EDIT: oh man, im so getting in trouble for this

It's true, raptors never intended for us to know what they looked like in real life, otherwise they would have painted images in caves telling us what was the correct way to fingerpaint a raptor

This was something I did based on the recent arguments about deinonychosaurs and dromaeosaurs being depicted with feathers or without feathers. many people are still stuck on the image of dinosaurs being portrayed as fearsome, scaley, bloodthirsty monsters, while others believe that dinosaurs should be depicted with every bit of accuracy, feathers, anatomy, and everything else that constructs the real life image.

Personally i think that the arguments from both sides are a bit too extreme: we cant just jump to feathered, accurate dinosaurs all at once, and we cant just stick to the old timey reptilian monsters we all grew up with. sure Jurassic Park was the first theatrical debut of accurately depicted dinosaurs, but it still needed work and we cant dwell on it forever. and sure the modern day raptor design is nice, still scary, but we cant force everyone to just accept the new design, its like pushing religion on a new country.

For one, i think the old raptor design still needs some work, and the new raptor design is pushing too much towards resembling a bird (if raptors were meant to look 95% like birds, then we might as well just forget they ever hunted larger animals like iguanadonts and ceratopsians, and leave it to the larger carnosaurs... cus birds eat small stuff only)

Soooo aside from that little rant, i made this little piece of satire to get my point across. we'll never know for sure what raptors looked like in real life, so it's up to the human imagination to come up with possible designs for what they were like, that being said, i would appreciate if you guys stop shitting all over other artists if you prefer one more than the other. sure we may come to a point where feathers will be widely accepted, but for the sake of art, cant' we just progress there slowly, so everyone can take some time to adjust to it? please? thanks

btw sorry i made them curse, i guess now you know these guys dont have a G rating
