T-Rex: You know why old paintings look so wonky? I'll tell you why: painter dudes didn't know about perspective!
T-Rex: They were all "I GUESS things get smaller when they're further away? I GUESS??"
T-Rex: But as anyone who has tried to draw knows, there's a lot more to it than that. Then in the 15th century artists figured out perspective and suddenly they could paint things like "buildings" or "hallways" or "cars if they were invented yet" and have them actually look like what they're supposed to! And of course, this was like when lens flares got added to Photoshop: artists started adding blatant perspective EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME.
Utahraptor: Barn-floor checkerboard tiles in a "Jesus in the manger" sculpture? WHY NOT!!
T-Rex: Yep!
T-Rex: I see you're familiar with renaissance sculptor and future "does machines" ninja-turtle inspiration Donatello. And can we talk about Leonardo's "Last Supper"? It's literally 33% "son of God enjoying a meal" and 66% "bro this vanishing point is OFF THE HOOK, seriously bro, you don't even know".
T-Rex: "Cool but crude" Raphael and "party dude" Michelangelo also loved perspective, and in conclusion, if Leonardo had ray-tracing software there'd be a chrome ball on a black-and-white checkerboard beside Jesus, 100% GUARANTEED.
T-Rex: Art, am I right??
