Description I guess this guy is a new character - like so many of my other "new characters" there's a good chance I'll never actually draw him again, but whatever.

The Bone Thief (also just known as Bones) is a lost soul who has fashioned a new body for himself out of dead animal's body parts (mostly from wolves and other canines).  He has a particular interest in bones and is obsessed with collecting them.  He is especially proud of his skull - which is why he keeps it exposed - and his tail is extra long because he keeps adding more vertebrae to it.
The lantern hanging from his tail acts as a vessel for a fellow disembodied soul.  His friend doesn't have a body as she disapproves of recycling body parts - so Bones just carries her around instead.

What an awesome character and an awesome drawing
The colours are well chosen and the detailes are amaizing
Also, I like your idea of the lantern

Your character reminds me of my own OC

He's an interesting character!
But I want to know more about his friend!

Why didn't he just use his own remains though?

Thank you!  I'm still working out their story but so far I know that Bones and his friend don't remember their past lives - something happened to them that caused their bodies to be either completely destroyed or forever lost to them in some way.

Wow, I love the idea behind this! It sounds like a genuine myth/lore, I'm assuming there's some inspiration in existing myths/lores?

Thanks, and I'm not sure what inspired this to be honest - I had the idea that I wanted to draw a character who looked like this and his backstory just came to me as I was drawing.
Although there might be similar myths and stories out there that I'm not aware of. ^^
