Just a bit ugly

This one is part of those ideas that come in an instant, take rezonably short to model, but eats many days of your life with rendering experiments.
And don't ask me what it represents, all I know is that it somewhat resembles an elephant, is ugly and fat.
I started with a base mesh in 3Ds Max, exported it to ZBrush for modeling and then back to 3Ds.
I experimented a lot with translucency, I wanted the model to look as it's made of wax...the second and the third picture represent just that. It looks a bit too transparent, but I like that.
