Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3's Artwork...

I've been noticing a lot of Wario Land: SML3 concept art of bosses and enemies around the web, but my question is this: Where did they come from? I've looked at scans of the booklet and there's only artwork of Wario. I've been trying to find as many of them as I could, so here's what I've found so far:
Toge_Bro.jpg

Toge Bro, the boss of Rice Beach. There are actually several images of this guy around the web, probably the most common one.

This one's Beefne, the boss of Mt. Teapot. Found this one on the Super Mario Wiki.

And then there's this artwork of Denpu, the boss of Syrup Castle. I found it on "Vanilla Dome".

Last but not least, Captain Syrup. Found it on Mario Wiki.

So, we're missing the one's for Hinyari, Funfun, Zenisuki and Bobo. Any ideas where they are?

Maybe some Japanese strategy guide or something? Or an old official website?

Cause the official website has some interesting ones:

Great find! I wouldn't expect that to even be up anymore. There's a gold mine of the enemies' concept art, but still no bosses...

A Japanese strategy guide (if there is one) is probably our best bet, or if there are some strategy guides in other countries (besides PAL regions and the USA).
 
yooooooo @Pigmask Colonel

An admin in the mariowiki discord posted a page from the "Super Mario Daizukan" (Great Picture book). It has the ~mysterious Captain Syrup artwork~ in the OP, but in alternate colours (as well as an side-view profile I don't think is actually anywhere online)

Hey! That picture of Mario adoring is in Super Mario Bros. Deluxe!
Also, why does the speech read from top to bottom, instead of from left to right? Edit: I've now realised that this is the case in other comics as well. Hm, interesting.

I think I remember seeing some of these in Nintendo Power.
Japanese magazines I'm sure had them too
