Baby dragon. Sitting down. Giant purple eyes taking up roughly half the face. The body is a round soft blue with little scale dots repeated across the chest and belly in a lighter shade. Tiny bat wings sit folded behind the shoulders, pale pink membrane with white veins. Blue spiky tufts above the ears like a lil crown. The tail curls around to the side and ends in a white tip. Its about as far from scary as a dragon can get while still technically being a dragon, and thats the whole point.
Dense design. 27,845 stitches at the smallest 3.51-inch size, going all the way up to 72,431 on the full 7.51-inch. Density at 1,288 is high so the texture sits thick and raised on the body sections. Those scale dots are individually stitched, its what pushes the count up and gives the chest that real fabric-texture look. 9 sizes total so ya can go small for a kids cap or full large for a hoodie back panel. Dont rush the wings and eye sections, theyre the most delicate and the tension matters there.
My daughter spotted this one when I was drawing it and asked me to put it on her school bag. So I did. Since then I get orders from people doing fantasy-themed kids rooms, gaming merch and custom plush labels. One customer last week stitched the 5-inch on a navy cotton tee and said it turned out way better than she expected at that density. She sent me a photo, the purple irises and pale wing tips really pop on dark fabric. Its a genuinely good result.
Back it with woven cutaway for on anything with stretch, and on woven cotton or denim a medium tearaway works fine for the smaller sizes. Slow the machine down for the scale-dot sections on the body, the short stitches at high density can pile up if the machine runs too fast. Best on dark fabric, navy, charcoal or black all make the purple eyes and pale wings stand out sharply. Avoid cream or white, the blue-on-pale reads flat and you lose all that depth.

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.
