Good work with textures! Love the neck, the transition from feathers to bare skin (or scales?) on the neck.

Wow, Alectrosaurus no less!
I've spent AGES searchin' the net for a good reference to draw this guy... Was he a tyrannosauroid (sort of like Dryptosaurus, Yutyrannus and such) or he was more derived?

Its closest relative was actually Xiongguanlong according to Loewen et al.

It was a tyrannosauroid of a similar grade toΒ DryptosaurusΒ andΒ Appalachiosaurus.

It's been on my to-do list for a long time, too. The way you've drawn it, it's looking great.

tis based on that of a cape vulture. I like referencing vultures for tyrannosauroids.

Lovely! I really like the feather texture that you're using lately.

Thank you! Yeah the technique is working for me lately, though I think it looks better on the Guanlong than it does here.
