Poptropican Portraits

Poptropican Portraits Round 6

Edit: Requests are maxed out for this round.

Hi Gs,

What happens when I draw your Poptropican, and give it a flattering title? I think you may know the answer. ๐Ÿ˜›

Poptropican Portraits Logo

I hope everyone is satisfied with their portrait! ๐Ÿ˜€ย If you donโ€™t see yours in there, just tell me in the comments. ย Iโ€™m only taking up to 10 requests this round. ย The request limit may differentiate with rounds, but for those who request past 10, will be moved on to the next round. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Also, you may notice a difference in the portraits, and it’s because I changed the size of them so they will be “Gravatar friendly” — you won’t have to cut anything off if you make the portrait your Gravatar! I’ll be updating all the past ones I’ve made on this blog to “Gravatar friendly”, so check back on theย Poptropican Portraits category, and if yours is in there, please use the updated one. ๐Ÿ˜‰

If you are a wanting to have your own Poptropican Portrait, I’d be glad to draw it for you if you follow the following criteria;

  • This is how the system works: you leave requests on the post that has the portraitsย requested last week. I will only take requests that areย left on the latest portrait post.
  • Requests must be made by the owner of the account. I really would like if people wouldย stop requesting portraits for their friends;ย if the friends really want them enough, they canย come on hereย and request them.
  • I must have either aย usernameย or aย link to the avatar studioย 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 requestingย two timesย for the same character unless its aย specialty. Sometimes, I will make another one, because I wasnโ€™t pleased with it. Please tell me in the comments how you liked your portrait! If you are not pleased,ย I am very sorry.
  • Keep in mind that I need you toย keep the outfitย that you want to be drawn from theย time that you request itย to theย time that it is published. Otherwise, I will draw somethingย you may notย have been expecting! So please keep that in mind.
  • I wonโ€™tย accept glitch accountsย anymore that are not your main account. Iโ€™ll still acceptย minor accounts,ย just not if theyโ€™re loaded with glitches. Itโ€™s difficult to draw, and most of the time itโ€™s for advertising, which I donโ€™t enjoy drawingโ€ฆ

If you follow these rules, I’d be glad to draw your Poptropican. Thanks! ๐Ÿ™‚

And don’t forget — Today at 6pm EST, I’ll be doing a Poptropican Portraits Live Stream, where I draw a Poptropican Live! If you want to join me and a special unrevealed guest, go toย this link (you have to have a Google Account).ย Edit: the livestream is now over. Watch the archived livestream below! ๐Ÿ™‚

Forgotten Islands

But man, they made it 99 cents!

*bursts out into awesome Macklemore rap that none of you will ever get to see*

What’s popping, Poptropicans? Blake here with a quaint little piece of Poptropica news. Forgotten Islands – Poptropica’s first iOS game – is now 99 cents on the App Store! That’s a whole $4 deducted from the original price!ย *The Wheels on the Bus plays as trumpets sound*

Timmy, track SEVEN! *SORRY!*

*2001: A Space Odyssey plays as a giant wooden sculpture of the app’s icon rises from a slit in the ground*

TIMMY, WHERE ARE THE SMOKE MACHINES?!?! *SORRY!*

*smoke machines surround the icon as it rises up*

Yes, yes. Now you can explore Poptropica’s Forgotten Islands in your very own home, such as in these wonderful places… *points to blank Jumbotron*

Timmy, I TOLD you to have the ad playing for after I did my monologue! *SORRY!*

*the Poptropica: Forgotten Islands ad plays on Jumbotron*

Well, yeah. Big buildup for a little thing. Oh yeah, and if you want to check out what the game is like, take a look at the PHB’s full walkthrough for Forgotten Islands, with pictures! I have to go fire Timmy now, so stay popping, Poptropicans! *spotlight falls on me as I walk out*

Timmy, I TOLD you to use the NYLON rope! *SORRY!*

Merchandise

Scary Monsters & Wild West: PopTopics coming Feb 20

Remember Poptropica’s “PopTopics” book series? Where they tell you the cool (or strange) truths of the real world that helped inspire Poptropica’s islands? Soon to join the collection are two new books, both of which will be released February 20 and can currently be pre-ordered on Amazon!

