Samus Aran from Metroid stands in her glossy blue Zero Suit, one hand on her hip, pink neon lighting the brick wall behind.

An industrial corner of the studio: red-brown brick, a black metal shelving rack and magenta light glowing between the shelves. Samus Aran stands in front of it in a three-quarter turn, one hand on her hip, the other arm hanging loose. She looks off to the left, out of the frame, calm and slightly distant.

The framing runs from head to mid-thigh, nearly straight on at chest height, so the costume carries the picture. Pink and magenta rim light outlines the glossy blue bodysuit and its dark geometric panels, while the brick stays soft behind her. Bulky gray cuffs with yellow trim sit at both wrists, and ragged cutouts cross the chest and sleeves.

It is the first frame in front of the brick and shelving, the backdrop for three of the four frames that follow.
