DRAGON MOON LAMP — COLLECTOR EDITION
A guardian of the night sky, curled around the fractured moon it swore to protect. This dramatic dragon sculpture captures the moment a celestial beast shields a fallen lunar shard — a relic of ancient magic and forgotten realms.
This piece began as a licensed STLFLIX design (lifetime membership), but has been significantly modified and elevated in‑studio. The dragon has been enlarged, refined, airbrushed, hand‑painted, sealed, and mounted on a velvet‑lined base. The result is a studio‑finished collector edition, not a raw print.
The glowing moon orb creates a soft, atmospheric light — perfect for fantasy shelves, gaming rooms, or anyone who collects mythical creatures and artisan display pieces.
Availability: This listing represents a single, active Collector Edition model — the photographed piece is the actual one available. After it sells, the next edition begins its creation. While the finishing style and color palette will remain faithful to the original, every Collector Edition carries individualized paint flow, tonal variation, and character. Should a subsequent edition differ significantly, new photos will be provided to maintain full transparency for collectors.

• Hand‑painted detailing across scales, wings, horns, and lunar textures
• Matte clearcoat sealed to protect the finish
• Velvet‑lined base for premium presentation

Each piece takes several days to print and moves through multiple artisan finishing stages before it’s ready for a collector.

BULB REPLACEMENT:
Bulb Replacement Instructions
If the G9 LED bulb ever needs replacing, follow these steps carefully:
- Gently twist the dragon sculpture off the base.
- It is secured but designed to detach for maintenance.
- Lift the moon orb straight up to access the bulb compartment.
- Pull the old bulb upward to remove it from the socket.
- Insert a new low‑heat G9 LED bulb.
- Reverse the process to reassemble:
- Place the moon back on its mount
- Align the dragon
- Carefully twist the dragon back onto the base
These steps ensure the lamp stays safe, stable, and undamaged during maintenance.
This piece reflects the time, materials, and craftsmanship required to produce a collector‑grade functional sculpture. The dragon and moon require a 45‑hour print, followed by airbrushing, hand painting, sealing, and lamp installation.

NOTES & CARE:
- NOT A TOY - Keep away from children.
- Keep away from heat sources and open flame
- Clean with a damp cloth — blot, don’t wipe to protect the hand‑finished surface.
- Do not pick up the piece by the wings, horns, or dragon body.
- Always lift from the base, as the dragon is securely attached but not designed to support weight.
- Avoid pressing on the wings, moon surface and crystal formations.
- Use only low‑heat G9 LED bulbs (included) replacement.
- Colors may vary slightly depending on lighting and the device you’re viewing it on.
Indoor use only.
