My old drawings had all four deformations mentioned, ahhhh!
There is also the antipronated hand syndrome, which is even worse than the.pronated one because it makes the entire hand pronate upside down. It is sometimes seen on half-arse dinos.

Raptors have always had feathers, but humans only recently found this out.

Why? Did you seen one of them?

I have a better solution than hating on reality: Switch to a different carnivore, like an old favorite, Allosaurus:

It doesn't need to be feathered to be accurate, it's a moderate size between Tyrannosaurus and Utahraptor, around 25-30 feet, AND unlike raptors, this thing used its head like an AXE: [link]

Thx, Raptors are cool before his species become feathers. Now I only LIKE dinosaurs.

Maybe I should elaborate more:
People don't seem intimidated by birds because there hasn't been that many attacks recorded compared to mammals and reptiles. But the truth is, if you actually delve deeper, you'll realize things aren't as what they appear. Like modern hawks, raptors probably used their sickle-shaped talons to eat their prey ALIVE: [link]
Another dangerous bird to consider is the cassowary. That one is one of the most aggressive birds in the world, and there's been recorded deaths because of that thing's powerful kick: [link]
And in the past, there were man-eating birds like the Haast's Eagle of New Zealand, which had a wingspan of 10 feet, and presumably, Terror Birds, which were flightless, predatory, and huge: [link]

That's typically judging something by looks. It's what they do that's more serious.

No, anti-feathered raptors love humans. But you
Not!

You do know that anti-feathered raptors don't exist in prehistory anymore, right? So what you said is pretty invalid.

Oh gosh.. I saw a raptor at the Smithsonian and it had horrible anatomy, looking at this. To start, the leg was bent back about 180 degrees ;-; This is so helpful.

This is a really good tutorial for "typical" raptors like Deinonychus, but there were also fish-eaters like Buiteraptor with heron-like proportions, gliders like Microraptor with big arms, short-skulled raptors like Dromaeosaurus, etc. But in general this is perfect for the average artist.

The Land Before Time is a lie.....my poor childhood.....I must say, when I was about 10 and I first found out that raptors were bird-like and feathery I felt so cheated xD I always thought they were like those red and black-striped dinosaurs attacking the leafeaters in the third movie (probably a different dinosaur altogether actually but nowadays it's the first thing that comes to mind).
