Animation

  • frame 0: back float with arms raised
  • frame 1: forward stroke arm extended left
  • frame 2: side turn with right arm up
  • frame 3: continuous swimming motion
  • frame 4: legs visible in water

Animation Summary

9-frame pixel-art swimming animation showing a white stick figure with light blue swim trunks performing various strokes across frames, with repeated "Swimmer Buddy" text below each frame on gray background.

Composition

  • 3x3 contact sheet layout
  • character centered above water line
  • text below character

Dense Caption

The image is a 3x3 contact sheet displaying nine frames from an animated pixel-art buddy icon. Each frame features a simple white stick-figure character with a round head and no facial details, wearing light blue swim trunks or shorts, positioned in various swimming poses above stylized blue water against a gray background. The water consists of horizontal lines of varying shades of blue to create a wave effect. Below each figure, the text "Swimmer Buddy" appears in white pixelated font with an underscore between words. Frame 0 shows the character floating on its back with arms raised; frame 1 depicts it swimming forward with one arm extended; frame 2 shows it turning sideways; frame 3 continues the stroke motion; frame 4 has a different pose with legs visible; frame 5 shows the figure diving or flipping; frame 6 returns to a side-facing position; frame 7 is another forward stroke; and frame 8 completes the cycle. The animation uses limited color palette (gray, blue, white) typical of early digital art. Each frame maintains consistent character design but varies in pose and water interaction. The contact sheet layout shows all frames together for review purposes, with no visible grid lines or borders separating individual icons within the sheet.
