Description
here is a t rex, and what inspired aspects of it.how would I describe a T. rex? well. I would say it's a cross between an alligator an eagle and a bear.
Part of this chart is that I wanted to put T. rex's size into perspective. It's not even close to the largest animal that ever existed, but it is quite large.
Another thing is that I wanted to show that T. rex can fit in with modern animals
you can see the influences in terms of color
Disclaimer: I do not take credit for the skeletal references used as bases for the silhouettes I make.

Did you mean Rex's lenght or height by " large"? Because if you meant the height, ( As weird as that sounds like.) I can't agree here.

T. rex is only 40' long
several sauropods break 100' long

Size is defined by mass.

Well, in my opinion, that's just plain stupid. For example, that would make Ankylosaurus bigger than Tyrannosaurus, which it wasn't.

Nope. Ankylosaurus was around seven tons and Tyrannosaurus was around nine.

Dude, isn't 9 tons a little too heavy for Tyrannosaurus? Where did you hear that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 4
One thing; 9 tons equates to 8.1 metric tons, which is not too heavy for Tyrannosaurus at all.

Whoops, I meant 9 metric tons.

No dude. A 9 ton Tyrannosaurus isn't too far off. Do you know who Franoys is? Well,Franoys is one of the only reliance sources for theropod (and other dinosaur) mass and length estimates. Like IME said,Sue's estimate was at almost 9,000 kg. Here is some reference www.deviantart.com/franoys/art… as you can see,Sue is almost at the 9 ton range,making Tyrannosaurus rex the biggest theropod not by length,but by mass. So no,9 tons isn't too heavy for a Tyrannosaurus and Ankylosaurus isn't heavier than Tyrannosaurus,with some estimates putting it at 4-5 ton range.

"Dude, regardless of to-date evidence suggesting so, isn't it a little too heavy (as if I'm better than paleontologists/students studying paleontology) for Tyrannosaurus? Where did you hear that?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What do you mean by that exactly?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My main point is that you are denying what to-date information suggests, (as Commie Speeno mentioned) Franoys' GDI analysis, Hartman's (slightly conservative) GDI analysis, and Snively et al. (2018) put Tyrannosaurus at 8-9 tonnes. (FYI this information all comes from paleontologists and a university student who is studying paleontology.)
I was basically repeating what you said (hence the quotation marks), but implying that 9 tons isn't far off and emphasising your fallacies.

Dude, I didn't say it wasn't 8-9 tons, I was just wondering.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You were just wondering when you said "isn't it a little too heavy"?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Franoys' GDI analysis (one of the only reliable sources for skeletal references) puts Sue, the largest specimen of Tyrannosaurus, at 8828 kg. 9 tons isn't that much of a stretch.

?
not sure what you mean.
this is a kodiak brown bear

Understood
I meant Grizzly Bear's Subspecies of Siberia; I mean Kamchatka
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamchatk…
Sorry for the misunderstanding

I still don't understand though....
"How about Siberian Grizzly Size ?"
? as in how about using this bear's size?
or something else?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes; I meant to ask Did you used Siberian Grizzly Bear's size; Sorry about the misunderstanding.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Is this the largest size of a t.rex or an average t.rex?... Sorry for my english.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
We Don't have a statistically valid sample of Specimens
To conduct an "average" size figure for the specices.

your English is fine 
it's a max size rex, just a few inches longer than sue
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Bigger than Sue? I thougt that he has the size of Stan, with a heigh of just 3.3meters and a lenght of just a little bit over 11 meters. Even Scott's model of Sue which is slightly smaller than the skeleton in the museum is bigger.

I scaled her next to him. he is a little longer

The colour pattern is very nice and the face are too cute^^ nice job

this is by far, my most favorite color scheme out of all the rexs you designed thus far. great work

So what's the color of an alligator or crocodile? I'm Re-designing my Rex.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
American alligators are dark grey with a light(white) underside and there is some yellow in there too.
and crocodiles can be anywhere from green to grey to brown to bright orange
