The boxer face fills the whole frame. Big blocky head, those deep amber eyes looking slightly off to the right like hes listening for something. The forehead wrinkles are stitched in directional runs that follow the natural fold lines so it actually looks like skin bunching up. Its kinda the small detail that makes the whole thing feel real rather than flat.
Burnt orange is the dominant colour, covering most of the face and the floppy ears. Cream white comes in on the muzzle area and the chin. Two shades of grey build the shadow volumes under the jaw and around the jowls, and pure white handles the whisker spots and the catchlight in each eye. 5 colour changes total, 4 stops. Stitch count goes from 26,000 on the smallest 3.27-inch up to 61,000 on the full 7-inch portrait size, so dont underestimate how much thread its gonna use on the big version.
I get messages from boxer mums and boxer dads all the time on this one. One customer ordered 3 runs on charcoal cotton tees as gifts for her whole family after their dog passed. She told me the design realy captured him. That kind of feedback is why I put so much time into the directional fur digitising on this one.
Charcoal and black fabric are where this really performs. The burnt orange pops hard against dark grounds and the cream muzzle stays bright. Skip white or pale yellow fabric because the cream and white thread areas completely disappear. Use firm cutaway stabiliser underneath, the 61k stitch density on the big size needs proper backing. Dont rush through the directional sections on the wrinkled forehead either, slowing the machine speed keeps those satin columns sitting correctly. Ping me a chat if your machine struggles with the density and Ill sort a lighter version for you.

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.
