Description Finished drawing of a Tyrannosaurus rex - Sue. Sue is a Tyrannosaurus rex specimen from which the most famous well-preserved skeleton. It was discovered in South Dakota, August 12, 1990. His nickname dinosaur was named in honor of discoverer, Susan Hendrickson. After the discovery of the skeleton and the subsequent excavations have been disagreements over the ownership of a dinosaur. In the end, the court ruled that Sue belongs to a farmer, the owner of the land where it was discovered. In the end, he sold her skeleton to the Field Museum of natural history in Chicago (USA). There you can see the skeleton of Sue, menacingly towering over the visitors.

Length of Sue is more than 12 meters and a weight of 6.1-9.5 tons (estimates vary). At the time of death she was 28 years old. Most often it is believed that this individual is a female, but to determine her sex need further study.

EDIT: added glares on her face and other background.

I love it! Although I feel that the jaw is under-muscled, and im not the biggest fan of the colours. Otherwise I really like it!

LythroA In reply to Xiphactinus [2016-07-28 00:52:36 +0000 UTC]

The colours, for me, are too garish and bright. I would expect a mix of browns and blacks for a T. rex, not these amber and red colours. Nonetheless the piece is outstanding.

Possible. Perhaps the role played by the scanner. Bad scanner!  But... Thanks again.

Физиономия хорошо получилась (губы я сам примерно так же представляю), а вот всякие складки и морщины на боках - это, пожалуй, излишне. И вот текстура кожи - это типа чешуя? Как минимум на хвосте у них найдены отпечатки голой кожи, как у ощипанной курицы.

Xiphactinus In reply to Sumlax [2016-06-17 07:39:03 +0000 UTC]

Складки и морщины не лишние, наверняка они были. Кожа покрыта мелкой чешуёй, собственно она и видна на отпечатках. Точнее, это даже не рептильная чешуя, а просто многочисленные мелкие бугорки.

Sumlax In reply to Xiphactinus [2016-06-17 11:02:39 +0000 UTC]

Вот я и говорю - текстура, как у ощипанной курицы, то есть даже до типичной динозавровой чешуи не дотягивает. Во всяком случае, мне известно только о таком отпечатке кожи рекса.
А что до складок - сильно сомневаюсь, это всё же не носорог какой-нибудь.

Не верите, что были складки кожи? А вы на варана посмотрите)

Наличие "птичьей" чешуи ничего об отсутствии складок не говорит.

Sumlax In reply to Xiphactinus [2016-06-18 12:54:55 +0000 UTC]

Я к тому, что вараны - так себе аналогия. Уж не знаю, что за фишка у них с этой дряблой кожей, но большинству наземных позвоночных она не свойственна, особенно если эти эти позвоночные от ящериц весьма далеки филогенетически.
Ну а вообще это, наверное, вопрос личных предпочтений - пока ископаемые не прояснят.

Ну, ничто не мешало и динозаврам иметь кожные складки. Особенно на шее. Посмотрите, например, на грифов)
