Bring dark anime drama to your stitching with this elegant portrait of a male ninja character, shown with long dark hair falling over one eye, vivid red eyes and a kunai held forward in an outstretched hand. The blue and purple clothing, mesh undershirt and forehead protector give it the layered look fans of brooding anime anti-heroes will recognise straight away. Behind him, heavy black curved lines and scattered feather-like fragments add movement and menace without crowding the figure.
With 10 thread colours and a moderately dense build, it has enough detail to keep the face, weapon and clothing contrasts looking crisp on sturdier fabrics. It suits the back or chest of a black bomber jacket, the front of a hoodie, a denim overshirt or a canvas backpack where the red eyes and pale skin tones can stand out. Dark fabrics will make the black, blue and purple palette feel especially dramatic, while lighter grounds pull more attention to the character's expression and the sweeping shapes behind him.
