I think the bones are a little too 'new' looking - add some noise in the bump channel, and maybe some Perlin Noise (from freeware pack 1 or the Carrara Power Pack) with two colors, the bone white and something darker. Alternatively, you could use tubulence in shader pack 1 from DCG. Also, I would suggest toning down the light level a little, is the ambient set to zero?
