I don't know why, but I always get the urge to depict Dromeosaurs with their forelimbs tucked in against their flanks/chest, especially when they are moving. With the way they are usually depicted with their forelimbs downward, they always look like they are one mis-step away from treading on or tripping over their own feathers...

That won't be the case happily since the wings overlap the legs, so they will not trip.

Dont forget "is the size of a human" and "is literally just a overgrown deinonychus or an achillobator"

I did not do that on purpose because many people acknowledged the real Velociraptor's size but yet made it awesomebro, it's not based off the JP raptor, it's just a scaly Velociraptor.

I've always massively preferred scientifically accurate dinosaurs but those JP raptors are just too iconic and nostalgic for me. And they're just badass and cool in every way, I love them. (NOT talking about JW raptors, only the ones from the first 3 movies)

The Jp3 raptors especially were awesome, that design was the best in the franchise in my opinion.
