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. 😁
(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 DreadnaughtE4— Shoeless TurtleG5— The Red BaronessG6—Speeding SpikeD4—Dangerous DragonC3—LJC5— 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:
COMMENTBELOW (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! 😄
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.
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.

Thank you for being with us on the blue carpet this year! It was wonderful celebrating Poptropica’s legacy once more, along with the PHB’s 17th birthday. Just one more year until adulthood! Until then, Poptropicans…
Poptropica fan artist RainbowBrush (Tough Spinner) has been drawing iconic characters from the game based on community requests, and the result is this amazing poster-worthy art below. So cool, right? ✨
To download this poster, right-click on it and choose ‘Save Image’. Maybe even print it out and stick it on your wall if you like!
Each day over the past three weeks, RainbowBrush invited the Poptropica community on Reddit and the PHC to nominate characters for the poster. She then drew the day’s most popular choice, sharing the progress of the canvas day by day with the latest addition, until at last it was complete with 21 characters. Here’s a look at each one!

How many of these characters did you recognize? 💥
And just for fun, here’s a glimpse at how the canvas grew bit by bit over the course of the project, a gradual yet glorious expansion of color, playfulness, and nostalgia. Great work, RainbowBrush! 🤩

Stand up and cheer because Poppies season is here! 👏🏆
The Poppies is our annual Poptropicacommunity awards event held in honor of the PHB’s birthday on July 26th. Throughout the month of July, readers get to nominate and vote for their favorites to win all sorts of fun fan awards. This is our eleventh Poppies, so let’s waste no time getting ready for the celebration!
Let’s kick things off with the nomination round, which starts now and ends on Tuesday, July 8th! Please give us your suggestions for who and what should be nominated for the following twelve categories:
Poptropica Awards
Club Strength: Robots own the night.
🌄 Best Character Arc: Several characters throughout Poptropica’s history have changed over the course of their stories. Which character do you think had the greatest transformation, for better or worse?
🤖 Best Robot: Many robots have graced Poptropica over the years. Such examples include Mordred’s mechanical animals, the Steamworks Island automatons, the Mega Fighting Bots, and most of Game Show Island‘s cast. So many to choose, but which bot is the best?
😋 Tastiest Food: Poptropica has featured foods ranging from a simple slice of cake to a feast fit for a Viking. Which of these digital delectables looks the most delicious?
🏠 Best Island to Reside In: If you were a citizen of Poptropica, which island would you call home? Would you pick the tropical Shark Tooth Island, the fantastical Fairy Tale Island, or the aptly-named Home Island?
😡🔚 Worst Ending: Unresolved plot threads, anti-climatic bosses, and unearned achievements are a few ways an ending can fail miserably. Which ending is the most egregious in your eyes?
😄🔚 Best Ending: Let’s end this section on a positive note. A good ending doesn’t necessarily have to be happy; it just needs to be satisfying to the player (or reader, if you’re a fan of the books). Which ending was wrapped with the neatest little bow?
Community Awards
🎨 Best Fan Art of the Year: Fans contribute so much amazing art to the Pop community, but which piece should be declared this year’s finest? You can find potential candidates on social media, the PHC Discord server‘s pop-art channel , and our DeviantArt group. (Anything published on/after July 2024 is eligible.)
🎥 Best Fan Video of the Year: There are many types of Poptropica fan videos like Let’s Plays, funny memes, nostalgic retrospectives, and more. Which video is the most deserving of this award? (Anything published on/after July 2024 is eligible.)
✍️ Best Guest Post of the Year: The PHB has featured hundreds of guests posts from fans all over the internet, and everyone is welcome to share their ideas! Which guest post from this past year did you enjoy the most? (Anything published on/after July 2024 is eligible.)
😍 Cutest OC: This year, we decided to highlight some of the community’s Original Characters! This particular category will focus on our little cutie patooties. Which Poptropica OC do you think is the most adorable face in the fandom?
😎 Coolest OC: Continuing on the OC train, this category will focus on all things awesome. Many of our original characters tell epic tales of adventure or just look pretty rad. There are so many cool Poptropica OCs, but which one is 20% cooler than the rest?
👕 Best Cosplay: IRL Poptropica cosplays may not be common, but they are a nice treat when they appear. These can be full-on character costumes or normal outfits inspired by Pop (aka “bounding”). Who’s the best-dressed fan in this regard? You can find cosplays on social media, and we’ve featured a few on Community Creations a few years ago!
