Dragon head, side profile, facing left. The snout is angular with pointed horns sweeping back along the jaw line, and theres a whole swept mane of spines running back from the skull that gives it that proper fantasy-creature silhouette. Jaw sits open just enough to show the fang tips in white. The eye is a single golden-yellow oval, small but the most eye-catching bit of the whole design, really punchy against all that blue.
Six colours total: the main body is cornflower blue with slate grey shading on the scale sections, deep navy for the shadow areas under the jaw and along the spine mane, white for the fang points and eye highlight, that gold-yellow for the eye itself, and black for all the outlines. The black outline work is what ties it together, youve got about 6,500 to 10,400 stitches in black at the mid-to-large sizes, which is alot of linework but it keeps every scale section reading as a distinct shape. Stitch count runs from 12,596 at from a 3-in chest up to 34,860 at the 7.5-inch top size.
A buyer ordered this for a school esports team jacket earlier this year, customising it as a team mascot patch on the back. She sent me a photo, the 6.5-in build on a navy canvas jacket, and the colour sat just right because the cornflower blue popped off the darker navy base rather than blending in. Worth knowing for fabric choice.
Reach out if you need the eye swapped to a different colour, Ive done red-eye and green-eye versions for a couple customers without much drama. Use heavy cutaway stabiliser behind denim or canvas, the directional scale fills need the fabric locked down firm or the scale edges start creeping. Dont hoop jersey for anything above the 4-inch size.

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.
