Mooncinder's Vigil – Dragonbeat Series, No. 6 
 
Original Acrylic on Canvas
24" x 36” gallery canvas
Unframed - $1,295
 
Soaring through the night sky lit by moonlight and magic, Mooncinder's Vigil captures the guardian of the night in her element - fierce, glowing, and utterly watchful.
 
This large-format acrylic painting brings to life Mooncinder, the Scorchtail Phoenix and protector of the Breyerwood Sanctum. Her glowing feathers mirror the ethereal auroras that dance across the canvas, while her sweeping wingspan cloaks the land below. Beneath her gaze, a village sleeps - unaware that its safety lies in the vigilance of this majestic sentinel. 
 
Created during a quiet, soulful moment in the artist's studio - with a full moon overhead and a certain detective TV show humming in the background - this piece marks a return to peace after an intense creative burst. It's a painting born of stillness, protection, and the beauty of watching over what matters most. 
 
Bonus detail: When the lights go out, the legend comes to life. Glow-in-the-dark paint reveals a secret layer - Mooncinder and the moon itself shine through the shadows, along with celestial trails and enchanted cloudforms that appear only in the dark. It's a night watch like no other. 
 
Acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas, sealed for protection and ready to hang. This is a statement piece - moody, radiant, and filled with story.

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.
