Thank you for your feedback on the previous challenge! I agree, it was more of a colored sketch and not a polished piece.
I'm trying to keep that momentum so I'll try participating in this one as well.
I actually created an elephant anthro character a few years ago that is not too far away from this prompt, so I'm already familiar with some of the problems...
I'll go in a different direction. To be honest I didn't go with the most obvious answer in the last prompt and ended up losing a lot of time so here I'm just following the basic idea...
Here are my first sketches.

The difficult thing with elephants is that they have a big head compared to their body so you have to change that proportion to make the character look bulkier...
I'll try contrasting some big shapes with smaller ones like skulls.
The example in your prompt has three legs... Ō.O
