Tyrannosaurus rex Muscle Anatomy

I'm currently going through a rigorous T. rex life reconstruction starting from the skeleton and muscles. I heavily referenced Matt Dempsey's most recent T. rex muscle diagram as well as RJ Palmer's. During the process I looked at some very useful dissection photos provided by Matt, this helped me get a nice sleek and organic feel to the muscles. This is by far my most detailed muscle study, I've added every muscle and made sure they fit with each other and lay properly. The skeleton is a scan from the Smithsonian, I rearticulated it into a more neutral pose. I then sculpted everything in Zbrush, once that was finished I moved into Blender for rendering.
