DISCLAIMER:
Too many people have misinterpreted this image for me not to throw this in. The "real" Velociraptor here is not supposed to be the be-all and end-all of how to feather the animal. Of course there is going to be variation you twats, Velociraptor and it's close relatives are not the same animal (see my post on the opposite end of feather coverage here: [link]). The point of the "real" diagram is to direct attention to phylogenetic bracketing as I assume that those drawing half-arse and greyhound deinonychosaurus don't understand it or don't know of it at all (as is evidenced in a lot of comments).

If anyone else would like to make a comment telling me there is nothing wrong with the half-arse variant, make sure you include an explanation as to why a Velociraptor would have lost it's primary feathers when no other maniraptor known has done so, why would it's hands be pronated when no other theropod can do so and why it would have reverted to protofeathers when as per Foth (2011) even what we traditionally thought of as protofeathers are likely in fact nothing more than flattened veined feathers.
