Description
I drew this by hand but I wanted to see if I could make it look more-or-less exactly like the official artwork for Super Paper Mario.Bit of a reminder for people who don't remember who Bonechill is: That giant ice-dragon skeleton with a cannon. There are hints that he originally was a Nimbi (Angel in Super Paper Mario) and I wound up sketching out a possible original form.
I was going to make his wings white but I felt that would look bland.

Bonechill proboly got sick of being surrounded by canadians all day, then he snapped. (nimbis look like south park canadians)

I could had but most Nimbis are yellow in color with differently colored "petal" wings. Since Grambi has rainbow-wings, I wanted to give a slight visual nod to him having the power to contest with the Heavenly Father.
In Dante's Inferno, Satan is described as a massive beast-man with three heads sealed in a block of ice in the deepest part of Hell. Considering Bonechill's name and appearance in the game, I figured that the blue color of his bones, the white bird-like wings, and the overall draconian appearance were signs of not only his corruption but his fall from grace and the weakening as a result of his imprisonment for aeons. Not to mention I saw the character's appearance as a nod in itself to the Bible (specifically the seven-headed dragon identified as Satan in the Book of Revelation) and the Ninth Circle of Hell in Dante's Inferno.

No problem and don't worry, I just overthink ideas and keep wondering and wondering until I reach some explanation.
If I kept up that sort of in-depth interest with other things, then I'd be set for schoolwork.

There were hints? Really? Huh, I must have missed them... Curses, I loved the Underwhere and Overthere, and I love backstories...

It's mostly the wings' shapes and the Tattle.
