Greetings, my painterly Poptropicans! The PHB’s Pop Carnival Birthday Collab has officially come to a close. Characters across the map showed up, ate snacks, played games, and had themselves a good ol’ time. Before Poptropica’s 19th birthmonth ends, let’s share a photo of the celebration that took place! Now presenting… 🥁🥁🥁
🎪 The PHB’s Pop Carnival Birthday Collage! 🖼️
Our carnival saw 27 attendees, all of whom were brought to life by 17 talented artists. Below this paragraph, you will find each individual submission along with artist credits. Take a look! 👇
Thank you to the talented artists who made this collab possible, and thank you, Pop Creators, for making this game that we love so much. Happy 19th birthday, Poptropica! We can’t wait to celebrate your 20th birthday next year. 🥳🎂🎈
Thank you all for coming to our party, and have a good day!
SUBMISSIONS ARE NOW CLOSED. CHECK OUT THE CARNIVAL COLLAGE HERE!
Welcome to the Poptropica Help Blog! My name is Gentle Dolphin, I’m your host, and I’m here to invite you to the most game-changing, art-making, BIRTHDAY-CELEBRATING artistic collaboration you’ve ever laid your eyes upon! The theme for our fourth annual Poptropica birthday art collab is… 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
🎆🎪CARNIVAL🤡🎆
Our previous birthday parties were sweet, nostalgic, and mysterious. It’s time to let loose and have some silly fun before Poptropica turns two decades old next year.👴 We’re asking you, Poptropica fans, to step right up and draw characters having some good old-fashioned fair fun! Make sure to read the rules before going on this ride:
🧑🎨Draw a character having fun at the carnival! They can be a canon Poptropica character, a Pop OC, or a character from another piece of media. Please save your drawing as a transparent .png image so it can be easily added to the collage. Here’s a picture of Gentle for an example, although she may not be having fun in this moment:
🖼️Upload your image to the internet. Post your drawing to a website that supports transparent images such as Imgur, Discord, DeviantArt, and Twitter/X. You may send us a maximum of three images.
💻Comment on this post with a link to your drawing. Copy and paste your image link to a comment on this very post so we can see it. Along with the link, please add your Poptropican name and/or one social media username that you want listed in the artist credits.
We will be accepting submissions until Tuesday, September 29th @ 11:59 pm EST, so don’t miss your chance to join. Per tradition, we’ll gather everyone’s art and put them into a colossal collage! We hope you can join us for Poptropica’s 19th birthday celebration, and let’s hope that won’t be like the last carnival to grace Poptropica. 🎪
Hey Poptropicans! We’ve featured Poptropica tattoos before (part 1 and part 2 here), but get ready to feast your eyes on the biggest one yet…
Kaidezz has commemorated their longtime favorite island, Twisted Thicket, as their first ever tattoo, and it’s glorious! The forearm half-sleeve features iconic creatures including a troll and elf, and scenery elements like a mushroom and shrubbery. 🍄🧝 Kai shares that shading and color are on the way and plans to give an update when there’s more added. We’re definitely looking forward to it! 🤩🍃

Meanwhile, the PHB’s very own Magic Kid has been cooking up a henna tattoo of the Secret Society mark from the Poptropica graphic novels. While henna tatts aren’t permanent, it definitely makes for a fun and iconic piece of art to enjoy for a couple weeks! ✴️

That’s all for now, but we’re always keen to appreciate some Pop art, bodily or otherwise! If you’ve got any, or spotted some good ones, we’d love for you to share with us on our Discord server, the PHC. ✨

After sorting through your nominations, we compiled the most popular nominees into a poll for your voting pleasure! Cast your votes for who you think should win this year’s Poppies before the poll closes on Monday, July 20.
What do you after you’ve voted? Join us for our annual Poppies Party on the PHC Discord server on Saturday,July 25 @ 7PM EST / 4PM PST! If you’re in a different time zone, use a time zone converter to see when the party starts in your area. 🥳⌚
We’ll start with a video announcing this year’s winners, then we’ll have fun and chat in the server. Poptropica’s common rooms may not work like they used to, but that won’t stop us from having a good time. We played a few rounds of Gartic Phone last year, so feel free to suggest some fun activities for the event.
Although we can’t see each other in common rooms, do dress your Poptropican to the nines for the PHB’s 18th birthday! You can style your avatar inside any version of Pop or draw a custom fit traditionally or digitally. You can make a spiffy suit, a dazzling dress, or maybe even some genie garb? Just a little reminder that Lucky Fish’s Genie Dance Art Collab is accepting submissions until next Tuesday, July 21. 🧞♂️😉
