#tyrannosaurus

Hi there everyone! Happy First Day of Ramadan!

Today, made a warm up involving everyone’s favorite dinos, specifically, how the ecosystems they lived in also contributed to to the adaptations that made the big predators the way they are!

T.rex lived in a time where it had to punch through armor and muscle with only its face, meanwhile Spinosaurus stuck to the water, because there was FAR less competition when on land, it ran the absolute gamut of large carnivores, from Carcharodontosaurus to Rugops

Now that the Pop Poke contest is over, here are some “concept art” and unused sketches from the planning process. I went with characters/creatures that I really like and that felt distinctly “me”. I figured I wouldn’t have to worry about other people picking the same characters, but someone did submit a Grievous line so that shows what I know lol. 

Enjoy!

Here we are, last stop on the JP Palettes train. The Holy Grail for every JP 90′s kid. At least as far as I’ve gathered.

Hot take: Rubber “real feel” skin is super overrated. Sure, flexibility, less seams, and “skin-like” material is neat, but it’s a lot less durable, easier to break, and paint can be susceptible to peeling. Nothing lasts forever, but I feel rubber has a real short shelf life.

Enjoy!

Here’s a GIF going between the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World T. rex colorations. There’s a decent amount of discrepancies between the actual models, but these colors match up a lot better than I expected.

Hope you like it!

And, here it finally is, the last Jurassic Palettes piece. I may come back to this idea in the future but it’s so nice to finally have finished this project as originally planned.

The T. rex is my favorite dino in the series, so this one was especially fun to work on. Second to the raptors, it (understandably) gets the lion’s share of cool color schemes from the franchise.

Enjoy!

Here’s an extra Male T. rex, this one’s more “generic” than the others. It follows the patterning most random merch from JP3 used (lollipop holders, things like that). There is a specific source, props to anyone who can guess what it is.

The Male Tyrannosaurs are done! T. rex has some killer color schemes across the franchise and there’s so much good stuff to pull from. I know there are still some iconic rexes left unaddressed by this post, rest assured they’ll be in the next (and, for the moment, final) piece.

Happy Holidays!

This wee bab comes to us from the unreleased Night Hunters line, a follow up to the (surprisingly released) Chaos Effect line. There are like 2 promo pics I could find, and color schemes were conflicting. So, why not both?
