About this icon

Animation

  • mouth changes from straight line to downward curve between frames

Animation Summary

Two-frame animation showing a cartoon face with tears; the only visible change is the mouth shifting from straight line to frown between frames.

Composition

  • centered character on gray background
  • two-frame contact sheet layout

Dense Caption

Two side-by-side pixelated frames depict the same cartoon character's face in an animated sequence. The character has a rounded white head with thick black outline, two large light blue teardrop-shaped eyes with solid black horizontal eyelids, and a small black mouth. In frame 0 (left), the mouth is a straight line; in frame 1 (right), it curves downward into a frown. Both frames show identical tears flowing from each eye. The character sits on a flat gray base that appears to be part of its design. The background is solid light gray, indicating transparency or display context. Pixelation and blocky rendering suggest low-resolution digital art typical of early instant messaging icons. No text is visible in either frame.
