Author's Note: A young Tyranasaurus Rex calls for it's mother.
I used a photo of a fossilised T. rex skull as reference.
The main things I was trying to achieve with this image where: A nice looking eye, a revolting and fleshy mouth and tongue and some sub-surface scattering effects (where light shines through and is diffused by something like flesh, or a candle, and illuminated slightly from within)... this I attempted on the cheek and the under tongue area. I also wanted to try and make the teeth look semi translucent.
WIP
I worked at this image at 2500 pixels across... so here are some 100% crops of the eye and tongue/mouth areas
