WE HAVE LINKS!!
Okay, yes, we know it took forever. But
after a buttload of time putting it off, we finally decided maybe it
wouldn't be a bad idea to add a few links to places we support, we hang out
at, and we waste time looking at when we should be producing work. We
even decided to offer out our own graphic banners for people to plug us at
their own website.
Shyeah, right!! We see that happening! ^_^
Of course, like every other wing here Gorgon:Art fans, enthusiasts and creators are
encouraged to
suggest links we might have missed. We're not about to be a complete
storehouse of links, but we like all the feedback and suggestions we can
get!
So hit some of these places, and give them
some love for their own awesome sites, please!
WE HAVE BANNERS!!
 
Feel free to choose any of the banners we have here or heck, make up your
own if ours suck (^_^), and link them to either
http://gorgonart.darkeragepress.com (this archive site), or
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GorgonArt/ (the Yahoo Group site)
We're not all that particular! And if you'd like a banner-trade for
your site, contact me at
argoforg@sbcglobal.net and send away... the Links page, as always,
is a work in progress!! |
Click on the appropriate link

ASFR SITES WE VISIT REGULARLY
For the uninitiated, ASFR
stands for Alt.Sex.Fetish.Robots, an acronym that dates back further than I care
to think about. It was the original acronym for the newsgroup(!) that
dealt with inanimation, slow freezes, and the like. As the name suggests,
it originally was set up for robotic activity, and soon after conception was
co-opted by people who liked mannequins, statuary, dolls, inanimate objects,
anime, furries, and eventually, a large collection of idiots with mass-mailing
software and a habit of putting together subject lines that had grammatical
errors, bad misspellings, and far too much punctuation for anyone's good as they
advertised about their porn sites that never once dealt with the fetish whose
group they were mailing to. We often still use ASFR to designate the
inanimation principle, either out of sense of fond memory, general habit, or
just for the ease of spelling it. We're not sure which yet. Anyway,
these sites are the ones dealing with inanimate TFs we hit most often.
The Medusa Realm
It might not have started the petrifactive
revolution, but Panic's site sure as hell did its part in making sure it
didn't die off when it otherwise might have. If you don't check
the messageboard here, you likely just don't know what's up.
Argo sez: "Gotsta give Panic his props.
He's like the rock you build your foundation on. Not literally.
Come on, not EVERYTHING can be statue-innuendo!!" |
|
The Many RealmsTake a
few of the best ASFR sites around and link them in a nice, easy to
navigate hub, and put one of the bar-none best ASFR webmasters and
creative forces in charge, and you might come up with something as good
as Dmuk did here. Might. But we doubt it.
Argo sez: "D never gets enough credit for
what he does here. It's a thankless job, and he does it better
than anyone I know could have. And that yutz Argo's World of
Phantasie crap is here, too."
|
The Medusa
ChroniclesWhere else can
a slew of different writers follow a slew of different plots and add a
slew of different chapters to their own sordid ends? This was the
place that spawned Hub City, the heroines there, and most of the
characters we still pay homage to, as well as a bunch of different (and
some quite talented) authors.
Argo sez: "Fiction is never quite as much
fun as when it's shared with someone, and that's part of what makes the
MC that much fun." |
|
Solid Girl
Flap's great site is always worth a
look-see, and we tend to keep an eye on the graphic BBS and the Media
Database on just about a daily basis to see if anything's new. In
fact, this place spurred Argo to picking up Systran just for
translation.
Argo sez: "Petrified anime girls.
Oh, hell yes, you gotta love this place.
Scuse me while I drool." |
  
Arms? Who needs Arms?
Certainly not Naga, who is the priceless creation of the Sorceress, an
inanimation and transmutation buff who delights in having an upper hand
on her visitors and guests. Naga's art is a shade above brilliant,
and never disappoints the inanimation and furry crowds.
Argo sez: "Besides being one of the
coolest non-armed characters in history, and having art that literally
rocks, how can I not give props to anyone who created an animated gif
for the old HOS site? |
|
The Pygmalion Syndrome
Leem's homesite, home of some classic
storytelling that details transformation for both men and women.
Leem's been kind enough to send us his latest works for reposting here,
and we can't thank him enough.
Argo Sez: "Some people hate the thought
of high 'literature' depicting transformations. Thank the powers
that be that there are places like Leem's PS that live for it."
|
Comic Book Statuary Archive
Based off images obligingly posted to the
Yahoo! Group of the same name, CBS has become the place to go to find
scans of your favorite heroines in inanimated and transmuted splendor.
A great place to go to get your comic heroine fix. (That is, if we
haven't already sated it. ^_^)
Argo sez: "Heroines in tight and
transmutational traps. I'd ask how can you go wrong, but that
would just be redundant."
|
|
The Cobalt Jade Website
Quite possibly one of the most inventive
transformation writers out there, Cobalt Jade's work is well-known
throughout the ASFR community, as well as erotic boards all over the
place. Her additions to the Medusa Chronicles helped set the stage
for the Hub City stories and art you see on the Gorgon:Art website!
Argo sez: "We'd be about 31 flavors of
remiss if we didn't include CJ among our most hit transformational
sites. Her writing is erotic, sensual, and utterly inspiring." |
The Legacy of Timeless Beauty Story Archive
Certainly not least among the links is the
LTBSA, which is another site spearheaded by Dmuk. Four pages chock
full of stories by well over a hundred authors, all covering the gamut
of inanimation and ASFR styles from statuary to mannequins to robots and
dolls and oddities all between. You could stay here for weeks and
not still read everything.
Argo Sez: "What else can you say?
It's the ASFR library, all in one location. If you can't find a
story that tweaks you here, you just need to write your own... because
almost every base is covered at the LTBSA." |

