If you’ve seen me at conventions, you know I offer commissions in the form of portraits of people in their cosplay. For A-kon, however, I won’t be able to seat people for their portraits - and because of this, I’ll be doing them slightly differently. Which means I need new examples!
If you’d like a drawing of yourself in your favorite cosplay, reblog this post with a link to a photo (bust/portrait shots preferred), or email the photo to me at [email protected] . Couple cosplays are welcome! I’ll pick 3-5 of the submissions, and draw them for use as examples at my table. I can’t send you the original, but I’ll post them here for you to see.
I want to interact and meet more furries so! I’m making this ^ ^ I’ll try to draw everyone! If this is successful I’ll do it again with different ocs
If you participate you will get a drawing of your character with mine
Rules :
-choose which sona of mine you’d like to interact with

Meet my ocs! All of them are around 22/27 years old
1. Sheen (any pronoun) / 1.63 cm / wolfrat that loves gemstones and coffee. Can shrink to an actual rat size or grow buff like a typical scary werewolf. They’ll love to hear you talk about your interests for hours while they pat you
2. Capsunica - (he/him) / 1.65 cm / trans jaglion who is a big himbo. Works out all morning and then naps all afternoon. Napping with him will probably boost our stats, because his fur is the softest.
3. Aoi (she/her) / 1.72 cm / Catgirl that works as a hero. She’s loving and will tease you all day. Makes jokes 24/7 (mostly cat puns) and is extremely flexible and athletic. Headpats are a Yes, but don’t touch her tail if you don’t wanna get bitten!

Limited use, if you’re doing a Science and need control panels/rockets/futuristic an image search with qualifier site: nasa.gov You have to double-check a photo’s caption it’s really a NASA photo, but photos which were taken by NASA spacecraft and astronauts are public domain, since they’re funded by taxpayer dollars. (This also goes for images of animals archived at the USFWS Digital Library, i.e the US Fish and Wildlife Service, or rocks and landscapes on USGSwebsites.
Okay updating and consolidating lots of info here; as well as adding links for ease of access. Adding a brief description for some too; as is the case that not all of them have descriptions above. (Warning that some of these links contain nude refs, I will try to mark where possible which ones have more prominent ones.)
Posing Sites and Apps:
Adorkastock. Stock photos for pose refs. DeviantArt gallery started in 2007.
FreePhotoMuscle.com. (translated page link click here) Japanese stock photo pose site that includes buff people, but in funny poses and costumes.
CroquoisCafe. (NSFW, nude model poses warning) A stock photo pose site. You should be aware this org has been linked as pro-Trump. I leave it to y’all to decide if you want to use the resources or not. I highly encourage not financially supporting them and trying to support the individual models if you can.
Line of Action. Fantastic site that includes posing refs, community discussions from other artists, figure study, anatomy, etc. So much stuff in here.
PoseSpace. Extensive library of poses. Some free resources others are paid. I’ve not fully evaluated both, but you should be able to use this all mostly free and get great use out of it.
SketchDaily. This one is one of the better ones out there. You can time yourself, search by pose, clothing options, body type, perspective, etc. All real models.
JustSketch.me. A pose app for any device. Has apps for most devices and a webapp. Customize and pose models/props/scenes.
Quickposes. Pose site that gives you timed challenges to become more proficient at poses.
POSEMANIACS. Ref site with anatomical poses. All the ref pics are of 3D models with only the bones and muscles. Can be helpful for seeing how muscles behave in certain poses. limited to two body types tho.
MagicPoser. A wonderful app that’s great on mobile. Lets you choose size of models, number of them, style, etc. Significant features are use of snap point with the physics engine, adjustable lighting, multiple perspective, 360 angle, articulated hand posing.
Clip Studio Paint Modeler. Free 3d tool that works with Clip Studio Paint. You can import your own data or other models you find online. Not quite an alternative to Blender, but the integration with CSP is very nice.
Egg a Zyoutatsu Atarichan Drawer. (requires enabling flash player or downloading and using standalone flashplayer) Drawing tool for pose practice. The developer is working on an html5 version.
DesignDoll. One of the best pose tool apps out there. You can customize so many things. They also have an extensive collection of ready made poses here. You can use the free or pay once for life and have the poses integrated into the client as well as the ability to export your obj to other programs like blender or smt.
freeimages.com. Another stock photo site, less features than some others.
StockSnap.io. Stock photos with a creative commons CC0 license, which essentially means you can use the photos however you want and don’t have to attribute to them. (though its nice if you do attribute)
Burst.Shopify. Tons of royalty free high quality images. Similar licensing to StockSnap.
pixabay. I feel like most people know about this one, but it features entirely free CC0 licensed Photos, Videos, and Music. No attribution required, but still nice to support a giant site with all this content.
Viintage. Big collection of public domain vintage photos.
Gratisography. For commercial or personal use. They specialize in odd, quirky, wild stock photos.
pexels. Great free stock photos and videos. Only a few stipulations of what they don’t allow, but their license info can be found here.
Faestock. An artist and model with a huge amount of fantasy and fae and other types of photos available. Their terms for use are here.
MorgueFile. Old stock photo archive that’s been around a long time.
This article from Apollo magazine has an extensive list of open access museums and institutions from around the world. A brief list of places includes:
Curated Public Domain Free Art Black is Beautiful Collection
The collection includes paintings, sketches, illustrations, drawings, and more links at the bottom of Kadie Pangburn’s post. These are high resolution files that you can print out.
“Please be aware that several of the images in this gallery are NOT in the public domain, however the museum has graciously provided high resolution digital downloads of the files for PERSONAL USE ONLY.”
From Kadie Pangburn:
“Of the underrepresented POC individuals, Black individuals have consistently been ignored as subjects, white-washed, misrepresented, or vilified by the white european controlled art world. With Black women in particular being one of the most underrepresented figures in western art history.
With this in mind, over the past year, I’ve been working to curate a gallery of free, high resolution public domain artwork that represents Black individuals with dignity and respect. It is my hope to keep growing this collection over time as I discover additional pieces of work.
If you are interested in learning more about this collection, the representation of Black bodies in Western Art and why I chose to alter the titles of several of these works, please be sure and read the collection notes at the bottom of this post.”
