This list is currently still under construction, but there are still some great links for you to check out. If you notice we are missing a site that you find useful, please let us know! We are always looking for new and interesting sites! Use the navigation bar above to move around the page.

Multimedia Department Stores
We will be mentioning these sites again where appropriate, but we thought it would be good to let you know where you can find one-stop shopping for when you are pressed for time. These "Department Stores" are certainly wonderful, but don't forget to stop by the "Specialty Shops" as well. They aren't too expensive at all...
Karlsweb
Great e-zine with lots and lots of amazing graphics. Plus video covers to down load and illustrated fanfic... It's visually astounding!

Farscape/Darkscape
So much here...screencaps, skins, and if you can't find a wallpaper to drool over, then you should get your eyes checked!!

Farscape Fantasy
A virtual treasure-trove of multimedia goodies. Screencaps, original art, and music videos galore to keep you occupied for days.

Sanctum of Scorpius
Consider this on "Scorpi R Us" 'cause it is loaded with all kinds of cool toys. Images, sounds, a gallery, simulations, animations, computer goodies...you name it! Oh, and when you come here, SACC has a whole different meaning. Don't say you weren't warned!

Episode Screencaps
Farscape World
Dani is a master of, among other things, screencapping. Since the server problems you can now find only Season 1 and then a pick up at Season 4, but the quality hasn't changed an iota.

Un4Scene's Hidden Memories
Well, when you do one thing, you might as well do it well. And oh, Un4scene does! Some of the best screencaps available--many of them DVD quality. Up-to-date through season 4.

Farscape Fantasy
There ain't much Dallascaper doesn't have on his site. But do be sure to wander around the copius amount of screencaps in Dallas' gallery. You won't be sorry. Up-to-date through season 4.

Farscape/Darkscape's Farscape Episode Images
A great supplement to Farscape/Darkscape--Jackie and Una have lots of clear images for your perusal. Up-to-date through season 2 and including the final four of season 3. Check out the amazing job done with "Into the Lion's Den pt.2: Wolf in Sheep's Clothing"...

Farscape TV
Normally we would wait to link to a site until it is complete, but we had to make an exception here with Farscape TV. The handful of episodes from the first 3 seasons that are currently screencapped are stunning--plentiful and crystal clear. Keep an eye on this site (join the mailing list to keep you aprised of updates) because it is a keeper.

Other images
The Void
A neat-looking web site with lots to offer. Images are broken down by character.

Brit Angie's Ben Browder Corner
Gazillions of images. (We think...there were too many to count!) of you guessed it...Ben Browder! Not just Farscape stuff either! Shots from his previous work, and even his yearbook! Check it out. You don't want to miss it.

Claudia Black.de
Darkscape folks do the RHG thing. All good stuff--images, multimedia, messageboard!

ExquisiteIrony's Chiana/Gigi Page
A really lovely site dedicated to the monochromatic sprite known as Chiana. Definitely take a look at the classy "Look of Chi" section. You'll feel like you are at a UT fashion show! Oh, and EI was nice enough to add some beautiful pics of Aeryn and Zhaan too. A triple whammy!

Crais O Files
Umm...yeah. This would be about...Crais! Pictures, sounds, fiction all about our boy Crais! (Not to mention his alter-ego, Lani Tupu!)


Wallpapers, Icons, Skins, Fonts, and Sounds
Farscape/Darkscape
As mentioned above, this should be one of your first stops when looking for anything Farscape for your computer. It might just be your last too!

Snurcher's Guide To Farscape
Get your extra-cool icons and cursors here. And by that I don't mean Rygel when he's angry. Flying maybe... This is the only place I'm aware of that offers Froonium at a reasonable price. Oh, and if you ever wanted a DRD that actually worked, this is the place to go.

FarscapeWeb
FarscapeWeb is another one of those really handy FS e-zines, but we really had to point out some very striking wallpapers. Plenty to choose from here--4 galleries worth! Wallpaper shopping was never quite so fun!

Farscape Obsession
Lots and Lots of wallpapers and a few screensavers by Imajica.

Scaper's Sancutary
Home of SACC (the kindler, gentler SACC), check out their sounds section for clips from various episodes of seasons 1-3.

Chorn and Scorpwanna's
For those of you looking for a clip of Rygel singing his "Reverse" song from TtLG, look no more!

Scaper Sounds
Another location to find many a sound for seasons 1-3.

Music, Music Videos, and Video...Oh My!
Guy Gross
The award-winning Farscape composer's own site. Lots of great background on Guy and his wonderful work. Check it out and drop Guy a line! Let him know you love his wonderful music.

