Hello, I’m Xavvi Luin! An artist who draws all kinds of creatures and loves creating settings with AU.

If you’re more interested in AU or Settings, read on.

— My personal setting called DeI — a world where humans coexist with hybrids (also known as ferals, anthros, and dragons). A world inspired by science fiction, divided into three superpowers: IPC, UNR, and the Cyborgs. Strongholds of technology and knowledge that impress anyone with their sheer scale. The three powers are never at rest, constantly locked in an endless war of interests. Yet at the same time, none of them can exist without the others. Biopunk, massive cities, and slightly post-apocalyptic vibes.

— Wings of Fire AU — where I rework the canon and, from the very dawn of the world, darker laws prevail. Here, the Queens are noticeably larger and more ferocious than their subjects, while their husbands are, on the contrary, smaller and more modest. Manifestations of dragon magic demand a tribute of their own, sometimes paid in blood; the LeafWings were completely exterminated, while the HiveWings feast upon their graves and glorify the greatness of the Pantalan Empire. Middle Ages, dark realism, matriarchy.

— Cult of the Lamb AU — the Lamb is dead, and the Bishops celebrate the final victory of the Old Faith. However, events take a grim turn when a special dish is served at the feast — the meat of a young rabbit. Slavic fantasy, tragedy, reflections on life and death.

I also occasionally post sketches for random fandoms that suddenly catch my interest — Transformers, Hazbin Hotel, Ice Age, and over time there will be even more of them.I also occasionally post sketches for random fandoms that suddenly catch my interest — Transformers, Hazbin Hotel, Ice Age, and over time there will be even more of them.

For some people, this is just another Pride artwork, but for me it's a pretty important step.

Both this couple and my LGBTQ+ characters have existed for a long time, and I had been planning to draw something for Pride for years. But every time, I was held back by a sense of shame.

Even among my friends, I would personally censor any mention of LGBTQ+ topics because of that shame and fear of judgment. I always used more neutral terms when referring to Turbo and Tune, like "friend" or "neighbor," even though they had already been in a relationship in the canon at that point.

But gradually, something started to change. I began to feel more comfortable and open, drawing them more often and cautiously mentioning the true nature of their relationship. And this artwork became the turning point — the final step out of the closet.

Just a small sketch animation because I found the audio track really funny and fitting for Cultistka’s personality. Most of the time she’s a rather melancholic, even depressive creature with a gloomy disposition and few words, but sometimes something in her flips the other way, and she starts acting extravagant, unpredictable, and occasionally dangerous to those around her.

Her assistant Dresa encountered her manic side for the first time today...

And here is my small long-term project consisting of four pages.

I would be very grateful for feedback, as I’m extremely interested in hearing your thoughts about the art style and the characters.

A little about the characters:

👁‍🗨 Araneus. A minor aristocrat and a failure, exiled from Pantala for murdering the servant of an important noble. 👁‍🗨 Scolia. An aristocrat from the upper circles who was supposed to inherit her parents’ work in the future, and has been helping them with it until now. 👁‍🗨 Piranha. A hybrid who fled from her family nest after killing her sister.

And yes, HiveWings are actually quite racist. They really are more technologically advanced and tend to think more about culture and humanity, which makes them rather arrogant toward the inhabitants of Pyrrhia. Even their SilkWing servants are, in their opinion, better than the savages of Pyrrhia. But considering the Pyrrhians’ significant numerical advantage, their larger size, and their ferocity, they are not the kind of people you’d want to openly conflict with. Because of this, the Pantalan dragons remain fairly polite around them and allow themselves racist remarks only within their own circles.

Piranha, being sky-sea, didn’t inherit any particularly special abilities. She has no fire, no gills, and even her glowing stripes are underdeveloped.

However, being sky-born, she inherited a large lung capacity from her mother. On its own, this might not have mattered much, but being half sea-dragon, Piranha always loved swimming. This trait allowed her to hold her breath for long periods of time.

She feels quite confident in the water for a sky dragon, though she is still a rather poor swimmer by sea-dragon standards.

Living among the sky dragons in their ancestral estate, she was fairly useless to them. But at some point they noticed her peculiar trait and decided to turn her into a nanny for dragonets who wanted to splash around in the river. The adults were indifferent to water and often to watching the children, but letting them go alone wasn’t an option due to predators.

