Hijuyo: Hi! This is the PHB post “Skullduggery in Sketch,” which is all about… Skullduggery in pre-island sketches! O:
Cpt Crawfish: Hey, it’s my turn to speak nao.
Hijuyo: Wut! You’re the n00b we have to destroy on Skullduggery Island! Who brought you back from the dead?!
Cpt Crawfish: But… but… I prepared a speech! I WANNA BE ON THE PHB!!11!!
Hijuyo: Oki then… 
Cpt Crawfish: *takes huge breath* Well, here we go!
Behind the scenes of Skullduggery Island: The Phoenix Warbird
If you’ve earned enough doubloons on Skullduggery Island to buy the Phoenix Warbird, then you know it’s the fiercest craft around, even more than Captain Crawfish’s ship.
But how did the Phoenix Warbird go from idea to reality? First, one of the Poptropica creators had the brilliant notion of making the most powerful ship on Skullduggery Island have a bird theme. To explain his idea, he drew this sketch:
Neat, huh? But that was just the beginning of a long journey.
Hijuyo: :O That… that’s beautiful! :,)
Cpt Crawfish: WAIT! THERE’S MOAR!!
Behind the scenes of Skullduggery Island: The Phoenix Warbird, part 2
On Skullduggery Island, players start with a junky old sloop, and earn doubloons to buy bigger and better boats. Early on, the Poptropica creators knew they wanted the most powerful ship to have an animal theme.
Even so, there were still dozens and dozens of smaller decisions to make. Should the boat look realistic or fantastical? How big should it be? Should it be scary?
To explore the possibilities, the designers made a few more sketches.
After another round of discussion (okay, arguments), the creators settled on a direction and set to work on the final version.
Hijuyo: YEYYYY!!! So like, were you named after a boat?
Cpt Crawfish: Named after a boat? Wut? NO WAI! I was named after the best fish in the sea – crawfish tastes delicious, did you know that?
Hijuyo: Are you suggesting that we eat you? O:
Cpt Crawfish: Waiiiiit… wha…??
(Captain Crawfish disappears as a giant crowd engulfs all around him and noms.)
Cpt Crawfish: NO!!! THAT’S MY PEGLEG, YOU FOOL! DON’T EAT THAT… AHHHH!
