White space suit, backpack, visor, the astronaut is fully geared up and sitting astride a roaring teal T-rex like its an ordinary tuesday. The dinosaur charges forward, legs pumping, jaw open wide with the pink inside of the mouth showing, eye glowing a hot teal green. Orange accent markings streak down the dino spine and along the legs like speed lines. Behind them a dark circular portal swirls, a purple planet hangs to the left, a Saturn-style ringed planet sits below, a comet trails orange fire across the top right corner. Fourteen colours and every single one is working.
This hits 72k stitches at the full-size 7.5-inch size, kinda the most complex design Ive put out in the space-dino category. The dark portal and space sections use tatami fill which is what keeps the density manageable rather than trying to pack solid satin into wide areas. my usual software layered the astronaut suit in satin with shading lines added by a lighter running stitch on top of the base fill. The T-rex scales use directional stitching in alternating angles that gives the body real texture at close range. Colour separation here is realy clean given how much is happening.
I drew this one in march after my son kept asking for a dino shirt that was also a space shirt and I couldnt argue with the logic. Since then its been a top seller for kids birthday tees, novelty gifts for guys who grew up on dinosaur movies and space games, and a bunch of people doing custom backpack patches. One customer sent me photos of it on a black canvas backpack and it looked like a proper printed graphic, not stitched at all.
Run this on black or very dark fabric and let the teal and orange do the work. Charcoal fleece, black canvas, dark navy cotton all give this design the right backdrop. Avoid light fabric, the design wasnt built for it. Use a firm mesh cutaway stabiliser, 72k stitches on anything stretchy without solid backing will pull and distort the portal circle. Hoop tight and slow the machine down on the dense tatami sections if ya machine starts to struggle.

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.
