Hey there Daalex
NO REF? Interesting you have NICE muscle defintion and theres definately talent here. As far as anatomical crits, the ears on mice (and most all small animals) are a very thin, yet slightly rigid (sticks out not flappy like cloth). In fact as you can see in this pic, light passes through them (transluscence) they are soo thin. Its also quite round, not pointed like a cats, which is what the shape of you're looks like.

Now don't take any of this too seriously as you are obviously taking some creative liscense (cartoony a bit). But i'll keep going, the hands are going in the right direction, and this pic may also help with that, and just so you know the back feet look most excatly the same.

Keep going with this man and good luck to you.
Oh and sorry about the blurry pic i cleaned it up as best i could in photoshop (found on a google image search)

oh i wanted to add also that from the way you constructed his muscles/body, he appears to be an older, adult mouse. Thats just what i get from looking at him.

I just figured out why his elbows were bothering me, I looks like you just tied a rubber band around it, and there is an indent going all the way around. Most elbows have a small circular indent on the inside, and a bump on the outside.

elbows look better, tail looks a bit wide in that profile view, might be kinda heavy i dunno. Props are cute.
