EXT. DUSTY GULCH – EVENING

Weโ€™re back outside the Dusty Gulch Hotel. WIDOW can be seen through the saloon doors at the bar counter, looking much less agonized. Meanwhile, MOREAU is getting her picture taken by a photographer outside. She is handed her photo, disappointed to find that DR. HARE accidentally photobombed her while he was lurking in the background for clues, walking around with a metal detector.

MOREAU runs to him, whispering:

MOREAU

You! Put that away! We donโ€™t need to attract any more attention?

HARE pushes a button. The metal detector swiftly folds up into a compact case.

HARE

Do you have any better ideas?

DIRECTOR D.

(Off-screen)

Over here!

DIRECTOR D. is searching behind a nearby trading post. Heโ€™s looking at the base, where an old handkerchief is laying. Not just oldโ€“its threads are coated with a strange, dark substance, similar to the one found by the shipโ€™s mast.

DR. HARE picks it up with a cloth and puts it in a bag.

HARE

Iโ€™ll test it when we get back to the ship.

DEPUTY

Howdy there!

FINAL ROUND: Drawing Your Poptropicans As Emoticons!! ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅณโœจ

Ladies and gentlemen… The moment that has been destined to happen for eight months now…

The FINAL post for the series Drawing Your Poptropicans As Emoticons! ๐Ÿฅณ

Now before I show you the final batch, I need you to appreciate the glory of this chart:

There are no spots left. I can’t believe it!

Well, actually I can believe it. I put a LOT of work in this series. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Each drawing took me about 20 minutes (according to Procreate’s nifty little time-tracking tool) and there were a total of… 72 emoticons. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

…You do the math. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™

I actually really enjoyed it all, though! And if anyone’s curious, here’s my process with Ned Noodlehead:

So that’s how I draw them! ๐Ÿ™‚

*dramatic sigh* Well, there’s no point keeping them all from you any longer… the final batch…

ROUND 10!!

“And… wrap that up and give it to a child on Christmas, ’cause we’re done!” ๐Ÿ˜

Typically at this point of the post, I’d just have the normal drill of “If you want YOUR Poptropican drawn blah blah blah” but since this is the last post in the series, I would like to give a special thank you to everyone who’s supported this series! Whether you’ve been here from the very beginning, or if you just found this a week ago, I really appreciate everyone who’s contributed a Poptropican and everyone who’s left a comment. THANK YOU! ๐Ÿ’–

Over and out!

The PHBโ€™s Pop Masquerade Birthday Collage ๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽญ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ

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! ๐ŸŽญ

We present to you… the PHBโ€™s Pop Masquerade Birthday Collage! ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ

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. ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ‘—๐Ÿงฅ

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! ๐ŸŽญ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ

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

EXT. CAPTAIN CRAWFISHโ€™S SHIP โ€œH.M.S. SEA CHICKENโ€ – 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!

(conโ€™t)

I know none of you are used to life at sea, so weโ€™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 anโ€™ simple chores.

DIRECTOR D.

I used to hire janitors for thisโ€ฆ

You Are Cordially Invited to the PHBโ€™s Pop Masquerade Birthday Collab ๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽญ

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…

๐ŸŽญ Masquerade Ball ๐Ÿ’ƒ

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 โœจtransparent .png fileโœจ; 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 ImgurDiscordDeviantArt, 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! ๐ŸŽ‰โœจ

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!
