#tarbo

Drew Liu Ren’s tarbo, Yinglong, for a writing break bc he’s in the chapter of Entwined Frontiers that I’m writing so I thought screw it, it’s on topic

So this is like... probably one of my silliest looking redesigns but I have a reason!!

So unrelated to that but while looking at the tarbosaurus to do research on what design things I should include, I couldn’t find a single thing about the tarbosaurus having a dorsal fin. Odd because FF is generally pretty accurate and attentive to the details they put in their vivosaurs, but I found it kind of odd that I couldn’t find anything on the tarbosaurus actually having a fin

So since Shanshan is a young Tarbosaurus I decided to make it look more like Shanshan! The idea started off when I read that the tarbosaurus was discovered in several areas that were either deserts or extremely cold regions, so my first idea was to give it some kind of foot guard which turned into the swirly Shanshan design.
