And here’s the background image (Torvosaurus and Stegosaurus) unblurred.
Big theropods of the Jurassic Morrison Formation: Torvosaurus, Allosaurus, and Ceratosaurus
Torvosaurus was a very large predator, with an estimated body length of 10 m (33 ft) and mass of 3.6–4.5 tons, making it one of largest land carnivores of the Jurassic along with Epanterias and Saurophaganax (both could be species of Allosaurus). Art by @JCTArtStudio
Torvosaurus gurneyi strolling through a forest, without going all "hurr I'm a big theropod here's my teeth" cause he's an animal, not a movie monster.
Still really like the overall vibe of this piece from January 25, 2018.

Current progress of the #Torvosaurus for the @pathoftitans mod, Global Expansion.
Saurophaganax was one of the largest carnivores of Late Jurassic North America, bigger than Torvosaurus, Allosaurus, and Ceratosaurus, but rarer in terms of recovered material. Art by @JCTArtStudio.
Drew my Torvosaurus (Edmarka) rex character Agamemnon with actual adult Torvosaur proportions (top drawing). Referenced a skeletal by Paleojoe.
Then, after deducing that Agamemnon was a Torvosaurus (Edmarka) rex, I had to create a new design for T. tanneri. They’re much more accurate to real Torvosaurs with less exaggerated features. They also have more body stripes, blue eyes and a fleshy crest on their snouts.
