>The figure: Notice that, though toned, the skin and sinew does not become so taught against the bone that it we are able to see the gaps in cartilage. At least, not everywhere, or to the level of the example that you posted.
The figure of the deer is slight, yes, but it also has a bit of meet to it. It is toned, but the skin is not so taught even at its tightest points to seem sickly.
Next, the eyes.
A deer's eyes are large, round, and expressive. They seem almost human, and that my friend, is the key.
A deer's eyes hold the same qualities that children's eyes, or indeed women's eyes, ideally posses. They seem kind, innocent, trusting, with long eyelashes that are, in most societies today, seen as very feminine, and therefore beautiful. Women do apply mascara after all.
Now, onto pose.
Simply put, the pose that was chosen by the artist bends in unnatural ways. Models often take unnatural poses you might be saying, but humor me a moment.
Examine now the image here. This pose in unnatural, sure, you'd be hard pressed to find somebody taking this pose were they not asked. But take another look. Her shoulders are squared, her back, while turned, does so in a way that is erect. She is well balanced on both legs to create a firm root for her hips, which, like her shoulders, are squared.
What we have actually examined is the posture within the pose.
Now I'll do the same with yours....
