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

Commissions - OPEN Collabs - FRIENDS ONLY Trades - FRIENDS ONLY Requests - NEVER

If you’re just interested in pretty artwork, you can check it out under the #Xavvi_Art tag.

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.

Art for TheAlaskanDragon

I finally finished one very long-term commission (or, more specifically, a YCH).

Since the client wanted to use the artwork as their computer desktop wallpaper, I felt a lot of responsibility from the very beginning. I wanted to make it as perfect as I could, so the whole process ended up taking much longer than expected.

But hooray—it's finally finished!

Rabbits! I'm so obsessed with rabbits! I actually did a similar attack two years ago, but honestly, looking at the background there makes me cringe now. So here’s a fresh, new, and updated rabbit town.

Art for @hrair0o, сrownonychus, bunnoblizzard, linktree, KOEDEGA, sillflay, Familiar_rat, @hummingbird-moths, StarCanid, @rook-brightsilver, @savanemon, Koisticks, SketchyTwi, Larkthe3pic and  ScorchedPoet

Attack for @kosto4ka67, @blackberrys0da, @louixie, @class-euclid

Ten attacks! This year I set myself the goal of reaching thirty attacks, and I'm already one-third of the way there!

ArtFight attack for @xavviluin05

[xavviluin05]

ArtFight has me feeling incredibly inspired this year! I managed to finish six attacks in just the first few days—that's already more than half of my total from last year, which took me the whole month.

This time I intentionally chose a simpler style so I could attack as many people as possible. My dream goal is 30 attacks—one every day of the event—but we'll see if I can pull it off!

Attack for BARSUK, @varverine, Astik, GRIMD4RK, @kentvejaar, @ingridskogstad

WeLcOmE tO tHe AmAzInG dIgItAl CiRcUs! Oh—wait, wrong script.

Ahem… Anyway, feel free to take a look at my circus troupe inspired by a comedy team. I usually don’t put this much effort into my ArtFight profile, but the idea of turning my characters into a circus troupe (even if only for this occasion) was just too tempting. I worked really hard to make sure the clowns didn’t look too similar to each other, and I think it turned out pretty well!

Prize for a raffle that was held on another one of my social media accounts.

As always, cats are a real challenge for me, so this piece took a bit longer than expected. But hooray, I finally finished it!

I've also been trying to diversify the color palettes in my artwork. Lately, I feel like I've gotten stuck using my favorite colors over and over again, and my pieces have started to feel a bit repetitive. I've never really enjoyed drawing the same thing all the time, so experimenting with new colors has been a fun change

[xavviluin05]

A few commissioned icons because people suddenly seemed to like this style. I think I won’t take any more commissions in it for now, unless it’s an absolute last resort, because I’m planning to save it for icons of all my own characters and for Art Fight attacks. I wouldn’t want to burn out on it too soon

[xavviluin05]

I'm gradually starting to feel much more confident when it comes to backgrounds. It's even making me want to draw a fully rendered piece for myself.

The problem is that I've always struggled with coming up with ideas, especially ones that tell a story. I'm not sure why that is, but I guess years of doing commissions have trained my brain to bring other people's ideas to life rather than come up with my own

I drew the SandWing royal couple because I just couldn’t quite figure out their facial features and color palettes. I wanted to create something fairly original while still preserving a sense of resemblance between them

Khamsina is the Queen of the Sand Kingdom, infamous for her terrible temper and the countless executions of those who displease her. She executed her own husband simply because he irritated her. Her daughter, Ephedra, was the only dragon in the entire kingdom who was never at risk of being killed by the Queen — though this was not out of love, but merely because she was Khamsina’s sole heir.

Khamsina could appear caring and generous because she was a narcissist who enjoyed presenting herself as a good person, but all of that vanished the moment someone dared to oppose her. Ephedra grew up withdrawn, quiet, and obedient, which somewhat disappointed Khamsina, who often reproached her daughter for failing to live up to her status.

At one point, Ephedra fell in love with a NightWing dragon and fled the palace with him, but they were both captured by the guards and brought back, where Khamsina killed the lover for daring to dishonor her daughter. Some time later, however, Ephedra laid an egg and desperately begged her mother to spare the dragonet’s life, swearing she would become the most obedient and worthy daughter possible. Khamsina agreed, but only on the condition that no one would ever learn about Desert Night — the name Ephedra gave her daughter — and that the child would never claim the throne.

For many years, the half-blood only caught the Queen’s attention when Khamsina needed leverage over Ephedra, threatening the life of her child. But Khamsina’s thirst for control eventually went even further: she decided she wanted another granddaughter whom she could “raise properly, since there is no hope left for you, my daughter.” Ephedra refused, and only fresh threats toward Night forced her to agree to marriage. Yet a few days later, Ephedra fled again — this time alone.

The search eventually led to the discovery of her dead body at the age of twenty-seven by human standards, and Khamsina was furious. She had lost her only heir. Reluctantly, she was forced to recognize her granddaughter, Night, as the new heiress. Thus, for the first time, the palace officially learned of her existence.

The following years became a living hell for Desert Night, because she was now aggressively trained for the role of crown princess — a role that had once been completely closed to her. While her early life had been relatively free and ignored by everyone, now her grandmother’s attention was fixed entirely upon her. Khamsina believed she had spoiled Ephedra too much and was determined not to repeat the same mistake with Desert Night.

Unlike Ephedra, Night had not been crushed from childhood, and so she had managed to develop a strong will and personality of her own. The only difference was that Night skillfully concealed it beneath a mask of cold propriety. Her greatest dream and goal became killing the grandmother she hated so deeply, but she patiently waited for the right moment — and eventually, that opportunity came.

A guard around her own age took notice of Desert Night. He was part of a circle of revolutionaries plotting to overthrow Khamsina. Their plan lacked only one final piece: someone who would ascend the throne after the murder of the current Queen…

Finished YCH! While working on it, I got a little carried away drawing the grass and the rabbit's fur. I basically just kept adding random little strokes until it started looking nice

Fortune, also known as Tune, was Turbo's roommate during his time in IPC and is the biggest fashion icon in the capital.

Never quite satisfied with his rather ordinary and sometimes inconvenient appearance, this dire wolf eventually decided to make some drastic changes. He not only cut and dyed his mane but also had his ears and tail cropped in the name of beauty and personal style.

Below, you can see his appearance before and after these experiments with his looks.

Artwork for an event for Tancery VK

This piece gives me strong gemstone vibes — faceted, vibrant, and sparkling.

I'm slowly continuing to draw folder icons for my characters' art folders. The project is already about halfway finished, but I'm considering redrawing some of the older icons since they no longer match the overall style.

As a matter of fact, one of them has already been redrawn.

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...
