Project Overview
“Draconic Script” is a powerful hoodie series merging dark fantasy illustration with classical gothic elegance. These garments channel the mystique of medieval mythology, conjuring ancient dragons amidst swirling ornamental flourishes and calligraphic backgrounds. Perfect for fantasy fans, gothic fashion lovers, and collectors of high-concept wearable art, this collection embodies both fire and finesse.

Graphic Design
Each hoodie showcases intricately detailed dragons drawn in baroque-style linework, coiled in motion and surrounded by smoke-like arabesques. The monochrome design uses charcoal-gray ink against a parchment-white base, with faded script textures in the background for a mystical manuscript effect. The dragon wings, claws, and scales are rendered with precision, giving the hoodie a sculpted, fierce aesthetic. Ideal for darkwear capsules, cosplay-inspired streetwear, or fantasy convention drops.
