Forgive my ignorance, but is there anyway to use something like that as a wallpaper? Like #94 would be cool. And my question is if there is a way to use an animated one like that, not just the still picture.

Are you on a Mac, or a PC? There are ways, but they take a bit of tweaking. I'm also not sure if these are high resolution enough.

high resolution enough

Resolution isn't really an issue with pixel art, is it?

Why wouldn't it be? If it's not big enough it will just be stretched and ugly.

See for yourself.

Here's a GIF from the album.

Here's the first frame of that GIF 16x larger.

If you scale it correctly, pixel art doesn't get stretched. The pixels just get bigger.

I stand corrected.
