My name is Noah Rodenbeek and I make drawnbymouse.  I'm excited to see how others have contributed here and what I might be able to contribute myself.

Hi, Noah - I'm new as well ^.^  I liked your moonwalking garden gnome animation!

Noah I edited your post to fix your broken link. You forgot the .com. No biggie and glad to help. 

So what animation program are you using? Or was that line about them not being hand drawn a joke?

I use Hash's Animation: Master and although my rank at the site is "Master" I still have tons and tons to learn. Nice to have another animator here.

Welcome.

sweet, thanks guys, and thanks for the link fix.  I make the animations in Illustrator, and I'll transfer them to Flash if they get too big.  Illustrator starts glitching out if your file gets to big, but it has a cool function where it exports layers as frames in a swf file.  It's really really fun to play around with.

These are really neat! Did not expect the vomiting on the second ball-throwing one. D:

Heheh I loved "Metro Gnome"

Thanks for the kind words.  It's been really fun making these and learning about webcomics in general.  It's a hobby I really just picked up last year and I've been surprised to find such an already rich history.  It's kind of cool to watch pioneers like Penny-Arcade from their first, amateur looking strips to their overwhelming success today.  It's equal parts discouraging and inspiring, you know?
