Nice, I like how it has so much detail behind it. Few understand this much about dragon physiology.
Very well done..it's obvious you've put some serious thought into the anatomy, and have done some referencing and researching to some extant skeletal systems! I really like the close-up on the wing-palm with the surrounding skin, that's really cool
WOW!!!
That is awsome

this is awesome! your dragons are detailed enough, but your skeletons are insane with even thinking of the number of bones. you should really post up more of these kind of things. it might help your fellow dragon artists with body structure/proportions.
I am indeed planning on a small series of these, showing generic skeletons of the main "kinds" and various wing structures. ^_^
Hey I likey it.
It's staring at meeeeeeeeeee o_o;

Nice.Not only can you draw a basic skeletal outline (which is quite good by the way
), you can really show the details - that wing palm detail is GORGEOUS!!! Though I was wondering where the carpals were (all of those little square bones in the wrist), but then again was that intentional? I LOVE, ADORE, and WORSHIP the style that the wing palm detail was sketched in....*sighs* 
So....bloody....gorgeous.Also, the way the forearms and wings are positioned are really quite unique. Wouldn't the placement of the forearms then suggest that they weren't very dextrous due to the musculature for the wing, or is it due to the entirely seperate scapula suggest that the forearm was dextrous on its own accord (as though the shoulder socket could enable the entire arm to pivot straight forward towards the head without any bend outwards...
Sorry.) *apologetic grin* Sorry - I get intrigued by drawings like these ^_^. Bloody nice job, though. 
The lack of carpels is intentional because I am still trying to figure out how to fold the palm back better, which I think I figured out this morning ( a combination of teradactyl-type joint, but still flexibility for the wing thumbs via some carpels.... or something.
Our arms didn't have that much... forward... motion. *tries to explain* They were like the limbs of a cat. Not too much mobility towards out, or even all that much forward. Our wings had a human-range of motion so we used them more than our actual arms, unless it required actual grasping or carrying. The muscles for the arms connected to those tapering ribs, I think. *shrugs* I'm trying to figure it out as well. *grins* I just know that our arms weren't too flexible (ie, like a human's arms) and were possitioned waaaay behind the wings.

I love seeing how different artists draw dragon skeletons, especially the wings and forelimbs. This is amazing! ^.-.^
Awesome stuff Shiari. You actually managed to make it look like the wings would hold the Shinoar in flight, I always draw wings too small. ^_^;; It looks terrific!

I thought my wings used to be a fair bit smaller, actually. I look at this, know that it is far more correct, and think "My wings were HUUUUUGE!!!!!! eeeeeeeeeeeeek!" XD
o_O Weird...
