This is much better than the original one, and I have to admitt, I don't see anything that bothers me on this pic c:
Keep up with the good work

this looks amazing there are no flaws as far as I can spot, and the whole structure just seems believeable <3 believeable to the degree that a biologist would even classify it as practically functional andcorrect by scientific standards. I could totally imagine this drawing in an encyclopedia ^v^

There are a lot of subtleties in this design that I like: the fused caudal vertebrae at the base of the tail where the wing membrane attaches itself, the 'heel' on the wing hand (it reminds me a lot of an upside down, inverted human foot (which is confusing to convey in words XD))that attaches yet more wing membrane, and the fact that you have two separate scapulae for the forelegs and wings (something that I came up with for my own 'dragon' design) - I like how you also used a more bird-like wing design, skeleton-wise - it makes sense (as opposed to a bat's wing, where the wing-arms actually slide down the sides of the ribcage in the downbeat (makes it difficult to make a working design when you have a set of forelimbs under it/behind it). The lack of a visually exaggerated 'keel'/breastbone also makes logical sense to me, and the amount of attachment you have allotted to the design feels about right.

Damn, makes me want to do another drawing of my Romanian Three-Tail's skeletons.

The only thing that makes me wonder is the length of the spine - I haven't taken a comparative look between an external drawing of your Taschevah and this skeleton to see if the length looks right, but it seems a little 'stocky' here - perhaps that was what you were going for, however.

Splendid work! This drawing is a lot more comprehensive than the previous - the addition of the separate drawing of the tail with bladders inflated is a very nice touch in conjunction with the 'deflated' tail in the complete subject. And the unfurled wing is very nice - I think if you use these in your book, using both versions of your designs so far could be beneficial (showing the wings furled and unfurled, with the graphical depiction of the mantle and pouch in your original skeleton drawings). I love stuff like this! Well done!

oops - should have put that in the critique section - mind if I copy and paste? *meek grin* ? XD

Amazing, simply amazing.

The super-bent upper wing arm is a little weird looking at first, but what do I know? xD

Thanks!

I do agree that it looks a little stocky, I tried to make one head length between the last rib and the hips, but in progress noticed that made the midsection look too long so I shortened it a bit. I'll have to do a traceover to make sure it's all right, especially since I went from drawing it 3/4 to a profile. The other thing I thought about is even in bats and birds, the spine is a lot shorter so there's less bending while in flight, which I would imagine would cause stress on the vertebrae(?) if it were longer. This is a general assumption though.

Something else I think I want to change is the wing tine length, it seems too short to me.

I think it'd be awesome to see a new skeleton from you, it's been a while!

That is a very good point about the length of the spine - also, with the spine having little flexibility in left-to-right motion (bending the spine on a horizontal plane), or up-and-down motion, that helps with aerodynamics I would think, as the airflow is allowed to flow along the body with as little hold-up as possible, and therefore reducing drag - a bending body in flight might not be as beneficial as I used to think it to be.

Maybe I can get something done in between commissions. Oh man, my skeletal anatomy is outdated, though... Thanks!
