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?
