"Celebrate Wizard101's 16th anniversary! If you are a Pirate101 player, find a way to show off something in Pirate101 that has a Wizard101 theme!"

"Good show, old man!"

Happy 16th birthday to Wizard101! The game truly was a big part of my childhood and without it, I'd have never found Pirate101. Thank you for being an alternative to Free Realms for me - this was the much superior game.

I hope they make the wizards celebrate Pirate's birthday next month

June's Extra Credits Objective is alternatively pride-themed! I and a lot of other 101 fans have LGBT-headcanons for the NPCs/characters, so I wanted to celebrate by drawing two of the most beloved Pirate101 Companions in WLW/MLM solidarity!

Happy Pride!!! 👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩🦜

My EC piece based on Horseman Offering Flowers by Henri Le Comtois

"Pick any game NPC and make content about why you appreciate them, what you find useful or interesting about them, and how they can help players progress their Wizards or Pirates."

I realized I haven't made any pencil drawings for any of the objectives yet, so here's my first one!

Deacon is a special NPC to me because he is the very first Armada member you meet in the Tutorial, introducing you to who the game's enemies are and making it clear from the get-go that he and the rest of his cause are a threat to our Pirate. You encounter him a couple more times in the story and become pretty familiar with him.

Not to mention you have to escape his clutches to get to Skull Island. I love replying the tutorial each time I make a new pirate so I can get to see him again!

Your pirate's favorite pirate @piecesofchess and I collabed on a spooky P101 birthday illustration!

I did the BG work and they CRUSHED the pirates and flying mount 👻

"Celebrate Pirate101's 12th anniversary by creating a piece of content on why you love playing the game!"

@monicole-art and I collaborated on a Halloween-Birthday-themed celebration piece for Extra Credits this month! Our pirates having cake in a spooky forest. Just your average Tuesday. 😎

My part of the collab below the cut:

"Summer school season is in full swing!" "Back to school is cool! What keeps you wizarding or pirating between classes and homework, or if you've already graduated, your other summer-to-fall activities? Describe the best ways to get back into the game if you've taken a break for a while."

What gets me back into playing Pirate101 is trying out new classes. Each one is fun in figuring out how to play and using their strengths. It makes battle in P101 so much more enjoyable and encourages me to create new Pirates in the hopes that I can max them out again!

Here are my current pirates sharing their experiences with their class!

May's Extra Credits objective was for side content, and one of my favorite parts of Pirate101 are the side companions! To bring some attention to them, I've made a guide explaining how to get my fav, Shiruku Neko!

"Celebrate Pirate101's 11th anniversary by creating a piece of content on why you love playing the game!"

My October Pirate101 Extra Credits piece! The Armada have always been my favorite part of playing P101, learning how to draw them has taught me so much as an artist. Happy Birthday, Pirate101!

"What's your pot of gold moment in Wizard101 or Pirate101? Share with the community what happened and how they can achieve such riches!"

I have yet to achieve my *true* pot-of gold-moment in Pirate101, which would be obtaining a Haywire Armada Companion (100+ packs opened so far and no luck there), but I'll settle for when I got the Pocket Dutchman mount, which goes INCREDIBLE with my Pirate's Halloween theme.

I actually don't remember getting it, but my brother says I got the drop on a free code after it first came out. You can get it from the Pirate Nightmare Pack!

Well well, guess who made the Extra Credits program ☠️❤️☠️ A collab with the Extra Credits crew, everyone's pirates were so fun to draw!

[piecesofchess]

My collaborative entry with fellow program artist, Comocha, for the November Extra Credit objective! They drew the Wizard101 side.

We chose the subject of pet training and collaborated with a speedpainting video together! I haven't recorded myself drawing in MS Paint for a long time; it was definitely a learning experience.

April's Extra Credits Objective is Spring Cleaning, so I decided to clean out the clutter that was Diego's dorm. He'll be moving into a real house soon, so his place is going to be simple while keeping its Pirate theme in the meantime.

I used to be *extremely* into house decorating on W101 when I was a kid, but it's going to take some time + effort getting back to it. I figure starting on a clean slate and spring cleaning my P101 houses + dorms will be a good way to start!

P101's house decorating is definitely more...restrictive than W101's currently. I would still like to try and make it my goal to theme one of my houses in-game someday!
