Maybe start simple and work your way to more complex, the wings look too thick, so maybe you could create a line or such and extrude it, then maybe add some bend and twist modifiers just to get rid of that flat look, then possibly adding a transparency texture to it or something..

It looks to me as though he made the basic shape of the limbs and then applied a noise to the nodes.
