- Well, not to be 'snicketty, but it's a bit much to say everyone does - some of the best paleoart I've seen gives them a birdlike cast to the features - pebbly skin etc, with bristly little feathers, but skull-like, per se... I mean, they need some musculature on them to work the jaws etc. 
It's nice, though. I never have the patience to draw backgrounds so I'm not good at comics... :P |
I have attached a diagram of a Velociraptor Mongoliensis's skull, along with speculative muscle structure. It's not like those fat-faced T-rex illustrations in Charles R. Knight's paintings from the 1880's.

The majority of muscle structure is in the jaw and around the orbits, since the bones of the skull were thick and strong and the orbits were weak.
