Argol-Dirth: the Thane of the Earth

Piece no. 1 of 12 for an art project.
This here is a member of a certain species of Tyrannosaurus. It was originally going to be T. rex itself, but there were conflicts concerning the fact that T. rex didn't have armor. So, I'm reclassifying it as a different species.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Tyrannosaurus deus.
These are much larger, rarer, and more dangerous than their more well-known cousins. They measure fifty feet long, weigh nine tons, and easily take down prey as large as a sauropod. They take vast territories of hundreds of square miles, almost reducing the landscape to rubble. Although their numbers were on the rise, they only numbered a thousand or so by the K-Pg event. It may very well have been a good thing, too; their rise could partially have been responsible for the decline in Dinosaur species towards the end of the cretaceous.
Don't worry. He isn't quite finished with the world yet.
