Splendid work. The colouration looks great and design looks great.
Also, I'm just wondering why you decided to added feathers even though it is not likely that it had any?

I disagree with the notion that it's not likely it had any. Technically the most parsimonious option would be mostly scaly but integument is very plastic evolutionarily, so there certainly would've been quite a bit of variation in tyrannosaurids.
Claiming an entire clade was 100% scaly because of some scraps of preserved scaly skin from several distinct taxa on different parts of the body is very very shaky.

Your point makes a lot of sense.
Also personally, I do think that the later tyrannosaurids probably
did have some sort of a feather coating. I was saying my statement as a majority of people think that
they were unfeathered because of the Wyrex specimen that you mention and Saurian's Rex redesign.

Wyrex is scaly on a few places but it's not like we know it was entirely scaly.

Just a minor nitpick, but the tracks we have from Tarbosaurus show that the toe claws should touch the ground.
