unfortunately a lot of art just sorta glues a bunch of feathers to a deinonychus and calls it a velociraptor, but here’s some stuff i feel makes more sense.
(Also side note: t.rex probably was actually mostly naked, however it was likely skin rather than scales, like a giant plucked monster turkey, which IMO is significantly worse.)

Has anyone actually tried representing dinosaurs like fluffy (or very feathery) animals?

Most dinosaur recreations now just go “what would a bird with this skeleton look like?”

A 15’ chicken with teeth would be terrifying.

The common art keeps giving them long feathers on their arms but I would have assumed long feathers only evolved on flying birds and most of the feathers on the flightless dinosaurs would be pretty uniform.

I’ve also come across these. There’s a lot we don’t know, all of these could be entirely wrong.

Sometimes we might never really know. It is part of the mystery. Can you imagine if you had dinosaurs that had trunks like elephants?
