The sculpt is every bit as stubby and awkward looking as the final thing. It does not look "fine".

Well Michael Vincent is on Twitter any pressing questions about Feral's fingers may find an answer there

Or perhaps I'll interview him someday. Hmmm

There was definitely some thinking behind making the claws short and stocky because it definitely wasn't an accident.

They probably got that off geckos or - since the general gist is that this guy comes from a harsh climate - fat deposits on the fingers, sensorial fingers (more than the sense of touch) etc

And while the extra grip pads on the hands look interesting that's just extra latex on an area where you need it to be as thin as possible.

They also seem to disappear in CGI.

Nice vid. Just wish they'd have stuck with the practical face reveal. Really think the CGI pulls you out of it more than the practical would have.

I get why they went with CGI enhancements, but they clearly didn't have the resources to make the CGI enhancements better than the practical so they actually make it worse.

The practical eyes looked way more menacing.

Awwww, I'd have liked to have seen some of those styles. Was something I kinda missed about the Emissaries too. They played with that in the concept art, and it's something I loved with Top-Knot in the comics.

This is the first film where I enjoyed the Predator's redesign, and where it worked for me. It wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel, just to do it. It was a redesign with a lot of explanation on to what its supposed to be. And it's not intended to replace previous Predator designs, but be an addition to it. It's world-building at it's finest.

Maybe I am the crazy one, but I would describe the hand here as elegant if unorthodox looking.

And yet the one in the last slide here as not that.

The ends of the fingers look inflated from the back of the hand angle, the thumb in particular, rather than looking textured from all other angles and slim from the back of the hand.
