I love how well you handle the contrast in your pencil pieces. Nice balance between the extreme darks to lights, with groovy greytones in between.
The shape of the hand itself is fantastic, I like how the skin looks pulled tight over the bones and whatnot.

Not a guy I'd want to shake hands with =3

Awesome X3 Those claws look really raptor-like and three dimensional, and the detail of the tendons and muscle showing under his skin is great! Combined with all those wickedly sharp angles, it looks like a very monstrous hand. Poor Tarron for having them, eh? 9_9

Beatiful! Looks like my own hands-except for the talons. I have worked very hard over my short lifetime.

Wow, great shading and detail! His hand looks awesome!
I'd shake Tarron's hand, if it meant getting close enough to possibly pet that silky hair... X3
But then I'd probably lose that hand... O_o

What a great hand! I love the anatomy especially, how well-executed it is. And those talons just look like little knives! Really amazing; it looks so real.

Most of your pictures is very colorful. But this is more in my taste 10

Simple yet it is satisfying to watch and everyone who've tried to draw a hand knows it's a nightmare at first (and still is sometimes 12.

Great work.
