giants, they lived in fear of their chief foe, the Tea-Rex.
...a little doodle in my sketchbook, mostly to get the pun out of my head. Original sold!
(No, I probably won't draw the Tea-Rex. I tried. It's a tough body shape to fit to a teapot.)

I had a lot of fun telling my friends about the teacock and the crockpotodile, so when I saw the apotasaurus, I was like "Whoo! More puns to drive them nuts with!"

This makes me giggle so hard. I am trying desperately at this moment not to actually make said teapot.

(smiles genially) You may be one of the few artists on devART who can rack up triple-digit fav totals for something posted in Scraps only a half day ago.

The tea-rex in my mind looks like a very fat earless bunny.
But also like a brightly colored ceramic teapot with a metal lid. The ones that don't really have proper spouts.
I like seeing the process in the sketch,it's not perfectly clean and polished.

Cute! I've just got some brown (and black, and gray) paper but haven't had the chance to use it yet.
As for the tea-rex, have you tried flipping it around, like this ?

how is it tough? you have a teapot-shaped body and two extrusions, one of which has teeth which could easily become a handle
lol I see someone else already suggested this

these teapots are well equipped to brew the finest tea from the tender leaves at the top of tea bushes

ooh good one! They eat leaves, and it turns into tea. *claps* you win!

I dunno, I could kind of sea the Tea-Rex as being more of a mug, than a pot. It does feed on the teapots after all

What if you did the Tea Rex backwards, with the spout being the tail? (Just saying..)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, that's an interesting thought! The big problem was getting the big blocky head, which doesn't go well with a spout, but it might work as a handle...

what about tall tea jugs? [link]
I can see this as a Stegasaurous type: Steamasaurous? [link]
I just love this theme!

D'aw, they're cute.
Hehe, even if you don't draw it, the Tea-Rex still sounds hilarious.
