Jade Mountain Academy students
#5 - Mudwing chapter
This entry might feel a bit less diversified than the ones before it. These are two sets of siblings who shared their respective clutch, so there are a lot of physical elements that are shared between them (I try to keep siblings from the same clutch relatively similar-looking, see Winter and Icicle in part 2). I hope these Mudwings still look different enough. I also gave them light-colored jaws because Clay had it on the cover of his book and I think Mudwings look cute like that. It helps their faces stand out in the graphic novel style.

Newt is one of the Center's messengers, and he is responsible for the Morticians squad. He joined the Scavengers back in their golden era, being inspired by gang's ideals - or, rather, ideals that one of the Scavengers introduced to him. Soon enough Newt learned that the gang, in fact, was neutral and wasn't trying to stop the war, but by that time he had made friends among his “colleagues” and therefore decided to stay.
Newt is the true soul of the company, which has a great effect on the morale level in the Center, especially in light of some of the last year's events. Responsible and thorough in his work, he earned the respect of the gang's leader Varan, and his positive attitude was a pleasant contrast to the disposition of the average Scavenger.
In recent years, Newt has often begun to overstay with his respective squad, which is usually frowned upon for messengers, but in his case this fact is often overlooked - the Morticians, after all, are an extremely small team even by gang's standards, and the help of another adult dragon for them is very useful.
However, Newt tries not slack off to much - lenging any unneeded attention to himself or to the Morticians is the last thing he needs right now.

Also hello fellow Sepia fan :] Another suggestion: you could draw Sepia hanging out with Newt! (Cause they’re always seem to be together in the books) Or you could just share/doodle your designs and headcanons for them :D
YESS!! Sorry this took a while i wanted to give them some more love hence the full render :3
My love for those two started when i was making their designs and for some reason when I was drawing Newt i felt so many sudden emotions I almost started crying??? Still not sure why that happened but in that moment I decided that they are my children.
Since Newt's gender was never specified in the books I like to think they're non-binary. Sepia is transfem imo. I also like to think that Newt is very very tiny. Idk I just think it's cute :)
I'm still thinking up their backstory (let's be honest we'll never get it from canon so i think I'm free to make it up) but it's not my last time posting them so I think I'll have more time to share my hcs in the future.
Much love, Iwan.
