Tyrannosauroids might just contain the biggest size range of any theropod superfamily, with the smallest known members being over 2000 times smaller than the largest. Skeletal by @DanPalaeon1
Evening folks. Last drawing for this year; kicking it off with Guanlong; a small Proceratosaurid theropod. Proceratosaurids like Guanlong were early Tyrannosauroids and generally seem to have had display crests adorning their skulls.
-based on the known fossils, it's likely a basal coelurosaur of some kind, possibly an early tyrannosauroid! If so, it probably had many of the traits basal tyrannosauroids typically had, such as long arms with 3-fingered hands and a slim body build! (2/2)

Today's warm-up, inspired by Darren Naish (AKA @TetZoo )'s paper on Eotyrannus. Megaraptorans being Tyrannosauroids is so cool!

@AttemptingLogic @TetZoo It's obviously based on older data, so it's dated somewhat by this new study. Comparing it with the new skeletal, it's not awfully wrong, though. I should be painting more early tyrannosauroids in the near future, possibly including Eotyrannus.

Guanlong
One of the oldest known tyrannosauroids, while similar to its descendants it had some distinct characteristics like a large crest and long arms
ALT: found in a place known as the Wucaiwan, where the different capes of rock are visible by their multiple colors
Guanlong was a genus of small tyrannosauroids from the Late Jurassic of China. They measured 3 metres in length.

The foot bones of Moros were extremely slender, with metatarsal proportions more similar to ornithomimids than to other Late Cretaceous tyrannosauroids.
WIP. Alioramus altai, one of my favorite tyrannosaurids. That long snout and streamlined overall look of the skull makes it a very elegant, agile tyrannosaur. I still need to add more details. If I remake my poster of #Tyrannosauroids, this one will be in it. #paleoart #sciart
I needed to take a break from reconstructing Triassic and Jurassic #dinosaurs and other tetrapods, so I decided to go back to one of my favorite groups: Cretaceous #Tyrannosauroids. This is a quick reconstruction of Eotyrannus lengi. This one of or @TetZoo #paleoart #sciart
