I think this is a fantastic composition. This makes me think that you've referenced elements from HR Giger's Necronom IX (work 318) in a rather brilliant way without copying it, but one can compare various features between the two paintings quite easily and oddly it looks as if they've continued the trend with the Jurassic World posters since.

Amazing art work and creative battle stance... leaves so much to the imagination...who would win... anything could happen to creat an upset, just like cage fighting, a mistake, lucky opening would turn the tide... I like that Rex has some serious claw marks on neck and face, but now is about to remove the arm of Spino ... anything could happen, sign of great art ... like a movie that has an uncertain ending... keeps one thinking long after the movie ends... great work here!

by the look of things theRex seems to be less injured so my bets on him

The T-Rex is not that tiny :\, and if he bites the leg of Spino like the image, the bones will be crushed and the flesh lacerated. The T-Rex can also rip off Spino's arm easily with his strong neck and powerful bite. Why everyone use the Spino's biggest estimate but uses the T-Rex "Sue"? The T-Rex have a lot of bigger fossils found, but they keep the size of Sue...

Ikr? Who cares? Rexy had her movies

I just don't get why everyone and their mother is bitching about the Spino getting beaten in the picture. Even then, you still have some Rexy fanboys trying to make an issue out of nothing. Like... why can't people just look at the damn picture and appreciate how awesome it looks?

The bite to the spinosaurus left leg alone would have been the end of it, as for its tibia would most certainly break with its calf muscles torn off into 'mush'. Thus causing the spinosaurus to slump to the ground (can additionally severely injure it) which would leave the spinosaurus vulnerable to the tyrannosaurus onslaught of bites.
This is because
1. Tyrannosaurus truly had dramatically powerful gapping jaws

Such force would easily turn spinosaurus tibia into essentially 'mush'
2. Tyrannosaurus had very robust serrated teeth.

Also, based on the robustness of tyrannosaurus skull and its very solid upper-pallet (rare among dinosaurs), it was actually very capable of very violently jerking and shaking its head to cause even more damage and tear off flesh and even potential limbs.

The specialized upper-pallets of tyrannosaurs was especially emphasized by Thomas Holtz as a major difference between tyrannosaurs and carnosaurs

In fact, many paleontologists are now even believe that not only would tyrannosaurus tear off large chunks, smash bones or even sever limbs, but its 'signature finishing move' was evidently decapitation via ripping the heads off their prey.

By the way, the spinosaurus left arm is pretty much done for.

Very excellent texturing and art piece as a whole

T.rex would win, even though spinosaurus was larger t.rex had more powerful bite force

JP3 came out in 2001. That's a long time to carry on a debate as pointless as rex vs spino.

I'm not carrying the debate. You are!

I simply said that not many people care about a debate over a 14 year old movie. One that you are still perpetuating.

What do you think of the new spino reconstruction?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's a sad day for all of those who loved Spino the way he was, like me. It may be pretty accurate but they really need to discover a new Spinosaurus fossil with most of the skeleton in tact to know what exactly it looked liked. They're piecing together to many different specimens. But for now, that's the 'official' look to it and it will be represented that way in Apex from here on out as well.

About time someone didn't like the new reconstructed spino cause i thought i was the only one.

OMG this is how jurassic park 3 was suppose to look like

I think I read somewhere about the T-Rex in 3 being a young adult or something so technically, the Spino didn't kill a real Rex.
Would have been cool if an older Rex came upon the dead one, caught the Spino's scent, tracked it down, and killed it. A little nod to the first movie so to speak.

Yeah what do you think about the new one ???

Why? Rexy had her movies. And why would a random t-rex give any fucks about another t-rex?

True ... and I really like when the T-rex dies, Mr Spino took off the big screen T-rex and people finally got to know about other dinos thanks to that

Love this pic! Not only does it look cool, but it's very impartial. I'm one to believe T.rex would win, but at least this doesn't show either "winning," making it more neutral and likable for both Rex and Spino fans. Well done
