The PHB’s Pop Masquerade Birthday Collage 🎂🎭🖼️

Gentle Dolphin

Gather ’round, Poptropicans! After twenty-nine days of drawing and posting, the PHB’s Pop Masquerade Birthday Collab comes to a close. Now, on the final day of Poptropica’s 18th anniversary month, we begin this masquerade with paper faces on parade! 🎭

We present to you… the PHB’s Pop Masquerade Birthday Collage! 🎂🖼️

A round of applause to all 32 artists who contributed to this year’s birthday collage! These internet illustrators accepted our invitation and filled the Poptropica Help Ballroom with 54 masked characters. Let us admire the attendees’ fashion and pay tribute to their talented designers. 👨‍🎨👗🧥

Before we end this celebration, let us show our gratitude to the Poptropica Creators for bringing this game to life and to Coolmath Games for keeping it alive on their website. Throughout its life, Poptropica soared to great heights and plummeted to devastating lows. Despite everything, the Creators put their all into the game while the fans showed their support. Here’s to 18 years of Poptropica! We may hide our faces tonight, but we will never hide our love for this game! 🎭🖥️

Thank you all for coming to our party, and have a good day!

EXT. CAPTAIN CRAWFISH’S SHIP “H.M.S. SEA CHICKEN” – EVENING

FADE IN on the ship, later the same day. CRAWFISH has managed to gather everyone on the ship together on the deck. EDWARD is next to him with an old blackboard and a piece of chalk the size of his knuckle. Compared to the lovely weather from earlier, storm clouds are approaching once more.

CRAWFISH

All right, you lily-livered new folk!

(con’t)

I know none of you are used to life at sea, so we’re going to change that starting now!

HARE gags, still a little green in the face.

CRAWFISH

Each one of you has to carry your weight, no matter how high and mighty you may think you are.

EDWARD

None of us want to go through the trouble of training all of ye, so most of this will be cleaning an’ simple chores.

You Are Cordially Invited to the PHB’s Pop Masquerade Birthday Collab 🎂🎭

Gentle Dolphin

Submissions are now closed. Stay tuned for the birthday collage!

Greetings, everyone! We have celebrated Poptropica’s 16th and 17th birthdays with community art collabs, and this year will be no different! Now that Poptropica is old enough to be a legal adult, this year’s art collab will have a classy theme…

🎭 Masquerade Ball 💃

Masquerade parties inspire mystery, intrigue, and creativity. Dress to the nines with your favorite mask and have a grand time at the finest birthday party this side of the internet! All you have to do is follow three simple steps:

1. Draw a character wearing a mask. They can be a canon Pop character, a popsona, or even a character from another piece of media. Please save your drawing as a ✨transparent .png file✨; doing this makes it easier for us to add your art to the collage. Here are two examples drawn by me and Magic Kid:

2. Upload your picture 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.

3. 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 for this collab until Monday, September 29th @ 11:59 pm EST. Just like our previous birthday collabs, we will gather everyone’s drawings and edit them into one big birthday collage. Let’s make Poptropica’s 18th birthday a magical one! 🎉✨

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

Drawing Your Poptropicans As Emoticons, PHB Series

Drawing Your Poptropicans As Emoticons: Round 9! 😜✨

Magic Kid

Hey Poptropicans! I hope that you all had a BLAST at the Poppies a few days ago. (Happy Birthday, PHB! 🥳) But since I now have your attention, here’s the next batch of Poptropicans drawn as some emoticons. 🤩

Since I didn’t get enough OC requests, a lot of these guys are actual in-game characters, which was lots of fun to draw either way. 😁

Credits for this challenge: @abisalli on Tumblr

(The crossed-out ones have already been drawn, but the ones in the highlighted circles are free to choose from, if you would like to suggest a character for next round 😉 )

And now~

ROUND 9!

G9— Daphne Dreadnaught
E4— Shoeless Turtle
G5— The Red Baroness
G6—Speeding Spike
D4—Dangerous Dragon
C3—LJ
C5— Jonas

Really cool OCs, as always. 😎 (I mean, the actual game characters are okay too, I guess– 😝)

Now, you know the drill…

How to get your Poptropican drawn next? Here’s what you need to do:

 COMMENT BELOW (on the most recent DYPAE post) a reference screenshot for your Poptropican (using a public image sharing site like Imgur), their name, AND which facial expression you would like them to have from the chart near the top of the post (for example, E2).

  • 🙅 When asking for an expression, please don’t ask for one that has already been claimed (either by someone in the comments before you, or one that has been crossed out or circled blue in the chart). First come, first served!
  •  ❗Please only comment ONE Poptropica character per person. BUT if you’ve already gotten one of yours drawn, you CAN comment ONE MORE character! 

⌛ After you comment, WAIT PATIENTLY. Everyone who comments and wants to have their Poptropican drawn will get added to a list, so no one gets missed. Each round I’ll only post a handful of them, so hang tight, yours will get drawn at some point. 😁

The next post will be the last round in this series!! If you ever have thought about submitting your Poptropican, this is going to be your last chance. Let’s make this last batch unforgettable! 😄

Over n’ out!

Poppies

Recap: Poppies 2025 Awards 🏆1️⃣7️⃣🎉

LJ

Greetings, Poppie-tropicans! This weekend was the PHB’s 17th birthday, and we celebrated by announcing the winners of the Poppies, our Poptropica fan awards. We appreciate everyone for joining in on the fun this month, from nominating to voting, with almost 400 votes. Wow!

We kicked off the party with a chaotic pre-show skit right before the awards, and every author was featured in our Poppies presentation, which doesn’t happen very often! You can take a look at the video below or keep scrolling for the list of winners.

Thanks to Smart Icicle and Gentle Dolphin for the video, with pre-show skit scripted by Magic Kid and LJ.

And the Poppies go to…

🟡 Community Awards 🟡

Kudos to all the winners and nominees of the 2025 Poppies, our 11th annual round! You’re all incredible. 🥳💚

It was a shame the Poptropica common rooms wouldn’t work, so we couldn’t see each other in them, but that didn’t stop us from having fun! During the party, a group of us lingered after the announcements and played a few rounds of Gartic Phone, which has always been a great time whenever we’ve played it on the Poptropica Help Chat (PHC). Check out a few of our masterpieces! 😏

Shout-out to snoopypilots for archiving most of the drawings as GIFs.