GNP/Crescendo Records
This is the label that publishes the Farscape Soundtrack. Feel free to order the first and second season compilation there.

The Gammak Bass
Need a sountrack for your next rave? This is the place to go. Amazing dance mixes with Farscape dialog cut in. My personal fave...My Side, Your Side. What could be better than dancing wildly to Stark's repetitive redundancy disorder? Tell me!!

Farscape Fantasy
If you are looking for a place to showcase your video or just download some truly amazing feats of editing, this is the premiere place to go. Dallascaper is "Keeper of All that is Good in the Audio Visual World."

KOBA TV
A bunch of music videos to download, including the Muppet Show Theme video.

Nickless's Videos
Lots of Genesis here--without the Heat Delirum! My favorite though has to be "Two Princes"--that Aeryn! She get's all the guys! :)

Birgit's Videos
If you are a fan of Farscape and the X-Files, this is your place. Birgit has some really wonderful well-built videos you'll want to download and watch over and over again. Trust me. I know whereof I speak.

Contender Entertainment Group
For anyone interested in buying the UK (Region 2) DVDs or VHS tapes, this is the company who produces and distributes them. They are up-to-date through Season 3. Pretty cool site even without the FS stuff...

ADV Films
So far only Season 1 (U.S. Version--Region 1) has been released, but we are sure that ADV will be doing a stellar job with the upcoming DVDs for seasons 2 & 3.

Chorn and Scorpwanna's Farscape Site
Plenty of multimedia to be had here. Video clips are broken down by character. Definitely worth the trip. And, I think they may take requests.

Print Resources to Keep Your Scanner Busy
Farscape Magazine
As we mentioned over at the Writer's Block, there is no link to Titan Magazines, publishers of the Farscape Magazine. But if you'd like to subscribe in the U.S. or Canada, you can either call 1-877-363-1310 or go to the Express Mag web site. U.K. and other countries can email Titan directly. Glossy issues with a plethora of wonderful pictures--even groovy pull-out posters. Mmmmm...John Crichton: "Centerfold"...

Sci Fi Magazine (from the folks at the SciFi Channel)
Well, if there weren't any Farscape articles and pictures in here fairly often, then I wouldn't know where to look!

Visi-Mag
All our other favorite genre magazines: Cult Times, Starburst, TV Zone can be previewed and ordered from this site.

Cinescape
I'm sure they'll be getting around to having more FS stuff once the X-Files is over...

Wildstorm Comics
Two pretty different comic illustration styles can be found in the two stories told in this two-part Farscape comic book. Either way, Chi looks great as always...Check out War Torn parts one and two.

Creation Entertainment
These are the fine folks who take care of the Fan club merch and cons. You can buy lots of Farscape photographs here. Oh, and don't forget to pick up a shot glass for all the drinking going on during the next epic hiatus...

Lightspeed Fine Art
Place to buy Farscape posters--kinda pricey lithographs--some autographed. Nice quality though.


Gaming, Animation, Effects, and Merchandise
Red Lemon
A small gaming studio out of Scotland, Red Lemon got the coveted (well, it would be to us!) task of creating the Farscape PC game. It's due out sometime this summer.

Sci Fi's Game Developer's Diary
Keep up with Red Lemon's progress courtesy of SciFi.com. They are nice enough to provide us with sneak previews of the interface and let us in on lots of great info.

Yoram Gross EM TV
This well-established and famous Australian animation house handled the animation homage to Warner Brothers we were treated with in Revenging Angel.

Animal Logic
Animal Logic is the Australian effects house that does the amazing visual effects we have come to love. They are also the same house that handles Visual Effects for the Matrix. Wouldn't it be cool to work there? ;)

Toy Vault
Ever wanted to send Barbie out on a blind date from hell? Well, pick up your Scorpy doll here and send them off to dinner. Also available, shades of Crais, Mutant Aeryn, Rygel, Zhaan, and Chiana.

Screencapping

How to Create a Perfect Screenshot Painlessly
This site includes information on how to do a full screen capture—whatever you are actually seeing on your screen. It then gives you instructions on how to take that capture and open it up in another utility such as Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, etc. where you can manipulate the screen capture to fit your needs. There are also some links at the bottom of the page for some different types of paint and screen capping software.

Techsmith
A site that explains details of a program called Snap It, which is another screen capping software. The site gives product news, latest highlights, customer spotlights and technical support including some FAQs.

Hyperionics
Information on several different types of screen capture software—HyperSnap DX and HyperCam. Gives product information, downloads and technical support.

