I think the BDS was from an art contest, so it's possible that the artist drew inspiration.

Dragons and Bones are pretty popular concepts in this particular genre of video games =P.

GW's BDS is pretty standalone... Bone Dragons are in the game and they're just named that because they're... bony dragons. The staff looks like it... voila!

Possible inspiration. We'll never know unless we ask the original creator of the drawing.

I think it is very likely inspired on it. Come on even the red heart on the middle.
