quick update on clerks restored; we are fucked, my pc died. reason; a really slippery glass of mineral fucking water.

... well it's not THAT bad, for starters; The chance of the disk being fine is high. Also, if the disk died; I didn't lose much:

- Mr. Plug file was far from done, prop. like 90% unfinished. No problems on redoing him.

- the editable files of Dante, Randal, Jay and SB are in another drive. (just a little bit outdated.)

- I probably lost some editable logos but these ain't that hard to redo.

- the Google Drive link is still up.

and yeah. that's the update. I'm not really that sad about clerks restored but more about my music, my ocs and other documents for other projects, but what can I do? besides wait.

that's all, cya.

Hold on hold on hold on hold on-

Isn't that Randal image weird? Like, I don't remember it from the series... where is it from?? ?? .,.. ?? ???? ¿??...

Since I did Jay and Silent Bob, here's fursonas for these two as well. I struggled a lot with Dante, idk what fits him 😭 would love suggestions if anyone has any

[yellowfench]

looking fresh.

[yellowfench]

I'm a busy guy, but I know you guys don't know that so I'm going to give you guys an update on some stuff.

- The Clerks Restoration is still up, I'm currently doing Mr. Plug

- I really want to show you guys my other type of works, so expect music, drawings and unfinished concepts to be also posted here. (Not Clerks related because I LIKE OTHER STUFF TO)

- Thinking about making a alt blog for clerks related stuff, I don't wanna be recognized as "The Clerks Animated Guy" lmao.

- Working on a redesign for my character and logo; they work but I want to polish them out. Also finding a better shade of Yellow.

- Working in having fun and relaxing for once, I'm so try-hard with school to an unhealthy degree sometimes...

Yeah that's all. Anything else? Not really. I'll add Mr. Plug image as filler in a while.

Cya.

My investigation of this image led me to a blog titled Me, Myself and I: I'm Tired of Being Broke, written by a London fashion intern around 2009.

The blog accredites the image to another user called Amirariff.

Amirariff used the exact image for his entry called "Status: Broke" written around September, 2008.

The key difference, and why this second blog is important, is that it kept the image as a .gif, while the original post by LFI was in .jpg. My chances of finding the image increased, mainly because I now had the original size and format

Using .gifs instead of .pngs or .jpgs is definitely a Kevin thing, but an old Kevin thing. So, my best guess for finding the image was mainly through the Wayback Machine on one of Kevin's websites

After digging around for about a week (with pauses, lmao), I found this snapshot

This was the original webpage for the Clerks: The Cartoon Inaction Figures, located on jayandsilentbob.com under the file name 'clercarinfig.html.'

If you scroll down a little on this page, you'll find two handsome fellas making social life the sidebar.

Clicking on these two stoners leads you to the Blunt-light Specials page, an event where Viewaskewniverse merch was heavily discounted to prevent it from ending up in a warehouse where it would be stored indefinitely.

The broken image at the top of the website was probably a photo of the Jay and Silent Bob Secret Stash Store judging by the name of the corrupted file 'jsbstash_1881_14534810'

So, in conclusion; Jay and Bob were drawn that way because they were only used as buttons for the Jay and Silent Bob webpage to call out the attention of the viewer to the Blunt-light Specials selling.

"but wait, there's more!" ahh post:

TRIVIA TIME

1. Before knowing this, I asked Stephen Silver if this was his drawing, he said it was his drawing and he remembers drawing it for a "charity that Kevin was doing", making me surf around two days for old 2001~2007 webpages that used the word "Kevin Smith" and "Charity"!! #ripsleepschelude

2. The Image was used several times on the Internet in different ways, the examples include:

- A wordpress article about Red Islam vs. White Islam from 2012

- An article about learning being expensive from 2009

- and finally, the MOST impressive one in my opinion; a Russian politic themed website listing the artwork in a wordpress article about political cartoon parodies, titled "Politics Through a Cartoonist’s Eyes…" from 2013. (The long screenshot is a must and I swear it is not edited.)

It is so shocking seeing how some images can surf and roam around the Internet so freely, passing from person to person, ending up on sites where they seem to fit if you don't know the context while some others are destined to be lost in the depths of the Internet.

But yeah, that concludes all of... this "investigation." If you guys have another piece of Clerks media you guys want to find you can tell me via Direct Message. The links for every site and snapshot will be added later on a Pastebin. But now, yello is eepy.

Cya.

Hey guys I just found some art that I've never seen before and don't know the origin of. It looks kind of official. If anyone knows the origin of THIS...

...please tell me. Because I have...words.

Edit: wait...what looks to be Stephen Silver's signature is right there next to Silent Bob. I am considering a very strongly-worded letter.

off-topic, a meme that you (probably) won't understand.

lowkey dilf

Leonardo's render is done and was added to the G. drive, along side with some other misc stuff like the icon from The Secret Stash.

yeah that's the update.

Clerks: The Animated Series Restoration Project

Hi everyone! I'll anounce ONE of my various ambicious projects… and this time is about Clerks.

The Clerks: The Animated Series' Restoration Project is a Google Drive folder that contains fan-made restorations of key art and promo art from Clerks: The Animated Series in standart and high definition for anyone to use.

At the time of this post; September 16 of 2024 the drive contains:

A render of Dante, Randal, Jay and Silent Bob.

A render of the Clerks Animated logo.

A recreation of the Title Card.

but I'll be adding more stuff in the future like other characters (Mr. Plug, Leonardo, Lando, other characters form the series.), backgrounds, alternative character renders, promo art, between other stuff.

For any question and how to submit renders and images, on the FAQ from the Google Drive.

[yellowfench]

old ass siivagunner drawing I made early this year.

[yellowfench]

That one time Vinny mentioned Jay n SB when playing Jay and the stolen toys lmao. Just because.

[yellowfench]

Clerks franchise (considering only the original movie, the animated series, and some promotional material) + a funny edit at the end.

Edit, Sep 2, 2024: Added the DOGMA font, Av Qest which is a fan-made font that mimics the one from the movie; so it's not official but is usable for your DOGMATIC activities.

[yellowfench]

little precious tree, plus extremely limited gameplay.

[yellowfench]

I can do everything as long as I'm willing to learn and crack my head open just to make a skybox.

[yellowfench]

JOY FANART- yea.

[yellowfench]

what should I do with these bad boys? working on remaking every assets form Clerks Animated in high quality just for fun and practicing before my summer break is over.
