Upper left is a drawn mechanical score window: a white and grey pill-shaped cassette with five small rectangular digit reels. Upper right carries the title, a stack of chunky blue block letters with heavy dark outline sitting on a mint-teal banner, above the word BLOOD in tall red block capitals with a white and black keyline. The lower two thirds show four figures on a pale cream ground. Left, a seated woman in profile facing right, in a long blue and white striped robe with red-and-white striped banding and a red-trimmed headscarf, raising a lit torch. Centre, a second figure in white and red with a yellow spiked halo holding a flaming torch. Right, a dark-haired woman in a red and black bodysuit and red boots, one arm flung up, grappling a man in a yellow outfit with a green shirt. A red rose with a dark centre sits at the right edge. Style is flat comic-book airbrushed illustration in primary colours.