The Creators even gave a little blurb for each one so you’ll have something to look forward to:

Scary Monstersย gives you the low down on the myths and legends behind the creatures you’ve encountered in your adventures on Cryptids Island, Vampire’s Curse Island, Zomberry Island, and more. All of these monsters have a basis in fact — and we’ll reveal them to you!

Wild Westย is all about the amazing true history of the American frontier. Find out what parts of Wild West Island are made up, and which are based on fact. You might be surprised to learn which is which!

More on Poptropica merch, Black Widow even posted a reminder about Poptropica’s personalized clothing shop, which includes sweatshirts for colder weather! Honestly, maybe she just wanted shamelessly advertise her “gorgeous face”. We’re onto you, Black Widow. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Finally, here’s another reminder that we are looking to publishย yourย Poptropica stories, island ideas, fan art, and moreย for the next issue of The Poptropican’s 911, coming out in March! Please email your entries toย poptropican911(at)gmail.comย (replace at with @), and refer to our Magazines page for more details. For inspiration, check out our most recent Pop magazine issue! ๐Ÿ™‚

Advertisements, Glitches

Clip Art, Glitches, and Typos

Hi Gs,

Yes, this will be a mash of a ton of things. Be sure you have the eye protection before viewing this hazardous stew… ๐Ÿ˜›

lol

I was working on an epic fail compilation, but I think I’m just gonna stick with this. I’m sorry, but I have no idea how to “cick”, unless that’s a misspelling of “kick”, which in that case, I’m gonna have to go to the PopTransport, and teleport to the Kickin It ad, and win the prize, to get the special action of kicking so I can kick that sign. ๐Ÿ˜› But seriously, guys, change it. ๐Ÿ˜›

Next, a couple silly glitches that are likely to be patched soon, are going on right now… first, I officially have a replica of Magic Snowball’s Poptropican. I was trolling around Early Poptropica, and I happened to go inside the Pop Shop. When the page loaded, my character wasn’t there… instead, there was Magic Snowball. Her costume, at least. I made the user “magicsnowball230“… if you know the reason behind this, or you know how to make it happen again, please notify me. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Lastly in glitches, alerted to me by Unicorn Cat, this strange glitch that let’s you costumize Houdini in a very odd place (the Nut Job ad)–

Thanks Unicorn Cat for the gif. I’ve tested it, and it works! Have fun. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I started a new page on my site, Mister Monster. I’m sure that some of you will appreciate it; Poptropica Clip Art! I’m always updating it, and I take requests! It’s always free, and you only have to credit me if you want to. ๐Ÿ™‚

And don’t forget — this Saturday, I’m going to be doing a Poptropican Portraits livestream at 6pm EST time and 5pm CST time. I’ll have a special guest talking with me this time, who is yet to be revealed. Who will I draw? Send in your username to [email protected], and I’ll draw (no pun intended) one name from a hat to see who will be drawn live. I hope you can make it! ๐Ÿ˜€

Labs (Land)

Mind Blow (Poptropica Labs)

Hi Gs,

I recently wrote a review on the new feature, Poptropica Labs, where Iย failed at houses… then the Creators postedย some spectacular examples, including this:

bigRaptor

*turns green with envy*

You see, I guess this was what the Creators were looking for. Instead of fail houses like what I made, this stuff IS like actual islands. The only problem is that there is no actual story to build, no NPCs to make. I’ve wrote a list of things Lands needs.

  • An undo button.
  • A delete item button.
  • Make the ground pile less bumpy.
  • Make the pillars a part of the background — not something you can’t walk past.
  • A birds eye view feature.

And those are just a few of the things that need to be done. Otherwise, I’m not using Lands. I’m just not. Do you agree? ๐Ÿ˜›

I tried once more to create something. I failed. Miserably. Guess in the comments what you think it is. Yes, it is indeed a rabbot — or a lower half of one anyway… ๐Ÿ˜› I ran out of space. >.<
