About this icon

Animation

  • frame 0-13 show eye state changes from open to closed
  • ponytail shifts slightly left/right across frames
  • arm positioning varies between frames

Animation Summary

14-frame animation showing subtle eye state changes (open/closed), slight ponytail shifts, and minor arm positioning variations across frames.

Composition

  • 4x4 contact sheet layout
  • single character centered in each frame

Dense Caption

The image displays a 4x4 grid of animated frame samples from an AOL Instant Messenger buddy icon. Each frame features the same pixelated character: a small figure with bright yellow-blonde hair tied in a high ponytail, a red gem on their forehead, large white eyes with black pupils, and brown-and-white striped armor-like clothing. The character has small wing-like appendages behind them. Across 14 sampled frames (arranged left-to-right, top-to-bottom), the animation shows subtle changes: some frames have closed eyes (likely blinking or resting), while others show open eyes; the ponytail shifts slightly in position across different frames; and minor variations appear in arm positioning. The background is a solid light gray transparency layer typical of AIM buddy icons. Pixel art style with limited color palette, visible dithering on edges, and crisp outlines. No text appears within any frame.
