Dune buggy mid-jump kicking up a fan of yellow dust, ripping across orange sand. Bright sky blue body, big black knobby tyres, roll cage up top, and the lil driver tucked behind the wheel. Behind the buggy theres this striped sunset hanging low, half mustard yellow and half rust orange, with a brown ridge of mountains cutting across the middle. The whole scene sits on a splashy field of orange and tan, like the dirt got kicked up when the buggy ripped past.
The linework on the mountains is real loose and sketchy, almost like ink scribbles, which keeps the design from feeling stiff. Black outlines hold every panel of the buggy together so you can read the windscreen, the bumper, the suspension arms even at 3.5 inch. Roughed this out last summer for a buyer building merch for a desert rally crew, he wanted the sunset feel without going full cartoon. So we kept the buggy crisp and let the background go painterly.
Run the biggest 7.5-inch on a black or charcoal hoodie back panel and the rust splash just lights up against dark cotton. The mid 5-inch sits great on a stone canvas tote for trail kit, the tyre detail still reads at that scale. Skip thin jersey aswell because 77k stitches is alot of thread to dump on stretch fabric, you'll get puckering even with topping. Pair it with denim jackets or twill workshop shirts for the best texture.
Densest blocks are the dust cloud splash and the black tyres so dont skip a medium cutaway stabiliser. Hoop firm, drop the speed for the directional stitching on the rocks, the satin edges around the buggy panels need a clean run or the windows wash out. Wilcom held the colour changes nice and tight, theres only 14 thread swaps even with 15 colours. Hit me up on chat if your machine struggles with the density and ill cut a leaner version.

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.
