Three colours. Black, white and a burning amber-gold for the eyes. Thats it. And kinda the whole point is that the design earns everything from the stitching itself rather than from a full palette. The tiger stares straight forward, head squared, ears back, jaw tight. Every fur direction is stitched with proper satin columns that actually follow the muscle lines and bone shapes on the face. Black stripe arcs cut across the pale fur in bold geometric sweeps. Its genuinely one of the more technically demanding digitising jobs Ive done on something this constrained.
Those eyes are the thing people notice first. Two amber circles with dark pupils and radiating golden thread that catches light differently depending on the angle. my professional tool handled the density really carefully on the eye sections, you get that layered depth without puckering. At the biggest 7.51-inch, its 68k stitches. The smallest 3.51-inch comes in at 29k which is alot of detail packed into a small format. 8 sizes total.
I made this one originally for a denim jacket back panel request. The customer wanted something that read as proper art, not clip art. She sent photos last friday from a tattoo convention actually, the jacket got stopped by realy everyone. Since then it basically sells itself.
Stitch on black, charcoal or dark navy. The light fur and black stripes need dark fabric to hit properly. Cotton twill and denim both work brilliantly. Skip cream or pale fabric altogether, the fur tones disappear and you lose the whole contrast. Use a mesh cutaway stabiliser for woven fabrics and keep the machine running steady on the dense fur sections. Reach me if the amber eyes give trouble with colour matching and Ill give ya the exact thread values I used.

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.
