Bring bold anime character to your stitching with this framed portrait of an elderly man in unmistakable old-master style: bald head, sweeping white moustache, small beard, pink sunglasses and a purple hat above an orange robe. The square red border gives the whole design a poster-like finish that makes the face feel even more graphic and self-contained. It suits anime fans who like their embroidery with a bit of attitude, and it has enough personality to hold its own as a single feature design.
With 8 thread colours and a dense, heavily stitched build, this is the kind of piece that shows up best on sturdy items such as black hoodies, denim jackets, canvas totes or the back of a twill shirt. The strong blocks of red, orange and purple read clearly against dark fabrics, while the white facial hair and pink glasses keep the expression crisp. If you want an anime design that looks deliberate and substantial rather than light or sketchy, this one has the weight and colour contrast to do it.
