About this icon

Animation

  • frame 0: static character pose
  • frame 1: waving arm motion

Animation Summary

  • Two-frame animation showing a static character transitioning to waving pose with consistent color palette and text layout.

Composition

  • two-frame contact sheet layout
  • text top-left and right of sprites
  • sprites centered below text

Dense Caption

The image displays a pixelated contact sheet containing two sequential animation frames of an AOL Instant Messenger buddy icon. At the top left, white blocky text reads "Tenacious" above a small square symbol. To the right, black blocky text shows "EliteAIM [dot] COM ---By--- Smurf." Below this text are two character sprites: on the left, a static figure with dark hair, gray torso, and blue bottom; on the right, an identical figure in a waving pose with one arm extended outward. The background is solid light gray, indicating transparency for buddy icon display. Both frames share the same color palette of black, white, gray, and blue. The animation consists of only two visible frames showing a single character transitioning from still to waving.
