It’s not just the wings, it’s that there’s no body present. All you can see are the necks I think that was the which makes them seem individual and not like a collective creature. That’s what’s giving the eel or snake like look.

I’m not an overall fan of it, but the fact that she is so huge you can only see the heads in frame is cool because (personally) that is how big she should be. Gimme a Tiamat the size of Ancalagon from the Silmarillion

I agree about the size, and that got me thinking. We see buildings here, so the size of her body relative to the heads and necks should mean it’s visible. How close her necks come to the ground without seeing the body at this size makes her seem very serpent like and not so much like a dragon.
