Bring gothic fantasy to your stitching with this arresting portrait of a young woman framed by a coiled dragon, sweeping wing and curling ornamental vines. The contrast between her long wavy hair, red rose, tattooed skin and armoured shoulder piece gives the design a strong character-led feel rather than a simple creature motif. With horns, scales and layered shades of blue, green, red and purple against black, grey and white, it will especially appeal to fans of anime-inspired fantasy and darker magical artwork.
This is the kind of design that suits the back of a black denim jacket, the front of a sweatshirt, a canvas tote or a cushion in a reading nook with a fantasy theme. The tall, flowing composition helps it sit well on larger uninterrupted areas of fabric, where the dragon's body and the woman's hair can keep their movement. Dark fabrics will make the pale skin tones, blue highlights and red rose stand out beautifully, while sturdier bases such as denim, twill and heavy cotton will support the richly detailed look.
