Drawing painted ion Photoshop. A follow-up to "An Important PSA". Yeah, this isn't going to get me in trouble at all...

Edit: I should note, after some research, that this is not a new thing. Take a look at old dinosaur books. Almost across the board all the "nekkid" dinosaurs are the lovely shades of Crap Brown, Diarrhea Green, Intestinal Distress Puce -- while Archeopteryx, because she is the only animal with feathers around, is almost always reconsructed as a "Sparkleraptor". More about this here: [link]

And for a more serious take on feather colors, and what you may be inadvertently implying about your dinosaurs through them, see here: [link]

I saw some dude paint a fully-feathered Triceratops with a color scheme inspired by a gorram Blue-and-Gold Macaw. I wanted to comment, "Great painting and I like the unusual creature concept but... that's... not what people mean when they say, 'feathered dinosaurs'... like, at all..."

The funniest feathered dino representation I think Ive seen was on a show about dinosaur feathers, and they were showing different ideas of what styles of feathers a T-Rex could have had... They gave it a red-orange mohawk and it looked like Bowser.

No lie - that sounds awesome. And not at all because Tyrannosaurs with Mohawks was kind of a meme in 80's cartoons.

To be fair, I imagine there were at least a few tropical colored theropods in some areas of the world back then.

Just not all of them.

Oh yeah, I do too. The thing is, (shamelessly copies this from a few posts back) the fabulous brightly colored birds running around now tend to not be the ones who have to sneak up on live prey animals for a living. They also tend to live high in the trees of tropical forests where they are actually fairly well-camouflaged. And they tend to be literal rare birds. For every one gaudy species of Bird of Paradise, there are two-dozen brown-with-gray-stripes/gray-with-brown-stripes/slightly-different-brown-with-darker-brown-stripes/ect. species of sparrow.
