I know that everyone has sculpted a T. rex... I just thought I would mention one bit of detail about my piece though...

I based the skin texture upon several little patches of skin impressions found around a Black Hills Institute T. rex specimen that I saw while I was there on a visit. Also, this is no generic T. rex... this is Stan the Man, the popular rex that resides at BHI. I spent several days measuring each and every bone in Stan's body before I built the armature, to ensure the proper proportions.

That is all... i will let you return to your lives now. Thanks you for reading.

I haven't sculpted a T-rex yet! :D

I really love the pose. It's got weight and posture. Sweet job man!
