This is excellent 🙏
I have to add iNaturalist.org as a super handy community-led repository for real photos of any plant/animal/fungus you can imagine (and then some.)
You’ll want to check permissions for use, but it’s been a great resource for inspiration & studies!

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.
Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Can’t stop thinking about & doodling a Howl’s Moving Castle x DanDaDan crosover. Momo’s Moving Castle, obviously #dandadan

(spoiler: it’s me. I’m the one who needed to hear this.)
and not only that… it makes drawing the poses easier and more fun?!?!?!?
idk who needs to hear this. but did you know. that using reference images… really DOES make your poses look better
I am so sorry but my first thought has been that he kind of looks like an IUD.
Haha I thought about that too while making this - I’m glad it came across 😆
