66 million years ago, a tyrant ruled this world. All that lived in its day trembled at the sight of it, knowing that if their ability to run failed them, they would only serve to sate its appetite. Tyrants cannot reign forever though, as a landslide would imprison the great beast on one fateful hunt, liberating its contemporaries from its iron-clawed rule. Surely, they all believed, the terrible lizard would never see the light of day again...
...Until sensation returned. An arid heat flowed over the tyrant's freshly exposed remains, rousing the beast from its eon-spanning slumber. Fashioning the sediment around it into a new body for its bones, the newly reawakened tyrant found itself in a world that had changed immensely during its time in the dark. Now in an unfamiliar sandy wasteland, this undead relic of a bygone era will wander the dunes of the blocky deserts until the end of time...or at least until the elements erode it away.
A nice little personal skin of mine that I made. As you could probably guess, I'm quite the paleontology nerd, and it shows in this skin. Why would an undead dinosaur be confined to deserts you may ask? Simply put, elsewhere in the world the weather would exacerbate the erosion of its body, leading to a true death: being forgotten. In the absence of precipitation to weather its bones to mere grit in a stream, the desert is a prime location for the tyrant to...live? No, exist would be a better word.
As far as what I was going for artistically? It was clear in my head the moment I came up with the idea. Being a fossilized T.rex, what would better emphasize that it is a fossil than the fact that it is still partially entombed in the sediment it was laid to rest in? The grainy, gritty and disorganized sediment would now fill in the body cavity that soft tissue once did, with the exposed bones showing their age on the outside, with cracks and discolorations to the bone beginning to show due to age. I even was able to make the skull as close to its IRL counterpart as you can probably get in the block game, with the nostrils at the front, eye sockets further towards the rear, with the antorbital fenestra in between. My only regret is not finding a way to make that set of steak knife teeth look right, so it'll have to make like Toothless the Night Fury for now.
I hope you all enjoy this undead time capsule as much as I enjoyed creating it.
