Dragons Claw Experiment

Inspired from a tutorial I read I started to model this dragons claw in Cinema 4D. From this experiment I wanted to go the whole 9 nine yards and create everything from scratch. I Started with one cylinder to make the claw and custom created my own texture maps for Bump, Specular and Color. I thought if I could do a complete modeling job with custom textures on a small scale such as this then with more effort and time I could model and texture much larger objects!...Maybe even a whole dragon!.....The more I learn about Cinema 4D the more I like it. It's just amazing!
