Picture
The original design pattern featuring layers of digitally manipulated and converted NATURALLY occurring elements of varying opacity, colorways, and textures to create the illusion of both depth and contrast.  The Sierra pattern intentionally lacks the smooth man-made lines associated with other camouflage patterns on the market today.

The Aussies are known for their slang and their wild, rugged bush land.  Taking inspiration from the traditional colors of the AUSCAM pattern, Straya honors the proud ANZAC  military heritage while combining it with the artistic and textural elements of the SUBSTRATE patterns.

SUBSTRATE Sniper was developed to be a base layer for ghillie suits that features both horizontal and vertical elements and colorations that were neither too brown nor too green.

An olive green variant of the Sierra pattern with more predominant green colorations to coincide with foliage and improving upon solid olive drab or ranger green uniforms.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Varying overlays of light and dark greens placed over the top of the Sierra pattern to blend into temperate and tropical environments.  The contrast allows for variations of existing sunlight caused by a denser forest canopy.  It also steers clear of recognizable broad-leaf and coniferous vegetation.
Picture
Picture
Picture
SUBSTRATE Spec-Op is slightly subdued version of the pattern used for the SUBSTRATE Street-Series lifestyle patterns.  The overlay produced a tactically colored palette suitable for anything from airsoft and paintball to tactical operations.
Picture
Picture
SUBSTRATE Sub-Tropical is a brighter version of the Sherwood pattern.  The more dappled, light areas produce the illusion of more sunlight penetrating the tree canopy.  A perfect pattern for late spring/early summer.

The addition of predominant cracks to the Sierra pattern gives the new Stone pattern a much more rocky appearance; making it more suitable for rugged, mountainous terrain.
Picture
Picture
Varying shades of brown and dark olive become more prominent with a semi-transparent brown overlay applied to the Sierra pattern.  A pattern well suited for hardwood forests with less vegetation at ground level.
Picture
Picture
A more predominant red-rock appearance for varying regions from Utah in the United States to central Australia.
Picture
Picture
Blended earth tones mimicking silicon and limestone elements, with overlays of tans at varying levels of opacity and transparency; well suited for barren and rocky arid/desert environments.

Picture
A winter/alpine pattern that is more effective than solid white.  The added nuances of white, gray variants, mixed with faint tones of light blue creates a far superior winter camouflage pattern.
Picture
Picture
Picture
A partial winter/alpine pattern that blends better around the snowline and light snowfall areas, while showcasing a more pronounced presence of the Sierra pattern.  The snow portions are oriented horizontally as it would occur in nature.

SUBSTRATE Shadow-Op is a darker subdued version of its cousin pattern, Spec-Op.  The pattern is dark enough to use for night operations while still maintaining visible greens and browns for use in thick forest regions with reduced sunlight.
Picture
Picture
An urban/SWAT alternative to solid black.  This gray variant reduces some of that silhouetting and provides some camouflage and concealment protections in urban environments; all while still color-coordinating with existing equipment used by police and sheriff departments.

Picture
A near black fashion camouflage for cosplay, nostalgia, and those wanting the appearance of solid black at medium to long range, but noticeable pattern changes at close range.  The pattern was inspired by my favorite GI Joe character.
Picture
Picture
Picture
A dark gray variant of the Sierra pattern for low-light and urban environments.  Inspired by one of my favorite Cobra action figures from the GI Joe series, this pattern is also cosplay ready for fan conventions and events.

SUBSTRATE Safety offers a working compromise where state hunting regulations mandate either solid blaze orange or blaze camo for big game hunters.  The result is a noticeable pattern that appears as varying grayscale shades for animal vision at close range and a highly visible orange for hunters at mid to long range.
Picture
Picture
Picture
SUBSTRATE Static acknowledges the need for some three-dimensional elements for successful ground blind and tree stand hunting.  Static provides elements not susceptible to rapid seasonal and weather changes or those that provide too many conflicting/competing species occupying the same space.  This pattern is only recommended for static hunting applications.

Picture
SUBSTRATE Stalker provides more mobility options compared with other high-definition camouflage patterns with its abstract elements and multi-seasonal colorations.
Picture
Picture
A grassland pattern featuring harvest time colors ranging from subtle pale yellows to golden browns.  Scrubgrass is a great early to mid-autumn pattern, perfect for fence line predator and bird/waterfowl hunting.  The pattern also works well in late summer and is an excellent base for grassy ghillie suits.

The Vietnam-era Tiger Stripe pattern was both popular and maligned.  The stripes were said to run counter to the natural flow of vegetation and there was too much black in the pattern to reach its full effectiveness.  I took the colorway and fixed the orientation problem and reduced the amount of black present in the original Tiger Stripe pattern.
Picture
I took the tried and tested colorways from the M81 Woodland pattern and re-imagined it with some of the SUBSTRATE shapes and layering techniques.  The results breathe new life into a long-surviving pattern, ensuring it will keep doing that...survive.
Picture
I took the popular and effective colorways from the Rhodesian Brush pattern and re-imagined it with some of the SUBSTRATE shapes and layering techniques.  The results revive a popular pattern and extend its longevity as one of the world's most popular patterns.
