"However, naked and scaly skin impressions have been reported from late Cretaceous tyrannosaurids, with no evidence of plumage; if naked or scaly skin was the dominant epidermal trait of later genera, the extent and nature of the integumentary covering may have changed over time in response to body size, a warmer climate, or other factors."

First, 'naked skin' refers to smallpatches in certain zones (Tyrannosaurus, tip of the tail, as far as I know.)
Second, if Yutyrannus, a 8m(?) long tyrannosauroid had feathers, at least that lineage had them. And the babies, they definitely were feathered. Even if the adults were semi-bald
I just love your rendition of the beautiful feathered tyrant; the detail of the feathers and the scales are just wonderful - the softness of the feathers makes it look almost friendly
What could be better than a feathered Tyrannosaur?
A pack of feathered Tyrannosaurs. I'd really love to find something like that
