Description

After a lot of thinking, I decided to call quits on the short comic this guy was a part of. You can read the comic plus my reasons here. Still wanted to post the design, though, because I do like it. The feathering is that extensive because I didn't like the divided surfaces I got from a smaller feather coat. It was easier to design something cohesive on a big patch of the sameΒ integument.

He's a 100% made up fantasy theropod with features from more than a few different branches.

Is he a Tyrannosaur?

No, he's made up.

I meant who is he related to?

He's just a mix of traits from various theropods, not a speculative creation meant to fit into any particular branches.

A mix of Tyrannosaurs and Carcharodontosaurs or Neovenatorids?

I drew inspiration from Albertosaurus, Deinocheirus, Allosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus, owls and probably a few other things I don't remember off the top of my head.

Looks more like you got the Arms from Megaraptor, another Carnosaur.

No, I didn't.

Are you sure? Because the arms don't look Ornithomimid to me. Maybe more like that of Megaraptor, or even Marshosaurus.

Yes, I'm sure. A design process is not just cutting and pasting bits 1:1. Multiple animals may be used for one element and then further tweaked to fit the particular design.

Oh I love this design, the patterns are very lovely and I really like the feather distribution as well. It's a shame you didn't finish the comic though...

Thanks a lot! I'm quite fond of how he turned out, myself. And hey, even if the comic's not getting off the ground, I still have this design and may be able to use it for something in the future!

I hope you do, the design is simply too awesome not to use.
