Flaming Fox Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Flaming fox is the fiercest piece in my wildlife range and frankly its drawn in tattoo flash style. Red fox sits upright facing forward, head lowered just enough so the golden amber eyes glare up at you. Ears prick sharp, charcoal black ink hatching defines the muzzle and chest fur. Two stylised flame tendrils curl up from either side of the body like a mystical aura. Long fluffy tail wraps around the front in deep crimson with a cream tip. Reads like a wild animal fire spirit.

Closer in, the ink linework is whats doing the work here. Black hatching defines every cheek tuft, every tail strand, every flame curl, no flat panels anywhere on the body. Red fur uses 2 reds layered: vivid scarlet on the body and a deeper crimson for shadow rolls under the chest and around the eye sockets. Cream chest patch is a soft sateen fill that fades into the scarlet through 3 thread blends. Eyes are tiny golden amber tatami fills with sharp black slit pupils. Theres 8 thread changes total but the layering makes it read as 12.

I drew this last halloween for a tattoo artist friend in portland, shes wanted a flash sheet design she could turn into shop merch. After her booth went up at a halloween convention one customer ordered 12 of the 7-inch version for her crews staff hoodies. People have been ordering it for halloween costume capes, mystical creature tee runs, fox sanctuary fundraiser hoodies, dadventure mountain crew jackets, and tattoo studio waiting room cushion covers. A regular bought 6 last november for her brothers wolf-pack birthday party, theyve sold the lot.

Best on dark or muted fabric so the scarlet really sings against the cloth. Pop it on a black tee, charcoal hoody, deep navy canvas, oatmeal linen, or cream cotton and the flame tendrils read electric. Skip red shirts because the scarlet fur merges into the fabric and youll lose the entire fox. Avoid fluffy fleece bc the loops chop the fine ink hatching, the tattoo flash feel goes mushy. Cream linen is gorgeous if youre after a vintage tattoo poster vibe.

9 sizes from 2.45 inches up to 5.25 wide. Stitch count climbs from 21k to 55.7k so the biggest version wants a heavy cutaway stabiliser, slow speed, and a sharp 75/11 needle for the satin flame. Tearaway works on canvas. Hoop tight bc the 8 colour swaps need a stable base for the flame curls to hold their shape. Send a chat if any flame tendril reads off and Ill rework the file by morning. Sometimes same evening if I see it in time.
