Sneak Peeks

A poptastic Pet Barn peek

How’s it going, Poptropicans? Lucky Joker here with, for the first time in a while, a sneak peek from the Creators’ Blog! (Looks like SD’s post had some effect… 😉 )

Today, an anonymous creator posted this picture of a simple sketch. In the picture, we can see a store, a pet barn, and another building (which looks like another design for a pet barn) at the bottom. It looks a little Club Penguin-ish, but I think it looks cool! I can see Home Island looking like this in the near future. See for yourself:

In the Creators’ Blog post, the unknown blogger says “The Poptropica creators are hard at work on some new updates to Poptropica…”, so it’s unclear as to which Poptropica they’re referring to—Worlds or Original. I personally hope the update is for Worlds since it is the future of the game, but I get the slightest feeling it isn’t… maybe that’s just me.

Anyway, what do you think of this sneak peek? Share your thoughts in the comments! That’s it for now. Thanks for reading, as always! Pop on!

App, Contests

Announcing the Poptropica Sticker Design Contest!

Hello, Poptropicans!

It’s been a little less than a week since the Poptropica Stickers app was released for iPhones and iPads, and now, Poptropica is introducing a sticker design contest for it!

To enter the contest, post your design on Instagram with the hashtag #PoptropicaStickers so that the Creators can see it. You can create with any medium—digital or otherwise—and you can enter as many times as you’d like!

The deadline is July 25, so that gives you about two weeks to submit as many entries as you can. And the prize? To have your sticker design featured in the next app update!

Will you be participating in the contest? I think it’s great the Creators are once again giving Poptropica fans a chance to show off our creativity. I mean, we’re a pretty talented group of people. 😏

(Though we are still waiting for Pop’s promise about runner-up costumes being available in the game from the #MyPoptropicaCostumeContest to become a reality… 😉 )

Well, that’s it for now. Thanks for reading as always, talk to you soon… pop on!

Pop Fan Artist Spotlights

Pop Fan Artist Spotlight: napstachill

Hello, everyone! It’s Lucky Joker here showcasing the works of napstachill in the newest Pop Fan Artist Spotlight!

Something I find special in an artist is when they have a style that is uniquely theirs—and that is certainly the case with naps. Just by looking at their art, you can tell how distinctive it really is.

Naps mostly features the villains in their Poptropica art, but I’m not complaining—I love villain art! Check out this collection of their awesome artwork below (click to enlarge):

I mean seriously—so awesome, right? Well, you’re in luck because you can see more of their art over on their DeviantArt page where they submit frequently!

I hope you found this look into a Poptropica fan’s artwork enjoyable. Don’t forget to check out the other artists I’ve featured here on the PHB. Plus, if you’ve made any Poptropica art of your own, don’t be afraid to share it on our DeviantArt group gallery at We-Love-Poptropica.

Thanks for reading as always and I’ll talk to you soon… pop on!

App

Make your messages POP!

Hello, everyone—it’s Lucky Joker here! Remember that sneak peek from a couple of days ago? Here it is in case you missed it:

Poptropica Digital Stickers

Well, when the creators said coming soon, they weren’t kidding because today Poptropica just released the all-new Poptropica Stickers app! There’s plenty of sticker options to choose from and some of them are pretty funny. Here they are below:

At this point, the app is only available for iPhones and iPads, which I was afraid of when I first saw the sneak peek. Oh well… I’m sure they’ll be available for other devices soon enough. Also, it’s only usable on the Messages texting app. To get the app, just head to the App Store and search “Poptropica Stickers” to download it for free!

Well, that’s it for now! Thanks for reading as always! Talk to you in the next one…pop on!

Poptropica House Tour: Lucky Joker

Hello, everyone! It’s Lucky Joker here continuing the lineup of the PHB’s Poptropica House Tours series! Fret not, because this series is not exclusive to only PHB authors—anyone is welcome to share their Poptropica house here on the PHB! Just send in a guest post and we’ll gladly feature yours on the blog.

Anyway, off with the tour! Sit, relax, grab a snack, and get comfortable because this might take a while as there’s lots to see! (You can click the images to enlarge them)

As you first enter my home, you’ll find yourself on the first floor (duh, right?). There’s not much to boast about here as it’s pretty subdued, but there are some plants and wall art…so that’s something. I should warn you now: there are tons of plants, photos, and pieces of art around my house. (I just think they add a lot to a room.) 🙂 Moving along!

For the second story, I aimed for a fancier look. Here, you can see my little aquarium, my piano, and of course, some paintings and photos on the wall. I’m no piano expert or anything, but I do dabble and I’d say I’m pretty good at teaching myself to play songs by ear. Also, there’s a very large window to illuminate the place. As for the doors—we’ll take a look on the other side of those later. Other than those, that’s about it here!

On the third and uppermost story of the house are the lounging areas. One is more of a cozy area while the other is a complete indoor paradise (my lazy corner) with a hammock and a couple of palm trees—totally inconspicuous in a house, right? 😛

Remember those doors from earlier? Let’s go on ahead and enter the kitchen-ey room (aka the Dr. Hare door). To the left is the coffee/tea space where you can sit and well…have a cup of coffee. To the right is the main dining area that is never utilized because I mainly eat in my room. At least it’s pretty!

If you go up, you’ll find where the food is kept and where the cooking magic happens. As you can see, to the left I have two ice cream vending machines for when people come over (yes—I charge, hehe). On the other side is your average kitchen: a refrigerator, a sink, a microwave, and an oven ( I have two because I love cooking and baking). Don’t you love the pineapple wallpaper? I mean, c’mon—it’s pretty legit.

Now it’s on to where I probably spend the majority of my time—my bedroom! On the bottom level is my computer desk where I mostly blog about a game called Poptropica. Heard of it? 😉 In the middle is my mini Vegas/gaming area. I have a pool table (mainly there for the aesthetic) and an arcade machine (which can get pretty addicting). On the far right is my creation station. I practice my painting every once in a while with a nice comfortable chair to sit in and with the natural light coming in through the window.

Going up, we arrive in my personal area. Time to share it with the world—screw privacy! Here I sleep, read, shower, feed my pet (Iguana Trump—not intended as an insult, by the way), poopoo, peepee, and all of that fun stuff. Okay, that was way too much information…

And that about covers everything… phew! Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed your stay! Don’t forget to check out Spotted Dragon’s and Slanted Fish’s houses too, and if you’re inspired, send in your own house tour for the PHB!

~See you next time on Poptropica House Tours!~
