Static pixel art depicts a figure in camouflage-patterned clothing (dark green and black) wearing a headband. The figure holds a long black pistol pointed leftward; the right hand grips a small brown object resembling a grenade or flask. Below the character, two lines of blocky pixelated text read 'Solid' on top and 'Snake' beneath it. Background is plain white with no additional elements.
