An emerald dragon coils around a stone spire under a purple night sky, wings half-open, a curl of golden flame escaping its jaws. Dragon kits usually drown in scale texture; this one draws every scale as a deliberate crescent of drills in three stepped greens, so the body shimmers by construction — the tone changes do the work photographic dithering can’t. The cream belly plates stack like armor down the coil, giving the design its strong central rhythm, and the teal wing membranes stretch into broad panels that fill quickly and frame the body. The gold accents are rationed on purpose: eye, flame, three or four glints along the spine. Rationed gold is exactly what makes it read as treasure. At 40×40 cm with the night-sky purples running deep and wide, this is the set’s centerpiece for fantasy shelves — and the design most likely to make a teenager voluntarily take up a craft kit.
The chart, measured
Every number on this page is read from this design’s actual manufacturing chart — the same
file the 141×141 symbol canvas is printed from — not estimated for marketing.

15 DMC colors over 19,881 drills is a mid-complexity build — enough palette changes to stay interesting, not enough to feel like admin. The workload skews blue: 2 of the 15 colors are blue steps, covering 42% of the canvas, with DMC 820 alone accounting for 25% (4,874 drills). Only 2 colors dips under 1% coverage, so nearly every bag in the tray gets real use.

Chart-true by construction
The mockup above is rendered drill-by-drill from the finished chart (19,881 cells,

that processes every Pixelmade order: saliency-weighted DMC selection, nearest-color
mapping, no dithering. What you approve is what gets printed. Each kit is made to order —
printed, picked, and packed when you buy, MOQ 1.
