Bring retro menace to your next project with this split portrait embroidery design, showing a warrior face on one side and a skull-faced villain on the other, divided by a vertical sword. The single visible eye, bared teeth, flowing hair and deep hood give it that unmistakable cartoon pop-culture drama, with yellow, purple, black, grey, tan and white doing the heavy lifting. It suits fans who like their film and superhero-inspired stitching a little darker and more graphic, rather than cute or throwaway.
This is the kind of design that works especially well centred on the back of a black hoodie, on a denim jacket panel, or on a sturdy tote for convention days. With 5 thread colours and a moderately dense build, it has enough detail to keep the face split and sword line crisp without turning into a fussy, overworked piece. The larger size range makes it easy to use as a statement motif on heavier fabrics that can carry strong outlines and solid areas of fill.
