The PHB’s Pop Carnival Birthday Collab 🎂🎪🎨

Gentle Dolphin

Welcome to the Poptropica Help Blog! My name is Gentle Dolphin, I’m your host, and I’m here to invite you to the most game-changing, art-making, BIRTHDAY-CELEBRATING artistic collaboration you’ve ever laid your eyes upon! The theme for our fourth annual Poptropica birthday art collab is… 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

🎆🎪CARNIVAL🤡🎆

Our previous birthday parties were sweet, nostalgic, and mysterious. It’s time to let loose and have some silly fun before Poptropica turns two decades old next year.👴 We’re asking you, Poptropica fans, to step right up and draw characters having some good old-fashioned fair fun! Make sure to read the rules before going on this ride:

🧑‍🎨Draw a character having fun at the carnival! They can be a canon Poptropica character, a Pop OC, or a character from another piece of media. Please save your drawing as a transparent .png image so it can be easily added to the collage. Here’s a picture of Gentle for an example, although she may not be having fun in this moment:

🖼️Upload your image 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.

💻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 until Tuesday, September 29th @ 11:59 pm EST, so don’t miss your chance to join. Per tradition, we’ll gather everyone’s art and put them into a colossal collage! We hope you can join us for Poptropica’s 19th birthday celebration, and let’s hope that won’t be like the last carnival to grace Poptropica. 🎪

Thank you for reading, and have a good day!

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!

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!
