#tyrantrum
Another batch of old sketches while you wait for another overly-elaborate Pokemon. Coloring this up took some time that I could have used to make more progress on said Pokemon, but I love coloring sketches like this.
Hope you enjoy!
Sneak peek! I’m going to be revisiting the realistic sketches of my Ultra Sun team from a ways back. It might be a bit for it to get done, I have like 7-8 other artsy things my brain/free time are trying to juggle right now.
Also interested to see if Sword/Shield get fossils. I’m hoping for a Baryonyx at least.
More work sketches! Did my fossil team from Ultra Sun as realistic pokes. Might do a better one of them all together once I finally finish that game.
The study of reviving extinct creatures from fossils is an exciting and ever-changing field. While it has advanced enough to create new organisms from fossil material, the authenticity of the results has been questioned. Specimens of Tyrantrum in particular usually exhibit collars of feathers, but rare variants include collars of osteoderms or a full-body covering of feathers. While this science is imperfect, the author does not feel it worthy of comparison to the “mad science” performed by Liss et al. in the Galar region.
Here are the non-shiny versions of the pics from yesterday. Enjoy!
The “shiny” condition, as it is often called, is caused due to a genetic difference in pigmentation like melanism or albinism. This condition is harder to define however, as it does not affect all creatures in the same way. While members of the same species exhibit the gene identically to one another, specimens are highly rare and scientists are still not sure how this expressive and variable gene works.
Tyrantrum is finally here and with it comes the end of the realistic fossil Pokémon art! It is bittersweet, but I am happy to have finally finished these. Tyrantrum especially turned out really well (because I took forever on it) and I’ll be sharing some non-shiny pics and a group shot soon.
Enjoy!
Tyrunt siblings tend to fight each other over every little thing. Sadly, serious injuries aren’t uncommon from all this roughhousing. Though any runts tend to develop some clever strategies to fend off their bigger siblings.
The parents have to step in when things get too aggressive. I pity the Tyrunt breeders who deal with this constantly. It sure makes preserving this rare species difficult.
