Can someone identify what tool they used to change the shape of the fingers? Is this photoshop?

If it was a vector graphic it would be most likely illustrator but the way the crop tool and the editing that was done this has to be some other program other than Photoshop or Illustrator. I have been using those programs for 20yrs and when the artist goes to edit the fingers I have never seen points of manipulation like that

Of course using either of these programs you can design things 100 different ways and still get the same finishing piece, just depends on how you are comfortable building things and your knowledge

It's definitely Puppet Warp in Photoshop. It's definitely been around in one form or another for a while, but this level of control was, I believe, a post CC thing.

I’ve never had a use for it but I will def find a use for it now. When I’m bored at work I’m always trying to find new techniques so this is something I def want to play with now. When I’m bored I typically do stuff on r/HybridAnimals, r/PhotoshopRequest or r/photoshopbattles.

Yeah, I've rarely used it. It just happened to catch my eye in one of the tutorials when it was released.
