Feathered Dinosaurs

Description

From bony quill knobs that all birds have for anchoring feathers, to actual feather imprints lining fossils, we have accumulated a huge body of evidence that many theropod dinosaurs had feathery integument. This includes dromaeosaurus like velociraptor and its kin. The feathery look has gotten resistance from both people opposed to evolution, and people who grew up adoring the scaly 'raptor' look.

They will just have to deal with it. ;)


The image is my troodon formosis model done in zbrush, with some tweaking of colors in photoshop.
Edit: Here is a turntable of the original model for those who want to see it in its (not) glory.

Call me crazy, but I think I like the feathered look more that the scaly look.
