The overall effect of machine embroidering the garment has worked out well.
Once constructed
each image will be illustrated with pigment ink, however, I won’t do that until it’s appliqued because the thread will be dyed at the same time.
I couldn’t resist trying just a little illustration, you can see how it adds depth and interest to the image taking it from, flat to dimensional.I drew the flag, the helmet and face of just two of the characters.
