I love this question! It very much depends on your personal vibe, but here's a list of every collection designated as open to get you started:

Folger Shakespeare Library

Images from the History of Medicine

Museum of New Zealand - Te Papa Tongarewa

Video: 3D images of over 13,000 museum specimens now free to everyone

The completion of the openVertebrate (oVert) project is a significant milestone for natural history museums, as well as researchers, educato

"The completion of the openVertebrate (oVert) project is a significant milestone for natural history museums, as well as researchers, educators, students, and the public. The digital library is the first to offer free access to incredibly detailed – and, frankly, beautiful – 3D images of over 13,000 vertebrates.

More than a research project, oVert was a collaboration between like-minded specialists across 25 institutions whose sole objective was to add value to museum collections by making them more widely available.

....

For a working example of the incredible detail and information contained in oVert’s images, head to Sketchfab to view a sample of interactive 3D models like the olive sea snake. Or go to MorphoSource to access the full oVert repository.

....

But scientists aren’t the only ones who have benefitted from oVert. Artists have used its 3D models to create realistic animal replicas, photos of oVert specimens have been displayed as museum exhibits, and specimens have been incorporated into VR headsets so users can interact with them. There appears to be no end to oVert’s uses."

ok so i've been following your art for a bit now (which, by the way, it is amazing, i especially love your pen/pencil and ink) and i've noticed you always post who/what you used for a drawing reference with it and i'm wondering . . . do you have/could you post a list of places to go for good art references? maybe i'm looking in the wrong places but they are hard to find.

heyo!! sorry for taking so long to get to this ask, it's midterm season </3 here's a list (in no particular order) of my favorite drawing reference creators:

live people models:

@adorkastock

@jookpubstock

@null-entity

@nyxnaiastock

@blumineck (I Eagerly Await the drop of his archery reference packs)

drawn or 3D models:

@kingcholerarefs

@grey-fuckers-unlimited

@posemuse

all these creators are present on tumblr (duh lmao bc I linked to their blogs), but they also have links to their own deviantart accs / patreon pages / ko-fi pages / indie sites / etc. on their accs, and I would definitely recommend checking those out as well!!
