Description
This is my first T. rex drawing. This scene is a request by and is based on a drawing by a good friend and paleoartist, Amin Khaleghparast. Both Amin and Mr. Brett Booth have provided many helpful hints about Trex anatomy. I had no idea tyrannosaurs where so complicated to draw, lots of textures. This is not the picture he requested, this is one of many versions that I kept during the scene's development. It is embellished with elements I wanted to include, especially the Dromaeosaurus. The original picture is still a work in progress.Hope you all like it.
Thanks,
Blair

Yeah, there's still huge amount of skepticism about life in prehistoric period- just simply because there is about .001% of life fossilized, while the rest never get to formed into petrified state. With that percentage, we can naturally assume what may be like in those periods.
Damn, yeah! Awesome rendering there for sure! I strive to better my skills in paleo-art, as right now, I'm studying it. Psithyrus is years ahead of me on that

Are you sure? Tyrannosaurus lived about as late into the Cretaceous as you can get.

Yeah, up to about 65.5 MYA, just when flowering plants start to diversify. There might have been flowers during the beginning of cretaceous but very small number of species, 145 MYA.

Hi guys,
Highly social bee species were found in amber which does indicate that large floral sources must have existed close to their colonies, perhaps these sources were trees, shrubs and no doubt herbs, I don't know about daisies however. Daisies are objects I really like to paint, there almost my trademark!.
Thanks,

Still a creative take on the prehistoric scene. Big mean brute on something so delicate calls on some creativity

Thanks,
I am hoping to learn from folks. Flowering plants go back about 110 million years (early Cretaceous), but daisies and other Asteracea may have been preceded by T rex. Not sure! I just love daisies and dandelions, and sunflowers too. I'll probably find some way to work them into my next picture. Thanks for help!
Cheers,
Blair

There are small varieties that may have existed during the time of T. Rex but it is doubtful that they grew all over the plain- probably started out as small colonies of plants. They have to compete for spots that has been occupied by generations of conifers and relatives. A whole field of them does not look plausible for me, maybe small bunches here and there would make picture better. It's your work and you decide what you like to do, and it's still awesome
