Hi Gs,
The time has come. For 10 days, you guys have submitted artwork to my email for the HPuterpop Fan Art Contest. And now, I have chosen three winners…

Third Place
I debated myself about this quite a while, but I had to go with BlazingAngel123‘s icon – it’s just awesome. I love her style and how she made it a square ratio (which is half the work in this case!).

Second Place
I can’t help but make this second place: Spotted Dragon‘s pic is epic. I love the style, the line art, the color – it’s a good blend and just portrays my Poptropican well. Good job!

(and no, I have no regrets for making one of the PHB authors a winner :p)
First Place
The first prize goes to Muzzki! This piece shows my Poptropican (as well as some others) as I would imagine him. The colorful background and overall quality of the piece is to be expected from art by Muzzki, and this instance is no exception!
From the giant light bulb balloon and the overall whimsical feel to this piece, this is definitely my pick. And she even included a pic for my recent birthday!

Thanks to everyone who entered in this contest! I had so much fun receiving art – we got 18 pieces of art in whole – from people I never would have thought to make them! I didn’t expect this contest to be such a hit, but I’m glad it did! We may do something similar to this in the future.
For the winners, you can contact me at [email protected] describing what you want your profile picture to be. I’ve added the winning pics to three different profiles – on my WordPress, Google, and Gamepedia.

Wow, 2nd place? I was not expecting that at all… Thanks so much! 😀
As of 1st place… I think that was what I would have picked too. Muzzki never disappoints! Blazing Angel as well! 😛
Of course I also love all the other entries too. I think UiPE’s design is my favorite. XD
I knew my friend Muzzki would win! XD but I had fun 😀 UiPE’s pic is just funny.
Thnx 😛
np ;p
So many different art styles! As a collection, this looks pretty cool. 😀 Congratulations to Muzzki for winning – that really is a fantastic piece (or pieces, if the birthday gift is to be counted as well).
UiPE YESH muehehehehe
Congrats to Muzzki, her submission is awesome. So much colors! 😀
And everyone else’s is awesome as well! Glad to see everyone’s awesome talent. And I’m looking forward to more possible contests in the future, perhaps.
Photobombing the winning entry’s avatar like a boss 😛
As soon as I saw MuzzKi’s submission, I knew she would win. That girl’s got some talent!
Hey HP, I made the blue pen drawing, can you change the name on there to just “Hench Bot” ? Thanks for hosting this awesome contest it was really fun!
It’s been changed! Cool entry, Hench Bot. 😀
Thanks! 😀
Congratulations to all of the winners and the participants! You all have made great artworks! I am impressed by how you managed to do HP’s avatar using different styles– realistic, cartoonish and more!
I’m really excited to see more. (I wonder if I can do that on my birthday. 😉 )
no prob, raptor!
Congratulations to all the winners. There were many wonderful entries.
HPuterpop: Not to disappoint you, but I am surprised you thought my art was made with GIMP. I actually made it with Paint. 🙂
O really? Cool! Better job than I thought. ^^
Thanks! Hope there can be more contests like this in the future!
Paint is at all, not easy to work with 🙂 It’s the only digital art software on my computer so it’s an amazing drawing, especially considering the software you have to work with 🙂
Thanks!
Congratulations Muzzki! Muzzki’s fan art gave me a colorful Steven Universe feel 😛
The second I saw Muzzki’s entry, I knew she was going to win. It’s a little “OMGCOLORSPLOSION”, but she’s obviously doing SOMETHING right. Those lightbulb balloons in particular look REALLY good, and I might have to take a page or two from her book in terms of coloring artwork (everything’s so PRETTY and SHINY and BRIGHT and AAAAAAA). ALL the winners did bang-up jobs, and I’m happy that you considered my entry. 🙂 You- or another PHB author- should definitely hold another fan art contest at some point; doing that was really fun.
(… Even though my hand hurt like heck when I finished it. THE THINGS WE MUST SUFFER FOR ART.)
Congrats MuzzKi!
hey where is muzzki?
LOL I love the last one. My favorite is the one by Marianne. It’s really cool to see the “toads” (the first time I showed my mom poptropica she thought all the characters were toads) taken and drawn as what they might look like in real life.
Impressive Art. By the way I started laughing when I saw Uipe art drawing and Conrgrats to the winner. I love that art drawing that MARIANNE M made. I wish someone can do me one of those drawing for me.
Hey Toads!
:ooo My new intro?
Coincidence, my cousin took one look at my Poptropican character and was like, “What is that – a frog?!” *face palm*
Toads?
I knew it! One of my really good friends, Muzzki won! I am so happy for her! By the way Happy Birthday Andrew!!!!!!
Thank you!
Wow I never knew your name was Andrew! How old are you?
What? My name’s not Andrew! 😉
I’m 13.
You look kinda weird in the drawing that won first place.
That’s MuZZKi’s style – whimsical, wacky, overwhelmingly weird.. in a fabulous way 😉
