The lion is front-facing, cream and white muzzle front and center, with that intense wildlife stare. Big brown face, thick mane fanning out around it, a gold royal crown sitting right on top like it owns the place. The crown has a cross finial and a row of blue sapphire-style stones around the band. Its got that proper regal jewelry look, not just a flat outline.
I digitised this one with 11 separate thread colours so theres real depth in the fur. Brown on brown on cream, with each layer stitched in a different direction so the mane actually reads as natural hair rather than a flat brown blob. Satin column work on the muzzle, aqua highlights in the eyes. Stitch count runs from 26,594 on the smallest size up to nearly 68,000 on the largest, so the bigger sizes take awhile on the machine.
A customer last month ordered this for a mens jacket back panel and sent me a photo when it was done. Came out exactly how I hoped, honestly. The 5.94 inch width fills a back panel without going over the seams. Cream shirts work fine but the most striking results Ive seen are on black or navy fabric where the gold stands out against the dark background. Wild animal designs like this just hit different on dark base colours.
Use a good cutaway stabiliser, not tearaway. With 73 trims and 10 color changes theres alot of thread movement and you need proper backing to hold everything in place while you swap threads. Hoop tight before you start. Dont rush the stitching speed on dense sections. Slow it down and youll get much crisper edges on the satin fills.

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.
