Claw Rip Discord GIF

I need a 500 × 500 px animated GIF that opens on a solid black square. Realistic, razor-sharp claws should slash through, ripping the darkness apart. As the tears widen, my podcast logo bursts into view against a backdrop of flickering fire. Use colours that complement the flames so the emblem feels naturally lit by them. The sequence—black square, claw tear, fiery reveal—must stay intact, but you’re welcome to add subtle personal touches that heighten the drama.

I’ll provide the logo artwork (PNG/SVG) once we’ve agreed. The finished GIF has to loop cleanly and stay under Discord’s file-size cap so it uploads without compression issues; please keep that in mind when you optimise.

Deliverables • Looped GIF, 500 × 500 px, Discord-ready • Source file with editable layers (PSD, AEP, or similar)

Our server has 200+ fans waiting to see this, so a quick turnaround would be ideal. Tell me how you’d craft the claw animation—whether with After Effects, Blender, or another tool—and share a sample of related work so I can feel the heat of those flames before we start!
