The illusion of depth you gave the skeleton is really nice. Visually, if feels much thicker than it actually is, and the different tones of the wood really pushed that. I don't know crazy much about skeletons, but for the actual shape of the mouse's fur, behind all those tiny little bones, giving it a fatter, rounder shape may have been a stronger visual contrast to what it had been shaped like when alive, and distracted less from that beautiful ribcage. If you were trying to leave the fur away from the limbs altogether I can see what you were going for, but my eye keeps coming back to the triangular area where the belly fur, femur and forearm of the mouse are meeting. And there are so many little details in the skeleton that deserve so much more of my attention than that blank space.

The tiny little intersections of the ribs and the shapes inside of them are especially nice, as are those tiny teeth and the little extra layer you gave the eye socket to keep it from appearing flat.

Smart move simplifying the bones of the feet. It draws the eye back up to the legs and little forepaws, and is a nice visual resting point.

Great job on this little dude! He came out beautifully, and you should be really pleased with yourself. Especially at that scale! So tiny!

Pretty damn awesome! Perfect pose. No idea how you get the complexities of the rib cage looking so good.
