DP archive, PHB survey, & fansites’ spotlight for 13 million!

thirteen mil

Wow, 13 million hits already? We just had a party not too long ago, but you guys do deserve something super cool for bringing the PHB this far! This thirteen means you’re in luck, not out of it – because as the graphic above summarized, this celebration comes in 3 awesome parts! 😀

part one :: the complete daily pop sneak peek archive

Yes, the whole shebang, from November 2010 to the present! After lots of hard work collecting all the images from a certain link where the date can be changed, the PHB now has the complete archive of sneak peeks from the Daily Pop all on one page. Browsing through the ages here should be a lot easier than using the actual Daily Pop! We’ll be updating the page every month. Click here to view it!

If you’re not convinced of the insurmountable awesomeness that lies within the archive, check out the above snapshots for a sample of what you might find, from rough sketches to unreleased ideas and everything in between. Great for your personal Poptropica graphics, too! 🙂

part two :: the poptropica help blog readers’ survey

For the first time ever, we’re asking you PHB readers to fill out a quick survey so we can get some feedback on what you’d like to see on the PHB, what the PHB reader population consists of, and more. It’ll only take a few minutes! Click here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NTVYMLY

I may even post some of the results later, so if you’d like to have your voice heard, or if you have ideas for the PHB, please take a moment to answer the survey! Might as well, right? You can skip questions if you like, and your responses will be anonymous unless you wish to sign your name.

part three :: spotlight for 13 lucky poptropica fansites

The PHB is fortunate to have so many viewers, but perhaps not everyone enjoys the same amount of attention in the Poptropica community. That’s why, in honor of our 13 million hits, we’re going to list 13 lesser-known, yet active Poptropica fansites who we know from the PHB/PHC community, so that their efforts may be seen by other Poptropicans too. (For more sites, see the PHB’s directory.) Enjoy! :mrgreen:

Disclaimer: we do not own any of these sites and cannot control what you may see on them. However, at the time of this post, their focus is Poptropica and they are run by Poptropicans who have been known to frequent the PHB and/or PHC. Also, if you own a Poptropica site that is not listed, please do not be offended – there are plenty of fansites out there and our goal was to list only thirteen. 😉

Whew, you made it to the end of this lengthy three-part post! Thanks for sticking with the PHB, and we hope you enjoy the Daily Pop archive, PHB survey, and our Poptropica friends’ sites.

Keep on popping on, Poptropicans!

Livestreams, PHB Parties, Poptropican Portraits

Recap: Pop Portraits S1 finale livestream & PHB 12M hits party!

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

If you’ve been keeping up with my recent posts, then you’ll know that the Poptropican Portraits Season 1 Finale Livestream has commenced — maybe you attended. 😉 You can watch the recorded livestream below, featuring me with PHB author Blake and ATP blog owner Spotted Dragon. 😀

A couple things happened in the livestream that were note worthy — first of all, my main account (puterpop) was hacked during the livestream, and I wasn’t able to log in. It was randomized frequently while hacked, but don’t worry — I got my account back and it was fine. 😉

I also got through three (uncolored) creators, leaving Tracy West for later — but do not worry. I’ll make a speed art coloring all of them and finishing Tracy in a video on my Youtube Channel soon. 🙂

Also, hope you had fun at the PHB’s Poptropica/PHC party for our 12 million hits (if you attended) while enjoying the livestream! 😀 UPDATE: Here’s the finished product!

Poptropican Portraits: details for the season 1 finale livestream

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

As stated recently, I’m going to be hosting a livestream as a finale for season 1 of Poptropican Portraits — and the details are decided! This event also coincides with the PHB’s Poptropica party this Saturday for our recent milestone of 12 million hits, so we hope you can make it for a couple hours of fun on the PHC, Poptropica, and Google+! 😀

yoyoyo

The livestream and Poptropica party will be on the 14th of June (3 days from now), and will start at 4pm EST, ending at 6pm EST. The reason for the extra hour is because this livestream will be a little different than the rest — I’m going to be drawing 4 of the creators in real life as Poptropicans!

As for special guests, yes there will be two of them. Because I’m not going to be drawing Poptropicans from the community, there’s no username form, but you can vote below to choose the 4 Poptropica Creators you want to be seen drawn! You’ll find the livestream here when the time comes. 😛

Again, this will be happening along with the PHB’s Poptropica party for our dozen million hits, so come out to watch the Poptropican Portraits livestream on Google+ as well as chat with Poptropicans on the PHC and hang out in Multiverse rooms!

I’ll see you there! 🙂

Poptropican Portraits Round 10

HPuterpop

It’s been a long ride… is it coming to an end? Or is it just taking a break? Read on for more… Also, I have about four more portraits to do, so keep an eye out for those on the post soon. 🙂

I hope everyone is satisfied with their portrait! 😀 If you don’t see yours in there, just tell me in the comments. Rumors have been going around that I’m quitting Poptropican Portraits, and I sorta halfway am. For the summer. Season 1 of Poptropican Portraits is now complete with 100 portraits and over 100 fans. Thanks for having me draw your Poptropican — I apologize for being so lazy at times. 😉

So, what are you going to do to finish the season? Have a live stream, of course! This one will be special, however, where I try to draw multiple Creators’ real life faces in a Poptropican form! (And I wouldn’t mind if a creator or two popped up during the live stream 😛 ) The details are undecided, but lookout for info in the next couple weeks!

 

 

If you’re wondering on how to use your Portrait for a Gravatar, or save it to your computer, follow the instructions below! 😀

How to Save Your Poptropican Portrait

  • You might not have known this, but if your click on the portrait in the gallery, it will maximize and you can see/save it in full quality.
  • After you right click on the maximized portrait and click “Save image as…”, save it to a folder in your computer.
  • You can then go to the Gravatar website and sign in with your WordPress account.
  • Add the photo to your Gravatar, and your done! A high quality perfectly shaped portrait! 😛

House of Cards Island: an in-depth look from its inventor

Samwow5

Hey everyone! Remember when the Creators announced last week the fourth runner-up for the CYDI (Create Your Dream Island) contest – House of Cards Island? Well, actually, the person who made it saw our PHB post and sent us a more in-depth look at the island he invented that won him a prize of all the Poptropica books! (Just to clarify: This is not going to be a real island, as it was just a runner-up in the contest.)

Joel (Giant Foot) – the island’s inventor – commented on my post talking about his island. I asked him to email me the plot, its characters, and more miscellaneous info about House of Cards, and here’s what he shared. Thanks Joel! Click Read More to read on!