So Piranha turned out to be very convenient. Everyone was satisfied. Everyone except Piranha herself.

Turbo has arrived in the UNR and is now near the very base of the wall, somewhere closer to the Middle Floors, where rays of light still manage to peek through.

The base of the wall is massive and majestic. It also serves as a local cemetery, but more on that later.

TW: Funeral traditions, blood, death

In the UPR, it is believed that the soul of a living being resides in the blood. A creature dies when its blood drains out or deteriorates due to illness. Therefore, after death, they cut off the head of the deceased and drain the blood so the soul can be released faster. If this is not done, the soul can get stuck in the dead body and will be extremely displeased.

Fan fact: When the first emigrants arrived in the UNR, they were unaware of local traditions and were horrified that the locals desecrated the bodies of their comrades and didn’t allow them peace even after death. They considered this tradition an act of hostility.

After performing the manipulations to release the soul, the body and blood was burned, the skull cleaned, and along with the ashes it was taken to the local cemetery embedded in the wall. It is believed that in this way, the ancestors protect their descendants from all misfortunes, literally becoming a wall in front of them.

It’s nice to see how my lineless little cuties turn out better and better each time.

I was really excited to get this character, since I love drawing fire and sharp lighting.

Almost immediately, the idea of a kind of forest “fire” came to mind.

[xavviluin05]

Lower Floors

Dark, not rising above the city walls. Sunlight is rare, and in the deepest areas many districts are abandoned.

At the beginning of the UNR’s history, it was struck by epidemics that wiped out entire neighborhoods. Despite their enormous size, the garns were too densely populated.

Even now, occasional outbreaks occur, acting as a natural regulator of the urban population.

The climate is stifling, humid, and smoky due to factories operating in the lower levels.

The very bottom is a labyrinth, hiding ancient diseases, cultists, cannibals, and simply insane people trapped in time.

Middle Floors

Here, it’s more of a cozy semi-darkness. The streets are fairly civilized, with concrete buildings reaching upwards, their roofs sometimes adorned with ivy, trees, and other greenery.

Abandoned areas are rare; life flows quietly here, but in its own cozy way.

In the garns, the main mode of transportation is via cable-suspended pathways.

Upper Floors

Always bathed in sunlight. Here, they can afford larger windows, and the building structures include more metal. Greenery is abundant, and the streets resemble a sparkling sci-fi city.

!! Not canon DeI !! Just for fun

Turbo — more battle-ready and more laid-back.

He is in charge of wealth, prosperity, and its preservation. People offer him various valuables, and in return, he multiplies the donor’s luck.

As a deity, he’s egocentric and capricious, but not cruel. His wrath can only be provoked by theft or deceit. He punishes thieves, swindlers, and marauders.

Despite his temperamental nature, he is gracious even toward small offerings; for him, the intent behind the gift matters most. He values even the tiniest gifts from the poor and looks down on stingy rich people.

He can bring misfortune to those who are miserly.

A bit of Kultistka aesthetics~

[xavviluin05]

Turbo strolls through the fairly civilized Middle Floors of Skal'garrn, where the middle class actually lives.

Alas, hybrids aren’t particularly welcome there, so all that’s left is to sneak glances at a “normal” world — a world where you don’t have to think about hunting just to survive, peering into the dangerous, long-abandoned depths of the garn.

SkyWings are dragons with the hottest flames and the largest wings.

If SandWings take pride in their thick manes, sturdy builds, and large, barbed stingers, then in SkyWing culture a beautiful dragon is one with a broad chest, a long neck, tail, and horns, as well as large wings.

SkyWings are accomplished smiths. Their large wings can be used as additional limbs, allowing them to free their forelegs for more precise work.

The greatest pride of the SkyWings is their spears. Few other dragons are capable of standing on their hind legs and wielding them.

Spears are an extremely useful weapon, since many battles are actually fought on the ground. A dragon’s wings are its most vulnerable part, which they strive to protect even if doing so hinders or completely deprives them of flight.

Spears proved their undeniable superiority in the old battles, when no one yet knew of them. And although today SkyWings are still considered excellent fighters and often act as mercenaries, many armies — taught by bitter experience — now employ both aerial and ground troops.
