I love this sleek, slim look! I've always had trouble with very musclular dragons because muscle adds mass. This is a flying beast, and mass does not always mean strength. A slim dragon looks more areodynamic. The skin texture is gorgeous! My only anatomical complaint has to do with the position of the wings. They need to be behind the shoulders, or in front of them, otherwise, the muscles necessary to power flight would interfere with the muscles moving the shoulders. Personally, I envision the wings set right behind the shoulders so the dragon could grasp or manipulate objects without interfering with the wing's path. Large birds of prey do this with their hind claws, but the object is behind the wing path. If a six limbed critter wishes to carry an object and leave its wings clear, then it would either carry it forward of the wings, or behind them. Can't wait to buy the final product!
