[Edit: another old repost, pic made back in December, 2020]
It was my first time drawing dinosaurs seriously so please don't be mean U_U
Scary Monsters from the series Jojo's Bizarre Adventure looks like an utahraptor or dakotaraptor, but Araki drew him with the "Jurassic Park look" aka only scales, no feathers, so here's my take on a revised Scary Monsters according to what we currently know now about dinosaurs. I didn't draw him fully feathered so his design didn't deviate too much from how he looks in the series, so while most of the upper part of his body is covered with feathers, the hind legs, part of the tail and snout are still mostly scale-y.
On the bottom pic you have the scale-y design he shows in the manga, only with revised anatomy (for some reason Araki drew his mouth surprisingly similar to that of the Indoraptor) and to better compare how different (or similar) he looks to his feathered counterpart.

Did the feathery dinosaur theory well known when Araki was making SBR? That would explain the lack of scientific accuracy in the dinosaur designs.
But then again, this is a story about bizarre people and bizarre superpowers. A lack of scientific accuracy is seen a lot everywhere. And it is supposed to be a Scary Monster, so it makes sense to me that it wouldn't look like an accurate dinosaur, even for the time period

I honestly don't know, but I don't think so...?
SBR was published from 2004 to 2011, with Scary Monsters first appearance in 2005, and while the feathered dinosaur theory might have been discussed back then, I think it didn't become widely known to the masses until a few years ago? Besides, Jurassic Park 3 was released in 2001 so I'm much more inclined to believe that Araki was heavily inspired by the JP franchise.
I wanna clarify that my drawing was done for funsies, and because I wanted to see how would Scary Monsters look if it was a bit more accurate to what we know about dinosaurs nowadays ^^ I'm not trying to bash Araki for its design or anything since it is a stand xD and it was first created in the early 2000s after all, so I don't judge the scientific inaccuracy too harshly haha
