mudwings are really cool guys i promise 😭

more headcannons under the cut!

MudWings are the strongest and biggest of the ten tribes. With this strength, comes sometimes slower and more rigid moments, leading to the stereotype that MudWings are less intelligent.

Size (biggest to smallest)

MudWings

HiveWings

SkyWings

SandWings

LeafWings

IceWings & NightWings (approx the same on average lol)

SeaWings

RainWings

SilkWings

Umber, despite being a smaller than average MudWing, is still bigger and stronger than most dragons. With the added benefit of being faster than most other MudWings.

Fashion isn’t a big hit for most MudWings, as it interferes with their wallowing! Instead, many MudWings embed gems in their scales or grow plants between their scales as accessories.

Notable features are huge claws for digging, tusks, club tails, the ability to breathe fire, and very tough scales.

Tusks get larger with age, and are said to have been used in duels in ages past, now they’re more for mate appeal.

you’ve seen red seawing, and banana icewing, and suspiciously-mango-shaped nightwing, now get ready for blueberry mudwing

Aaron Waltke says if he were a Wings of Fire dragon, he'd be a MudWing/NightWing hybrid!

I love your art! Would it be possible to do a redesign of Blister or Queen Moorhen or Sky?

♥️

Thanks so much!! Here's my Queen Moorhen redesign:

As it turns out, this is actually the first mudwing redesign on my blog!

I honestly didn't want to change too much of her design at first, since I already liked Queen Moorhen's color scheme and thought the guide to the tribes did a really good job of illustrating her. However, I did have beef with her lack of drip, which is where this redesign started. For a queen, I thought that the jewels inlaid in her scales were cool but not nearly enough. My girl deserves more: so I gave her more.

This redesign aims to put a little bit more detail in Moorhen's current design: I tried my best to give her what I think would be royal scale patterns, using recurring patterns to give her a regal, almost terracotta-plate look. I spread her scale jewels more evenly throughout her design by adding them to her body and tail, and also bulked her up with some more jewelry all around. The most dramatic change I made was definitely to her wings, which got a whole makeover with some blue tones and a recurring eyeball pattern to match all the dots she already had. I chose to use eyes near her wings mostly because I thought it added to her intimidation factor, as well as making it look like she was 'always watching' which can give connotations of control and power. Queen Moorhen is seriously such an underrated queen, and personally I think she's going to outlive all of the other queens we started with in arc 1. I mean, she's only got to beat Coral (and Sequoia?) now, so it could happen.

As always, thanks so much for checking in for these redesigns! If you want to submit a character, my inbox is open and you can use my pinned post to find all other reqs + posts!

I also have a discord + art comp running, which you can access here!
