I’ve stumbled upon eBoy’s pixel art from time to time on the interwebs, but I’ve always thought it looked too busy – at least to be used as Android wallpapers. However, when tinkered with, they look great. Engadget’s Joshua Topolsky is apparently a huge fan, and the first thing he does whenever he gets a new device is to apply an eBoy wallpaper. Here’s a collection of eBoy pixel art that have been cropped and adjusted to serve as Android wallpapers. I’ve darkened the pictures, so that text on top of them will be easier to read. Enjoy!
Update 2011-04-14: I added the unaltered eBoy images as well, as requested.

Pre-editing pictures based on your assumptions, not cool. But nothing Photoshop can’t fix, so thanks for the post :)
Not based on assumptions, based on the fact that the pictures would be pointless to use as Android homescreen backgrounds with their full colors intact, because of major contrast issues. That’s the reason I posted the pixelart in the first place: “Here’s a collection of eBoy pixel art that have been cropped and adjusted to serve as Android wallpapers.”
Thanks.
Please post the original, undarkened images too :)
I’ll post them, too. Glad to be of service :)
Is there a reason they’re so dark? Only the rainbow looking one looks like the right brightness. Or is it just my browser?
The pictures have been dimmed. It’s explained in the post: “I’ve darkened the pictures, so that text on top of them will be easier to read.”
They’re pretty useless as homescreen backgrounds otherwise.
Can you please post the pictures without them dimmed? I would like them as desktop pictures too :)
Been looking for these for quite some time. TY!
Thanks! Been lookin’ around for these :-)
