In other news, the month of Halloween October is now in full swing, so Poptropica’s begun to celebrate! The Halloween photo booth is back, along with another Photo Booth contest starting next week. Skinny Moon has also gotten into the spoopy spooky spirit, and she’s not the only one – have you seen our Poptropicans lately? 😉
In other spooky news, there appear to be some strange glitches on Home Island affecting hair color and fashion choices. No, oh wait – apparently DJ Saturday Nite and New You lady went to the hair salon together, and even Amelia’s appearance is deliberate. My bad.
In addition to the aesthetic changes, some characters, specifically Amelia Earhart and the wheel-spinny-guy-dude, also have some new dialogue! Seems the creators favor the term “loot” over “prizes” now, and Amelia’s plugging the new Fall Fashion lineup. (Thanks to Happy Lobster for the images!)
Finally, the spooky Halloween-themed items of the Poptropica Store have been moved to the front of the card lineups for easy access! Check ’em out and deck out!
Whoof, this was a long update. Thanks for sticking with me!

First!
Lamb made a post!

Baa baa
😡
Lamb?
Limb!
Humph, these colors.. Skinny Moon update the fashion choices!! And she said they wanted to do this… Wow just wow
I’m pretty sure the hair colors are a glitch, considering the “New You” lady’s hair is back to normal inside the building. 😛
True
Nice! Congrats to the winners! *sigh Still bummed about not entering.
Well, we can be bummed together. I knew I wouldn’t win anyway, so I decided I wouldn’t even risk it. Still, there are times I wish I had.
i was going to enter, but i don’t have facebook or anything. And by the time i could do anything about it, it was over.
Congratulations to all the #PoptropicaArt winners! These selections are all excellent, and thanks to the Creators for voting my PoptropiCon piece for third (I wasn’t expecting to win something and am honored!). I’m excited to see what’s included in the “bunch of Poptropica swag”! 😀
You weren’t expecting to win?? But yes, well done to all the winners – all of those entries and the special mentions were definitely well-chosen. 😉
There were a lot of amazing entries – lots of potential deserving winners! 😛
Yes, that’s very true. 😛
Congratulations on winning third place! You deserved it! 😉
Oh, without a doubt she did. The illustration is amazing, and like the Creators said, the Mighty Action force characters have been staged (and drawn) to perfection. 😉
Lol, I should be saying this in a comment for this piece in DeviantArt . 😛
And all the other entries shown in this post are truly stunning, too. The Pop community is overflowing with such talented artists. 🙂

And I’m also pretty hyped about the 8th annual PHB Halloween costume contest that I’m pretty sure is coming right up. XD DJ Saturday Nite and the New You lady are sure getting into the Halloween spirit, even if they did so unintentionally. 😛
It is indeed! Be prepaaaared! 👻
cool!
Awesome job slanted fish, the third picture reminds me of the civil war picture but CONGRATS FOR MY FAVOURITE AUTHOR!
Thanks! Yes, it’s based on a promo picture from Captain America: Civil War – someone from the Pop community requested the drawing. 🙂
And i was here thinking the hair changed colors on Home Island because of the Paint Gun’s effects somehow lingering
So did I, actually.
Yee!!
Congrats to all the winners! All the submittions were amazing. 😀
Oh sweet, an honorable mention! This is awesomeness! 😮 Congratulations to everyone who made it, whether they’d be finalist, mention, or winner! Everyone did such a great job!
You deserved it BT! Your art is really amazing!
the photobooth is boss. I mean why doesn’t the normal photobooth hhave those poses?
I’m sorry for spamming.
You also need to be sorry for considering Timmy Failure violent. You need to start considering that Timmy Failure is for kids and should not have violence in it.
I’m sorry for considering Timmy Failure violent. I will start considering that Timmy Failure is for kids.
Still Bummed out about not entering because I have entirely no TALENT in art at all. If you seen my original proposal, it will make people PUKE.
Talent is only a part of the equation – lots of practice can make you just as skilled! Don’t give up just because you may not be at the same level as someone else, because with some hard work, you could be – it starts with trying. 🙂
