Description
Yucatán Peninsula, northeastern Mexico.
End Cretaceous period, 66 million years ago.
-3 seconds to impact.

On a coastline not far from Ground Zero, a pack of Tyrannosaurus are on the prowl. As they comb the beach for prey or carrion, they slowly become aware of a bright light in the sky above. It grows brighter and brighter, closer and closer. The light becomes so intense that it make their skin appear translucent and burns flash frames of their shadows onto the ground. It sears their eyes to look at it, blinding them, and it’s radiant heat burns their skin.

The pack have barely any time to react as the fireball comes crashing down from the heavens towards the nearby sea, it’s light filling the entire sky. The sonic boom it generates as it punches it’s way down through the air is enough to deafen any animal within range. The tyrannosaurs, along with every other living thing in the immediate vicinity will be dead within seconds...

Figured I’d release part 4 a bit sooner than I initially planned. Just to keep the ball rolling, I guess.

I’m much happier with how the lighting in this scene turned out, unlike with the last one. Really made a greater effort to capture the brightness of the asteroid as it was coming down, to really capture how it must’ve looked in real life.

Also, I was going for a bit of speculation with the inclusion of these tyrannosaurs here. The ones shown in this scene aren’t really supposed to be T.rex, but rather a closely related species within the same genus. I had seen a post written on Luis V. Rey’s blog a while back about possible large tyrannosaurid remains being found in Mexico (luisvrey.wordpress.com/2017/01… ), hence their inclusion here. While no confirmed fossil remains from the genus Tyrannosaurus have been found, it’s entire possible that Tyrannosaurus were present in Mexico at the end of the Cretaceous.
