Shark vs Dragon Tribal Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Two creatures going at it, a mechanical-looking black and grey shark diving down from the upper right, mouth open, and a teal-green tribal dragon coiling up from below to meet it. The gap between them is filled with orange fire shapes that look like they could belong to either one. Its a clash scene and it reads that way even at smaller sizes, the eye goes straight to the tension in the middle.

5 colours in total: Black makes up the shark body, White handles the highlights and teeth, Orange fills the fire, a medium grey-blue does the shadow work, and teal green R10 G138 B133 covers the dragon. 5 colour changes total, so this one takes a bit of attention at the machine. Stitch range is 28,928 at the 3.27-inch smallest size up to 70,553 at the 6.99-inch largest, the high stitch count is all that orange fill and the teal dragon body packed in tight.

Density is 1344, that's the highest in this tribal series and you'll feel it on the bobbin side. Pop a firm cutaway stabiliser on, dont skip it, the dense orange sections especially will pull the fabric if youre only using a light tearaway. Hooped on black canvas the 5-inch version ran really clean, email a note with your machine model if something hiccups.

Use on black or very dark charcoal fabrics. The dragon's teal body reads best against black fabric, on grey it goes a bit flat. The orange fire pops on basically anything dark, which is why this one works well for halloween designs aswell as general fantasy or street wear themes.

I get messages from customers who want something with real visual conflict built in, not just one creature posing on its own. One person used this on a motorcycle club run jacket this past spring and it looked exactly right for that crowd. Email me after purchase if you need a colour swap or a size that isnt in the range.
