Poptropican Portraits

Poptropican Portraits Round 3

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

You’ve all been waiting for them, and without further ado, round three of Poptropican Portraits!

Also, I have typed up a sort of criteria for the requests, so if you do not follow them, I will not make them;

  • This is how the system works: you leave requests on the post that has the portraits requested last week.  I will only take requests that are left on the latest portrait post.
  • Requests must be made by the owner of the account.  I really would like if people would stop requesting portraits for their friends; if the friends really want them enough, they can come on here and request them.
  • I must have either a username or a link to the avatar studio included in the request. Otherwise, I will have to use a low quality photo from somewhere on the web, which makes the colors different from the actual character.
  • No requesting two times for the same character unless its a specialty.  Sometimes, I will make another one, because I wasn’t pleased with it.  Please tell me in the comments how you liked your portrait!  If you are not pleased, I am very sorry.
  • And whenever you get the portrait, please do something with it?  I really enjoy people enjoying my art, so distribute!  Of course, please credit me, but tell everyone you know about these Poptropican Portraits!
  • Keep in mind that I need you to keep the outfit that you want to be drawn from the time that you request it to the time that it is published.  Otherwise, I will draw something you may not have been expecting!  So please keep that in mind.

If you follow these rules, your request should include a link or username to your character,  perhaps what you are planning to do with it, and of course a please. 😉

Thanks,

-HP

H.P.S. – I’ve been working on a signature, but haven’t perfected it yet. 😀  I’ll start using it soon though.

Viewer's Showcase

Viewer’s Showcase!

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

For some of you viewers, your ultimate goal is to get featured in a post for finding a glitch, or alerting us about something new… but some of you never get the chance — the once a month Viewer’s Showcase doesn’t require anything but some handy hands!

spotlight

I will be showcasing some of the most awesome art, stories, and blogs in the Poptropica universe on these posts — but I will be the one deciding!  I’ll scour the web to find the best, then let these geniuses have the spotlight!

Art

Silver Wolf, PHB viewer and PTFP owner has took off lately with her sensational new art.  It is quirky but cool, and you can marvel at it for hours.

Looks like I have some competition. 😉

Stories

Comics qualify as novels, and novels are stories.  Cool Berry the Unicorn Cat has been hard it work creating funny little gems that are awesome!

Blog of the Month

This month, We-Love-Poptropica deserves some credit.  It’s not a regular blog, it runs on DeviantArt, and can also be called a group.  Or, a cool and artsy community.  It’s really awesome and I suggest you check it out. 🙂

Also, Spotted Dragon is having a Christmas and birthday party for her blog over on the PTFP chat; I hope you can come!

That’s it, I hope you enjoyed some awesomely unique creativity.  I hope you got a fill of something fresh and new.  😀

Poptropican Portraits

Poptropican Portraits Round 2

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

Everyone’s been waiting for em, here are the new Poptropican Portraits! –

Just a couple notes for you guys,

First, I just started using a new art program.  It’s free, and amazing, and you can find it here.  Can you tell the difference?

Remember to leave your requests on THIS POST, and then check back next week (Tuesday or Wednesday) to obtain them!  Any requests not on this post will not be accepted.

Also, a few of the Pop bloggers have been working on a blog Hats with Hearts, a charity site with St. Jude’s hospital. 🙂 Be sure to check that out.

Now, for all you sneak peek hunters —

I’m going to analyze Gamer Guy’s room from Zomberry Island; it’s got some MAJOR craziness!

Poptropica

Mega Fighting Bots is anime… what does this mean?  Here’s the strange part though…

waroftheislands

Translated to English, this poster says “War of the Islands”… what?!  What do you think?  Tell me in the comments. 🙂

PHB Sneak Peeks, PHB Specials

PHB Sunday Special: Hacks, Music, and Genius

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

A while ago, Strange Cat (or Christmas Clown) mused that I may become the new Codien…

I didn’t really take it seriously, but now, I sort of wonder.  I think I may have hit the jack pot, I can prove it to you with a link.  Maybe even a couple links.  Anyway, let’s break this down into parts.

Gamer Guy

The talk of the town is that Gamer Guy got fired.  Well, I’m pretty sure he didn’t get fired.  I have my theories, but I also may know who he really is. I don’t know for sure, but Kyle Fox sure fits the description: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/kyle-fox/14/190/587

I believe that Kyle did a one time job for Poptropica, and the posts were just part of that.  They took advantage of the situation, and made it into a sort of publicity stunt.  When the job was over, his fun was over. This seems to be slightly forced though, so what do you guys think?

The Music

If I haven’t told you before, here it is:  if all else fails, I will root for the new improved islands JUST because of the amazing soundtrack. Jeff Heim is a genius, his music is genius, and you can hear the actual original soundtracks from their original files. This is only the beginning.  More will be revealed later.

The Backgrounds

As well as music, you can view the backgrounds of scenes just like you can view items!  Sadly, you can’t save them to you computer, as they are shockwave files, and some of them are off of the screen.  Maybe in the future we can have a page dedicated to the backgrounds, as there are key words to reveal them.

The Body

You can also view parts of the Poptropican body!

The Sounds

You can also hear the sounds!

~

In  all, I think that this is a major breakthrough, and it’s not just for the sound islands.  To file away everything together will be a huge undertaking, but I think that it can be done!

There is more than just what I showed you today; the possibilities are endless!  I will post more some time or another. 🙂

Ten things you DIDN'T know about Poptropica!

Ten Things You DIDN’T Know About Poptropica!

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

I’ve been poking around a bit, connecting some dots, and here’s what I’ve come up with:

1. Gamer Guy’s real name is Abe.

Don’t believe me?  Check inside the bakery on Ghost Story island.  It’s a nice trivia, I thought.

2. Joe Puddy has visited Super Power Island.

This one is only logical.  Zomberry Island has a lot of subways, right?  In the subway on Super Power Island, under the stairs you will find “Joe was here” written on the walls.

3. You have never been here, but have tried to get here before, maybe when you were younger:

what!
I’m not going to tell you where I am, but when you figure it out, you’re going to flip.  Guess in the comments!

4. Betty Jetty is Ned Noodlehead’s sister.

This may be known by some, but not to others.  It came from the Poptropica Nintendo game, which I will be posting a review about soon.

5. Dr. Hare was created by Shark Boy as an arch enemy to a carrot super hero.

Pretty kewl stuff.

6. Balloon Boy is actually based off of a real incident.

It’s true!  Craziness is the world we live in. xD

7. There is a site for the Mews Foundation (from Cryptids Island).

This may not be a surprise to everyone, but there is a site made by Poptropica, pretty silly stuff.

8. Poptropica Toys are not listed on the Poptropica Shop!

I’m serious! None on the main homepage, even when you click View All. Start buying these babies off of Ebay, peoples, before they disappear forever! They can, however, be found on the Poptropica Toys page.

9. Islands used to have a rating next to it on the map; it would say “hard”, “medium”, or “easy”.

It was a nice feature; I actually thought it was helpful… nothing else to say about it. 😛

10. Islands can be selected via the Tab and Enter key.

One instance of keyboard input that effects the game.  I wonder what else can be done with the keys… ❓

That’s my Poptropica trivia!  I hope you guys enjoyed it. If you’re interested in more, check out the PHB’s Trivia pages for every island under the Island Help page!
