YAYHAPPYREJOICEIT'SFINALLYDONE!!!!!!

As already stated in the tutorial, thank you guys for putting up with me and waiting till the end of the tutorial. You guy are awesome, and I hope this tutorial has/will help you make decent [Prototype] claws! :3


--UPDATE--
Here's a helpful addition from :icon2slicks:
If you don't mind me adding, for those who want a more soft/smooth finishing, You can cover the entire arm in Hot Glue.

Optionally you can leave it in the sun for a day after that as the glue will melt slightly making it a bit more smoother.

I'm not finished with the arms yet, but so far it's looking good!
I struggled with keeping the claws in place, so this is what I did: After covering the arm with masking tape and gluing the spikes, I covered the entire thing in papier mache made of news paper and wallpaper paste. After it dried, I put 2-3 layers at the base of the spikes and the claws so that they would stay in place. Thus creating more support and (hopefully) the claws won't break easily. 
I wouldn't recommend covering the entire arm in multiple layers of papier mache, as the veins might fade out and it will get considerably heavier.