Screen Catcher (for Mac)
Screen Catcher is a screen capture application capable of taking snapshots of screen images and saving them as PICT, GIF, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PNG, Photoshop, SGI, MacPaint,TGA, and QuickTime files. It also allows images to be captured to the clipboard, the printer, or to Screen Catcher's own windows, where they can be manipulated to change the color palette or reduce the number of colors in the image before copying, printing, or saving.

Paraben
Site for Paraben's screen capture software. Includes product information, product download and reviews. You can use this software to screen cap from your screen or from different medial including video and DVD. Also includes editing tools that help you manipulate your images.

Cyberlink
Product site that includes technical information, product download, product resources (tutorials, user's guides, etc.) and technical support. This software is for viewing/screen capping DVD and CD Media and can also be used for MP3, CD, VCD and SVCD multi-channel playback.

Ambrosia Software (for Mac)
Software for the MAC that allows users to save anything visible on screen in a variety of image file formats including .bmp, .pict, .gif, .jpg, .png, .tiff, .pdf, or photoshop files as well as record on-screen action as a Quick Time movie. This software can do screen caps from your DVD player if you have an nVidia graphics card.

How to grab and share screenshots--the easy way
Small article talking about different software that can be used to do screen capping. Gives links to another site where software can be downloaded.

ZDnet Downloads
Page where HyperSnap DX software can be downloaded. Gives description of software plus allows you to rate the product or read other people's ratings concerning the product.

Intervideo
Product profile on the WinDVD software. This is a DVD software player that allows you to do screen caps from any DVD that you're watching on your computer. Gives lots of product information plus the option to download the software directly from the site. (Software is similar to the PowerDVD software listed above).

Huntfor.com
List of screen capture software with links to the product sites which includes the technical information for each software.

ATI
Product site for ATI graphics cards. The higher end of these cards will give you the ability to do screen capping from several different formats. CD, VCD, and your TV (if you watch it through your computer). Also includes a DVD player—but doesn't allow screen capping from the DVD.
Fonts
FontGarden
This is one of my favorite places to go do download Free fonts for both Mac and PC. Type is displayed nicely and easily downloaded in stuffed or zipped formats. One huge word of caution: The Pop-up ads can be a killer on this site. Be sure to disable them or the scripts that launch them before you go browsing.

AGFA Type Foundry
Housing over 7,000 fonts for both Mac and PC. You have to pay for them though. No freebies here. It's worth it though.

Adobe
Another pay-for-them place, but Adobe has some of the best type families around. You can buy them in bundles or separately.

Acid Fonts
Free fonts for both Mac and PC and broken down by font style. Also a gateway to links to other free font sites.

MacFonts
This site is basically a table of other places to get free mac fonts. The good thing about it is that it tells you which sites have pop-up ads. To me, besides the many other links it provides, that is key.



Design Software
Adobe
In my opinion, this should be your one and only stop to shop for software to help you do any kind of computer design or illustration work. It has EVERYTHING. Adobe is the maker of Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Pagemaker, Acrobat, and many other useful items.

Quark Express
For anyone doing design layout and composition, Quark is currently the Industry standard for print media. The newest update is getting into helping with web design too.

Macromedia
If you are looking for some great web design and illustration software, this is the place to go. Macromedia makes Dreamweaver, Flash, Shockwave, and Freehand.

Corel
Corel is the maker of Corel Draw and PhotoPaint. Both similar to Photoshop in many respects. Corel, however, seems to be used more on PC's than Macs. Not a bad program at all.

Mike's Sketchpad
This is a huge resource for anyone wanting to learn different applications on both Macs or PCs. There are many tutorials not to mention fonts. Definitely a place worth starting from.

Graphics Unleashed
This site has reviews of all kinds of software for both Mac and PC, plus a Tips and Tricks section complete with tutorials.

Eric's Effects
For lots of Photoshop downloads and Plugins, this is a good place to go.



Icons, Winamp Skins & Desktop Themes
IconFactory
This is the place that gave us the desktop icons from "Revenging Angel." You can find many more there as well as information on how to make your own.

HuntFor
You're going to be seeing HuntFor in several places on this site. They are a great place to start looking for almost anything. In this case we are linking you to cursor and icon editing software.

Theme Archives
A quick tutorial giving the basics for creating your own desktop themes.

Theme World
The help page will guide you in making desktop themes, but the whole site caters to all things desktop--from software recs to fonts, wallpapers, screensavers and more. If you look hard enough, you can even find some Farscape Wallpapers here. And if that's not what you want, perhaps an ALF screensaver is more your liking...

