Maybe not the best way to start the 'why highlighted description' but this wallpaper is something different but is something that imo has never been seen before on AP. Simplicity and the guts to be different, but being different in the perfect way. Simplicity trough leaving objects away and sticking to the core!
And somehow reminds me also of the beloved companion cube from portal :P

I realized this morning I used the wrong blending mode on the knob shadows (soft light instead of hard light) when I was converting the file. It's fixed now.

An entry to Simple-ism's minimalism project.
I originally drew this katamari for work. A team wanted to incorporate a katamari in their internal logo, and one of the graphic designers, knowing I liked Katamari (as evidenced by my previous Katamari walls on my work desktop) tapped me to create it for them. Hence the usage of Google primary colors, the blobby highlights and bold outlines. It reminded me of another illustration I did that involved bowling for Lava Lamps. Except that bowling with a katamari would result in some... interesting outcomes. I thought it was an amusing idea so I took the katamari and added some bowling pins to them to create this.<
"This is how we bowl" is a phonetic pun on "this is how we roll" -- and this is certainly bowling, Katamari style.
Inspiration for the wallpaper comes from the clean and minimalistic Google style. And all the amazingly awesome Google icons my coworkers create.

P.S.
Why is this highlighted?

I think you succeeded in making this a simple wall. I'm glad you explained the color choice, because at first I was wondering why you chose those. They looked good no matter what though. You may think that the spin-off of your tagline was lame, but I thought it was pretty funny (...then again I find a lot of things funny).
Anyway, I think it's a great, simple wall. "Less is more"
Very sleek.

Im just not sure if this was Highlight-worthy but congratulations nonetheless.
Why HEH-LOH there!
Oh.. Did i mention that I CLAIMED HARUHI?? hahaha ^_^
Step right up and claim your girl!
because you used the term "phonetic pun" to describe it.
it's really refreshing from your usual color schemes of brown.
i don't necessarily agree that it's something "omg never been done before on AP!"
but oh well congrats none the less.
Have a nice day!
If religion is that which binds men to one another, and irreligion that which sunders, then must I testify that I found the religion of my country in its musical genius and its irreligion in its churches and drawing rooms.

The colors and simplicity of it makes it unique.

My sis will be happy when I tell her about this wallapper ^^
She love Katamari.
Anyways, loving the wall. I'm one of those people who makes stupid jokes based on words sounding alike. usually, I'm the only one who laughs. It's a sad day for comedy.
Anywhoo, Love the colors. I'm a fan of simple 5 colored stuff using just those bolds.
Nothing really negative to say. Just loving it.

Great job!

Wow that's so cute. XD
I love the idea.. although your katamari wouldn't come back with the ball return because the pins are stuck on it! Heheh. Very simple, but effective. Maybe would have preferred to see the little Prince or another character behind the Katamari, rolling it, but it's cute nonetheless.
Very clean and minimalistic, indeed. Will look good on my mac. ;)
Not the most amazing thing I've ever seen, so maybe the feature is pushing it a little bit, but whatever you deserve credit for making a cool wall. :)
