Seems fine to me. Generally speaking if it looks cool and is somewhat believable then that's usually good enough.

There are tons of different approaches to drawing dragons: one end of a spectrum are creatures that look like they actually exist in this world, but those tend to look more like lizards with wings. On the other end of the spectrum are ones that are more abstract, alien, or barely recognizable as living let alone a "dragon". Video games and anime usually will have something in between those.

You can pick and choose what elements you want to feel more 'real' and which are more 'abstract/alien/magical', but it's usually the world that the dragon inhabits and the medium its portrayed in that sets a lot of that in stone for you. A classical European dragon is different from a classical Chinese dragon, which is different from a Skyrim dragon, an MtG dragon, a Dark Souls Gaping Dragon, etc. You decide what parts should be more real than others, and find real world analogues to study that fit your needs - whether it's alligators and snakes, or insects and mammals, or fungi and microscopic organisms.

I personally like the wings and their webbing to match closely to a bat or a pterosaur. That usually entails long arm bones, small wrist bones, and elongated fingers. Donato Giancola does a good job at that in pic related. I can't tell if your wings are meant to be flaming or magical, but if they're not you might want to have the webbing run along the torso for a bit to make flight seem a bit more believable.

Wings. On that same note I love when people can draw them well. Pic related.
