My first submission!

The claws mean you better prosper or you may not live much longer!

This is my first ever attempt at making any kind of paw/hand. I made it for a spray for TF2. It took hours, but I persisted. I first started out in Gimp but quickly moved over to Inkscape for the lines. I then went back into Gimp and finished it off with my newb shading. I had no idea how to shade the claws; or really anything for that matter.
