A Detailed Drawing
A spokesperson for the UK-based The whole lot Dinosaur commented:
“The Velociraptor illustration is such an in depth drawing. Palaeontologists are starting to grasp just a little extra concerning the integumentary coverings of dinosaurs as extra impressions of fossilised pores and skin are studied.

As visible communication was necessary to those lithe, little hunters, why not give Velociraptor vibrant facial markings.”
