Some paintings whisper, some roar.
Mooncinder arrived in silence.
 
Not the silence of nothingness, but of presence - the kind that makes you stop and take notice. She stepped into the canvas cloaked in shadow, her feathers glowing faintly, as if the moon itself had brushed her with light. I thought I was painting another dragon, but Mooncinder had other plans. She came not to pose, but to reign.
 
Every stroke revealed more of her dual nature - majestic and untouchable, yet deeply protective. Her eyes held the cold clarity of starlight, her tail shimmered with fire, and her wings seemed heavy with the weight of night. At times she looked at me with a regal sort of impatience, as if I wasn’t keeping up with her grandeur. Then, in softer moments, her glow shifted, and I felt the quiet strength of a guardian who would fight to the last ember for what she loves.
 
Mooncinder didn’t just take her place on the canvas. She claimed her crown in the Dragonbeat world, stepping beside Smolderdash and proving that the night can blaze every bit as brightly as the day.
 
This painting is for anyone who has ever carried both calm and fire inside them - who has stood tall in the dark, glowing quietly, until the moment came to burn bright.

About the Dragonbeat Series
 
Each Dragonbeat painting is more than art - it’s a living character. Every brushstroke brings to life a dragon with its own lore, personality, and place in the Breyerwood Sanctum, the fantasy world at the heart of Dragonbeat magazine.
 
Unlike my other paintings, these creatures don’t stop at the canvas. They step beyond it - becoming cover models, story anchors, and guardians of their own legends. With each piece, you’re not just collecting a painting, you’re adopting a character whose tale continues to grow as the Dragonbeat world unfolds.
 
That’s why these works hold a unique value. They’re part fine art, part storytelling, and part world-building - originals that exist at the crossroads of painting and myth. Owning one means holding both a piece of art and a piece of lore that will never be repeated.
