Official Title is "The King is Dead, Long Live the King" which is a saying from medieval times. I thought it was appropriate for the king of the dinosaurs. Ink on bristol board, with digital colour.
Gorgeous detailing (and pen-and-ink is so challenging, much respect to your skills!)--it's like a photo of what would truly have happened: the beast would succumb (to wounds from its contemporaries, or perhaps disease), would serve as food for numerous other creatures, then be covered over on the river bank... Did you use a real skeleton for reference here, or is this from memory...? The environment looks just awesome--particularly the water and the plants... Fantastic!

For ten years I worked at a place that builds museum exhibits ... mostly dinosaurs, so I got to know the TRex skeleton pretty well. They were always asking me to draw new TRex skeletal poses. There's only so much you can do with a TRex pose before it starts to get mundane (they either run, walk or just stand there). So I drew a dead TRex , just for a laugh, and they went for the idea ! Now there are actually 2 lifesize BRONZE TRex skeletons that are in this pose ! Thanks for noticing the environment, I wanted to show a mini life cycle of the King of Dinosaurs!
I know lol Spino's teeth were a joke. He ate fish mainly anyways. And whats with the whole neck snaping thing in JP3?? I gotta stop myself here or I'll go on forever. Spino was cool lookin, but no Rex.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
