I guess that since this is four years old, you don't want me to point out mistakes, right? Even though this is an excellent guide and could help a lot of dragon artists, there's a few things that bugs me, not about the points and the info, but the "why should you do this"-parts.
Dragonriders really have caused me a headache. The best thing I could come up with was that dragons trained for soldiers had got a cut in each wing for the rider's legs/feet early in their life ... it just seems quite brutal.
I thought I'd point out that what you mentioned on the bat wing anatomy is actually a common misconception. What was described as the palm is actually the wrist bones of a bat, and the first long "digits" are actually the metacarpals, or "palm" hand bones of a bat
I'm still glad they amuse you!
I want to write a book about them, but my problem is fire breath. So you have some hydrogen or methane, but you have to have a way to light it. I'm not quite sold on the idea of a "Spark Pouch" in their mouth, so I'm looking into chemical ignition sources, like that one beetle that can squirt boiling chemicals at predators.
