Thanks lot, this'll help me draw raptor hands more accurately!

very nice, thank you! ...do you have a diagram of how a bird's wing folds?

Great picture! Really makes it clear how the bird hand skeleton developed by fusing the bones of two fingers into one funky looking but stronger/lighter structure.

Uff, i wonder when people will stop to extrapolate these theories... xD
On the Velociraptor no feathers or quills were found.
There are 12 Velociraptor skeletons on ONE ARM of them are knobs, which are interpreted as "quill knobs".
On no one of the eleven others where these knobs found!^^
But yes, on one Arm of the Dakotaraptor where these knobs.
But also on the Arm of Concavenator but on an other position where they can't be the attachment of feathers.
Even ratites have no quill knobs, like ostrichs. Not even most birds at all have quill knobs xD
So why should the Velociraptor who couldn't fly at all should have these knobs?
Do your own research on the situation!^^ Use your own brain!
A quote by Darren Naish on the Concavenator:
"Thirdly, animals sometimes have weird, irregularly spaced tubercles arranged in lines on various of their bones, typically located on intermuscular lines (they presumably represent partially ossified attachment sites for tendinous sheets or similar structures): Iβve seen them on mammal bones and on a theropod tibia (specimen MIWG.5137, illustrated in Text-Fig. 9.29 of Naish et al. (2001))."

I don't really care for the subject as a whole (I mean, it's interesting and I'm curious, but I am no paleontologist and as an artist, I don't draw dinosaurs, so...) but your comment drew my attention. The substance could be true, who knows? but the form is not really convincing :
You say most of the velociraptor skeletons didn't have these knobs + they couldn't fly so there is no reason they should have feathers/wings.
You then proceed to give the example of ostriches... who don't have knobs + can't fly, but if I'm not mistaken they do have feathers/wings. Thus I fail to see how you demonstrate your point with this reasoning.
