Has anyone actually tried representing dinosaurs like fluffy (or very feathery) animals?

unfortunately a lot of art just sorta glues a bunch of feathers to a deinonychus and calls it a velociraptor, but here's some stuff i feel makes more sense.
(Also side note: t.rex probably was actually mostly naked, however it was likely skin rather than scales, like a giant plucked monster turkey, which IMO is significantly worse.)
