I'm assuming you mean you want an icon that's bigger than 32x32... In which case you'd need to have an image file of it, then set the obj/turf's icon or whatever to what the image file's name is.

obj/Object
    icon = 'Folder/Image File.gif' //or whatever

well no you can make icons bigger than 32 x 32 but when you change the icon_state it makes it 32x32 and i read the help on and it siad i can use icon_states not icon_state to make the icon state the same size as the first one was

Simply put, you can't use anything bigger than 32x32 in an actual game. You can lay out a title screen, or other static image on the map, but that's about it without major work; which isn't nearly worth the output you'll manage.

It doesn't really have anything to do with the animation. Its the movement and the interaction as a larger than 32x32 single entity that cause problems.
