The abstract colorful dragon takes the classic dragon shape and breaks it into flat graphic colour sections, its like someone drew a dragon as a stained glass window. The body curves and spirals in a loose S-shape with wings fanning out wide at the sides, but none of the sections are shaded or blended. Each part is a different bold flat colour with dark outline stitching separating em all.
Six colours including teal, coral, purple and yellow, the dark navy outline is what holds the whole thing together visually. Stitch count tops out at 28,920 on the largest size, that density is actually manageable compared to some of my more detailed designs. Hoop it on a medium tearaway stabiliser for woven fabric, cutaway for any stretch knit or fleece.
I started selling this one heavily around halloween and comic conventions last year, people order it for costumes and fan gear. One customer told me send me message if I ever made a matching phoenix, which I thought was a great idea honestly. a 4-inch centre on a black duck-cloth tote is probably the most popular combination Ive seen.
Available in 9 sizes, smallest is 2.65 inches wide and largest is 5.67 inches. Use it on cotton, denim, fleece or canvas. Avoid very pale fabric if you want the colours to really pop since the teal and coral read best on navy, black or charcoal backgrounds.
Message me if theres a file load problem and Ill fix it same day.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