Desktop Links
Pretty much what the name says. A link warehouse to find or make cool stuff for your desktop.

Nullsoft's Winamp
The makers of Winamp have a great site for downloading skins, the software, and music, and if you check out their "Development" section, you'll find out from the horse's mouth how to make them. Definitely the place to start.

Winamp Skins
This site has a ton of skins for you to download, but it also has a tutorial on making them as well. You can also submit skins you have made to this site.

CNet
Cnet has a step-by-step tutorial on making winamp skins as well as a ton of information on software to do the job.

Topdownloads
A similar instruction as others on making wimamp skins only this one has a more detailed chart with details on all the images that make up a winamp skin.

Drawing, Illustration, Painting--Great Places to Start
WannaLearn
This site has links to all kinds of visual arts tutorials and demonstrations as well as book, software, and video reccommendations. A very thorough resource for drawing painting, and computer art.

HuntFor
Another one of those dynamic sites for pretty much everything, HuntFor has several links for tutorials using watercolor, oil painting, drawing, and airbrush techniques. I highly reccommend stopping here for a browse around.

World Wide Learn
An enormous list of on-line art courses and lessons--some paid and some free. Quite a selection to choose from if you want to draw, paint, illustrate, animate, or just get some art appreciation.

Fantasy Art Resource Project
If you've ever wanted to do or been a fan of Fantasy art but didn't know where to begin, this is a great place to go. Different artists write about the techniques they use to create their work and much of it is truly outstanding. Go there and learn!

Art Papa
If you are looking for video instruction, lessons on all different fine art skills, or people to talk to or ask questions about them, then ArtPapa is the place for you.

The Magic of Painting
More great columns by more great artists demonstrating their techniques in painting, watercolor, and drawing.

Sue Dickenson's Art of Africa
Ms. Dickenson has some really beautiful art and she gives a demonstration on how she does it. She captures movement with very little effort. One of the best techniques to use would be the portrait--definitely worth studying.

Sander's Studios
This is a site for the work of Ron Sanders but it also has some great articles as well as tutorials and techniques and definitions. A good basis for oil and watercolor painting.

Lavendera's Fine Art and Gifts
Kind of one-stop shopping if you want to learn how to paint *and* need to pick up a gift. This site has some great painting techniques. Plus it has a painting forum. Kinda cool for a place trying to make a profit!

Art Renewal Center
This is the largest on-line museum of it's kind. Some really really beautiful paintings here. I had to throw it in just because. It does have some articles about techniques and different art movements, but it's mostly just a lovely site. If you like it, you could donate to keep it up and running.

Music Videos How-To's
In another article we will discuss making music videos in detail. For now take note that to be effective in making music videos it helps to be well-versed also in computer lingo (don't be shy). If you are so inclined, here's a link extravaganza to a variety of resources from basics to PC and Mac resources as well as reference/glossary links. This is a giant section, so I skipped the descriptions as some of the headers are self explanatory anyway. --dmadhatter

Multi-artist
Farscape Create
One of my favorite places to recruit from. One of the best fan art galleries around and easy on the eyes... LJ is quite the patron of the arts!

Farscape Fantasy
Short of paying Dallascaper to link to his site, we can't stress enough all the wonderful things you will find at Farscape Fantasy. New art and videos are added regularly.

Kieriahn's Starcharts--Portrait Tiers
Another wonderful place to go find several of your favorite artist's work.

Individual Artists
CoolerCreations
Just in case I haven't pushed this one enough, you really should go see Adam Hastings amazing web site. Take your time to poke around and enjoy all the goodies and polished work he has done. And don't just go once, check back 'cause Adam likes to redo his site.

Tropica's Art
Some pretty funky stuff--plus, she's a big Chiana fan! Check out the wallpapers, anigifs, and a really cool pop art take on Jool.

Lyme's Paranoid Citroid
Lyme has a...well...twisted sense of humor. And we love it! Lots of goodies here--wallpapers, videos (Shadowboxer--A+), and some crazy photoshop stuff (can you say, PimpDaddy Rygel?).

Richard's Farscape Homepage
Check out Richard's nifty animations. There's D'Argo's Qualta Blade and a DRD with all the right sound! I believe with some prodding and a little hope, Richard might get his Pilot animation done sometime...

Poly Karbon
There isn't much Farscape stuff here, but I couldn't resist. Because there is one really cool anime version of Chiana...also a nifty work in permanent progress cast sketch. Oh, and here PK stands for PolyKarbon--don't get confused.