YAHOO! GROUPS
For a long time, ASFR and the
whole transmutative scene online was based solely on the ability to not only
archive and do creativity, but to also be able to hold one's own with a webpage.
The Yahoo! Groups made that a thing of the past, and the whole scene's really
better for it. Now artists can focus on art rather than HTML, writers
don't need to know what a CGI-Bin is, and colorists and manippers don't have to
figure out PHP. There's a trade-off, naturally... Yahoo has bandwidth
restrictions; most groups tend to look like clones of one another, right down to
the same material and sometimes the same long lapses between cleanups; and the
same available color schemes (which are through no fault of anyone often downright dreadful)... but for getting an
archive for ASFR work off the ground, there's probably nothing better.
(From what we've seen, the MSN and Lycos groups certainly aren't that high-end,
either) To see the good stuff on any of these ASFR group sites,
you'll need to become a member. But isn't that worth it?
(We'll likely do more detail work on these
sites, as we did on the sites above, as time permits.)
3D ART SITES AND
SHOPS
These places I haven't
plugged nearly as much as I should have, but these are places that have helped
us out by their members contributing freestuff, poser items for sale, tips,
tutorials, and just generally friendly manners, none of them likely ever
realizing the sordid manner in which I would be using and corrupting what I
bought and borrowed from them to turn poor hapless victims into garden statuary.
(So does that make me evil or just very driven?) These are all the types
of places where you can find tools to enhance your 3D and 2D pictures, as well
as tips on how best to use your software. Some of them require user ID's
to be created to access the good stuff, others are just personal sites.
All of them are worth looking at though. Check em out.
(We'll likely do more detail
work on these sites, as we did on the sites above, as time permits.)
OTHER PLACES OF
RAMPANT CREATIVITY
Places that we like, places that
like us, places that don't know about us but that we spend far too much time
at... all of them are here. These sites tend to run the gamut from online
comics to just places to hang out, to sites of friends of G:A and contributors.
The personal and creative sites here deserve some serious props for their hard
work and devotion, so give them a quick gander, and feel free to tell them we
sent you.
THE
WOTCHThe online ongoing
brainchild webcomic of Anne and Robin (who have kindly offered
contributions to the G:A fold now!), The Wotch is an often
laugh-out-loud fun and adventurous read that deals with magic,
weirdness, witchy... er, wotchy... powers, and more transformations than
you can shake a stick at.
Argo sez: "Why are you still here?
Go. Read. Oh, and take an
oxygen mask to help with those cracking up fits you'll get." |
|
CHUGWORTH ACADEMYIt's
amazingly drawn. It's biting and sarcastic. It's sexsay.
And it's funny as all hell. If you're not prone to being turned
off by sexual references, cursing, and the occasional poking fun
at celebrities, all we can say is hit Dave and Jay's Chugworth site
and REPRESENT, yo.
Argo sez: "Sorry. Sally, Ellice and
Chloe should be just all sorts of illegal.
Actually, they probably are. If I had this sort of ability, I
wouldn't ever leave
the house." |
ARQ ANGELOne of the most
inventively-interfaced online comics around. Don't go here if you
don't have a speedy modem, but if you do, prepare to lose yourself in a
3D comic that'll blow your mind.
Argo sez: "This is one of the many
places that showed me what 3D comics was capable of... and for that,
I'll always be grateful." |
|
HAT CHECK KELLYJJE has
turned 3D comics into bona fide literature at HCK. The writing,
art and depth of story are all top-notch. This is another comic
that started us on the road to doing 3D work in comic format. We
don't know whether to thank those who did, or just loudly spout
invective at them.
Argo sez: "If you haven't read the work
here yet, you damned well should. Great stuff." |
DC COMICSYeah, Marvel's
got the X-Men and Spider-Man... But nine times out of ten, DC is
where you'll find the writers. So read Marvel to watch movies
being made. Read DC to actually enjoy the experience.
Argo sez: "I've always been a DC guy.
With the exception of the Grey Gargoyle, what did Marvel have, anyway?" |
|
ESPN.COMEven hardcore
artists and writers need to keep up on the sports scene. And where
else are you going to do it but the Worldwide Leader of Sports?
Argo sez: "I'm here once a week, at
least. More during football season and the playoffs. Sad but
true, I'm afraid to... heyyyy, what's this about Peyton Manning?" |
WIZARD UNIVERSEWhat's
coming up in comics? What's the buzz? What's hot, what
sucks? Wizard magazine will tell you. And they're not shy
about it.
Argo sez: "Wizard is still my personal
choice for comics news, even more than CBG. They tend to tell it
like it is, and they don't usually suck up to John Byrne." |
|
THE ONIONAmerica's
Finest News Source. Once ran stories about Jesus returning to the
NBA, and a Study that reported that Babies were Stupid. Enough
said... definitely not for the faint of heart or the
profane-humor-stunted.
Argo sez: I think it was a lot funnier
before a lot of the archives became pay-only, but it's still a hoot to
take time out to read." |
FANFICTION.NET
If you like creative works starring
characters from tv shows, movies, comics, and books, this is the place
to look. It's got a review and upload system that I wish we could
cadge for around here, and it's got an awful lot of really good
creators.
Argo sez: "I actually had a work there
that received good reviews. That same work made its way to the
LTBSA and has flown under the radar ever since. Man, I need to get
that PHP code." |
|
HERO REALMOnline comics.
Print Quality. A lot of freebies. Worth a looksee.
Argo sez: "..." (What! I
don't hit this one all that often to know how good it is!)
