Heres the neon game controller and its loud as heck. The controller sits dead centre on 5 inches of canvas, drawn in clean outline strokes with two thumbsticks, a directional pad, four face buttons and the slim bar across the top. Behind it, hot pink, cyan and yellow paint splatter blasts outwards atleast a dozen directions like a shockwave just hit.
Five colours stack across the design. Black structure lines hold the controller shape. Cyan washes the top half. Hot pink drips down through the bottom and ya get yellow rays punching out behind everything. The drip effect down the bottom of the controller is the part that kinda steals the show, paint runs straight off the grips like its melting.
Last month one customer grabbed the 7-inch version for esports tournament prize hoodies and the cyan really popped on black fleece. I made this with gamer merch in mind. Twitch streamer hoodies, retro arcade cafe staff shirts, console pouch fronts. The 23k stitch top size runs dense at the splatter rays so use a sturdy cutaway stabiliser. The directional fills do alot of work keeping the rays crisp.
Stitch this on plain dark fabric for max neon pop. Black, charcoal or deep navy let the cyan and pink basically glow. Skip light fabric, the colours wash out and lose the arcade feel. Avoid heavily textured fleece aswell because the line-art controller body needs a flat surface to read clean.
Hoop tight and run the black outlines last so they sit on top of the splatter fills. Use poly thread for sheen, rayon if you want it slightly suprised by the light. Holler on chat when the file gives trouble and ill swap it same day.

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.
