Shadow of the Sanctum – Dragonbeat Series, No. 7 
 
Original Acrylic on Canvas
24" x 30” gallery canvas
Unframed - $1,080
 
Shadow of the Sanctum captures the first confirmed sighting of Dragonsquatch, the mythical mischief-maker of the Breyerwood Sanctum. Caught in mid-lurk as he vanishes into the fog, this elusive dragon-cryptid leaves behind only glowing footprints, smoldering secrets, and the smell of toasted sugar.
 
This original acrylic painting blends the atmospheric mystery of classic cryptid lore with the magic of fantasy realism. Layered forest glazes, soft moonlight, and wisps of curling fog reveal just enough of the creature to keep you wondering - was that rustling in the woods... or just the wind?
 
Textured and expressive, this piece is full of hidden brushwork and cheeky story hints (yes, that is a torchlit cave back there - snack hoard, anyone?). Signed and sealed by the artist. 
 
Perfect for fantasy collectors, cryptid hunters, and fans of dragons with a smirk.

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.
