Interesting. Based on anything in particular, or just something the artist did on thier own?

^^^ The first one, those pics look like Yuuko Ichihara from xxxHolic. Beautiful. In the second, the floating city looks like -- a giant pair of binoculars.

No. You can't have animated wallpapers in win 7. It's just a still black background with stars.

It should link to the guys dA page. I don't know if he made that figure or what, but it's adorable. He has a whole bunch of really neat pictures he's done completely in colored pencil that look almost exactly like the photographs he references from. It's amazing.

yes you can :)

It's standard in Win 7 Professional, but for people like me who have Windows 7 Home Edition, there's this program called "Deskscapes".
It'll have to be in .dream format though... basically you can have a short video up there as a desktop.
Tonight I'll make a short video of my desktops. (Yes, plural: I have two monitors and on each monitor a different background)

Oh. Now i feel dumb. My google-fu is apparently weak. :/

The results i found when i tried find a tutorial on it said that the feature had been disabled in Win7. (I don't really remember much of it. It was quite a while ago.)
