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. 😂

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

…You do the math. 😂🙏

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

Sketch
Line Art
Flat Colors+Blush
Shading and Lighting
Color inside lines and outline for FINAL!

So that’s how I draw them! 🙂

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

ROUND 10!!

H7— Sporty Runner
A6— Wild Bear
B9— Ned Noodlehead
Golden- E9
D6- Dr. Lange
D7- Ringmaster Raven
E2- Pink Star
C6- Lone Flipper
A5— White Rock

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

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! 💖

Over and out!

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. 😁

(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!

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.

PHB Special: Poptropica Alignment Charts, Part 3

LJ

Wazzup guys! It’s time to look at another alignment chart—the last of this PHB Special.

This last chart is pretty straightforward and largely open to anyone’s personal interpretation. That being said, there are a handful of character reactions that are simply undeniable. (I’m looking at you, Florian “Flashy” Fosbury.)

Here, I’ve organized sections based on how I believe various Poptropica characters would respond to the phrase “I like you”. This one is cute and silly and I had fun thinking about the different possibilities.

Some people keep it friendly, others can’t even imagine being liked 🥲, some are like “DUH”, and some take it to another level. 🫢

Below are the names of the characters for reference, in case you don’t recognize them:

•”I like you too…friend!” 😊: Jorge Flores (Poptropica Graphic Novel Series), Amelia (Home Island), & Hippie Harry (Reality TV Island)
•”LOL why” 🤪: Crusoe (Monkey Wrench Island), Scheherazade (Arabian Nights Island), & Bucky Lucas (Reality TV Island)
•“You and everyone else” 😏: Florian (Escape From Pelican Rock Island), Sarah Snooty (Reality TV Island), & Kirk Strayer (Backlot Island)
•“You mean like? Or like like?” 😯: Edgar (Monster Carnival Island) & Octavian (Poptropica Graphic Novel Series)
•“Oof, I’m sorry for you…” 🥴: Icarus (Pop Worlds, Greek Sea Odyssey Island), Henry Flatbottom (Ghost Story Island) & Rumpelstiltskin (Fairytale Island)
•“And I LOVE you.” 🥰: Aphrodite (Mythology Island), Count Bram (Vampire’s Curse), & Valiant LoveJoy (Ghost Story Island)

What do you think of their reactions? How do YOU think these characters would react? What other characters do you have in mind for this chart? (As usual, feel free to use my template below!⬇️)

I’ve been really appreciating these alignment charts for a while, but tying them to Poptropica just makes them even better to be honest. I hope you enjoyed them as much as I have. Thanks for reading everyone! 🍀
