Entries are now closed. Check out the final collage here!

What’s up, my poppin’ peeps! We’re celebrating Poptropica’s 17th birthday by hosting another community art collab! Last year’s Sweet 16 collab was so much fun that we wanted to continue the tradition! 🎉🎨

This year’s birthday party has a totes awesome theme: 2000’s Nostalgia! It’s only fitting since Poptropica was born in 2007. Partygoers are allowed to bring iPods, wear layers of denim, exchange Silly Bandz, and whatever other activities fit a party from that decade. Here’s how to join in on the fun:

🧑‍🎨🖌️🖼️ Draw a picture of your Popsona or a Poptropica character pumpin’ up the party in birthday style! Please save your character picture as a transparent .png file; it makes it easier to add your art to the collage. You may submit a maximum of three characters.

Here are a couple of examples drawn by the PHB team:

🖼️➡️🖥️ Upload your picture to the world wide web! Comment on this post with a link to your picture, which you can get by posting it to sites that support transparent images like Imgur, Discord, DeviantArt, and Twitter/X.

The deadline for this collab is Sunday, September 29th @ 11:59 pm EST. We invite you all to join in and contribute to this year’s big birthday collage! This party’s gonna be so fetch! 🩷💋

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Hello, everyone! My name is Gentle Dolphin, and I have been a long-time fan of Poptropica. I like drawing, baking, and being an overall dork. In real life, I'm pretty much the same except for the fact that my hair is brown instead of pink. You can befriend me on Poptropica if you'd like. My username is "magicalyre".

  1. Oh, I’m definitely gonna join in on this one. You mind if I post my art on Scratch instead? I’ll provide a link.

  5. Does 2010’s nostalgia count? I have a lot more nostalgia for the 2010’s, and it’s still 2000’s. 2007 was closer to the ‘10’s than the ‘00’s anyway. Although I only ever started getting into Poptropica last year.

    1. I was wondering the same thing, I was born in the 2000s but that doesn’t mean I remember them very well tho lol.

  10. WOOOOOOOOO PARTY TIME 🤩

    I loved this collab so much last year, I’m so excited to do this again!

    here’s mine!: 🤪https://www.deviantart.com/magickidisartsy/art/BRINGING-THE-HYYYYYYYYPE-1094692870

    I had a lot of fun with this drawing! I put some silly bands on the horns and one of those bendy pencils that the teachers always gave out in school that was sooooo cool even if they didn’t write well XD I was debating also drawing a little cd player but that would have been a little chaotic for this drawing, I’ll probably do that if I make another submission 😀

    1. Aw a CD player! When I was younger I used to keep all my CDs in this green and white catepillar CD holder.

      Love your drawing too!

  11. What’s more 2000’s than DDR? Probably a ton of things, but I digress. I’m still not gonna miss my chance to be a part of PHB history. I know the outfit isn’t very 2000’s, but I’m still happy with how this came out. I was gonna add Ack next to the Baron slurping a Go-Gurt, but I couldn’t find a good image of a Gurt. Still, I’m happy with this. If I do find a good image of a Go-Gurt, I may make another pic. This time, I’m thinking of making something related to the DS. I would use my Popsona, but the outfit for my avatar isn’t really set in stone. https://drive.google.com/file/d/15wdJ-q4DipoDWoXCNYT7tpmsYVEcdt-o/view?usp=sharing

    1. Oh, there it is. It just didn’t show up. If you see the same art twice, that was just me trying to make sure it was posted.

      1. Thanks. My big break has arrived. BTW I headcanon Amelia as an extrovert and the Baron as an introvert.

  19. Even though Poptropica might shut down, it’s crazy that it stayed alive to hit ten years. Happy Birthday Pop 🥳 🥲

    Also great art everybody!!

      1. Thats awesome ahah, youuuu can danceee, youuuu can jiiiive!! We’ll be having the time of our life in this pop collab 😀

    1. You can kinda just copy and paste the link. I don’t think the picture has to show up in the comment, as long as the link takes you there.

  21. dandelion wanted to dress like muddy for this collab so the latter had no choice but to do a clothes swap with her. and show off her silly bands and her plush dolphin hamilton to fit the theme. the collar and wings cannot be taken off. she bought him from a gift shop with her parents when they were on vacation in shark tooth island in 04.

    attention: if you’re a nanobot and you participated in the tribal tournament, or you have access to all the tribe channels in the phc discord, this is what ‘lion looks like without her hat.

    *muttering to self* maximum 3 submissions tho…

      1. Thanks. I admit, it’s not the best. The linework is a little funky. But it’s all I’ve got left. I actually made it a while ago, long before I finished my DDR art. I’m just happy to be a part of Poptropica history!

      1. Thanks! It takes one to know one. I’ll bet your art looks really cool, even though I haven’t really seen it yet. I guess I could kind of count this as my Popsona, since it’s kind of a miscellaneous Poptropican.

  27. Here is my own drawing submission of my cousin Striped Moon (Aka. Mark W-A of the nanobots). If you ask why I did his drawing instead of my own, it’s because he’s my cousin and I was bribed with real money.

    Behold:

    “Me with my dreadful Shane Gray haircut that I had from 2012-2020, along with a flip-phone (which I never actually had), fall-colored flannel, and cargoes.” – Striped Moon’s own description. (Just reiterating that he contributed the idea for design, and I went along with drawing it)

    I am very grateful that the deadline was pushed, so I have a few hours to try and make a low-quality drawing of myself.
