So Heres the astronaut galaxy and its full neon synthwave energy. A spacesuit figure floats mid-frame, helmet visor reflecting nothing but black void, with an electric magenta and purple cosmic swirl wrapping all around the body like a portal opening up. Three planets hang in the swirl. A teal blue one upper left, a small ringed Saturn lower right, and a mustard orange one peeking through the flames near the boots.
Whats wild is the colour layering. 13 thread changes carry electric purple and neon magenta as the dominant tones, then teal and sky blue cut through for the helmet and gloves, mustard orange flames lick out from behind the suit and white stars get sprinkled across the negative space. Halftone dot shading gives it that vintage 80s arcade poster feel and proper directional satin runs along the suit fabric folds.
I built this for the streetwear and gaming merch lot, ya know lil shops doing retro tee drops and sci-fi fan apparel. Last christmas one customer ordered the 10.5 inch version for a hoodie back panel run and the magenta absolutely popped under store lighting. People doing climate awareness merch or sci-fi gamer apparel get atleast a few orders a month for similar designs from me.
Stitch only on dark fabric. Pop it on a black tee, deep navy hoodie or charcoal fleece because those let the neon palette sing. Skip white or cream entirely, the magenta gets washed out and the purple vanishes against light cotton because theres no contrast left to carry the synthwave look.
Density hits a heavy 61k count on the 7.5 inch piece, so pair it with a strong cutaway stabiliser underneath, hoop tight and run polyester thread for proper wash durability. Ease the machine speed through the helmet halftone zone, those dots are tight and crowd up if you go fast. Drop me a line in chat if a colour stop confuses your machine, atleast send a photo of where it stalled.

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.
