Hunter x Hunter is still killing it. I love how this panel of Morena talking about the destruction of mankind has "shoujo bubbles" in the background

The Exotic Animal Photo Reference Repository is live!

You can find it at: https://www.animal-photo-references.com!

Here's how this repository works: all photos were taken by me, a human, at zoos, aquariums, sanctuaries, and other facilities with animals in human care. There is no AI involved in the photo editing or creation and there never will be. Right now there's 56 species on the site; my catalog has over 300 and I will be uploading the rest of them as fast as I can.

Artists creating derivative or transformative works (without AI) have blanket permission to use these references. Yes, even for work you're going to sell.

All other usage/reproduction requires permission, but assume I'm friendly and please do ask! That's educators, researchers, the media, people who need images for a school presentation, etc. This is just to retain copyright/control in case they're scraped/reused unethically - it doesn't meant I don't want folk to have access! So please do reach out via the contact form on the repository website, I don't bite and I'm most likely going to say yes.

Please don't repost the repository photos to your own blogs: I've created @animalphotorefs as a dedicated blog to share photos from the site, and of course I'll reblog a lot of it here! That again just helps with retaining copyright and sourcing of the images. If you really want to repost some for a specific purpose, please just ask me first!

Also, folks, this project has no funding. It's just me and my camera.

There will never be a paywall on the site - I believe resources like this absolutely must be free for everyone to access. So please, please, please support the repository if you use it. Want sneak peeks at photos, cute videos I take, or to help choose what I photograph and what gets posted first? You can do that through Patreon (and there's a free trial on the most interactive tier!) If you'd like to just drop a tip, I've also set up a Ko-Fi.

I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks of the repository.

To whet your thirst for cute photos, here's an Indian rhinoceros contemplating a goose.

autumn Finland comic ♥ I forgot to pack my red ink so just two colours. But there is a lot of yellow leaves here ♥

they can try all they want but AI speed paints/art process videos will never capture the intensely human artistic endeavor of drawing and undoing and redrawing the same simple shape or line 400 times rapidfire in a drawing thats pushing you closer to the edge with every lift of the pen

A cute Brago sketch that I'll probably cut from my WIP comic. I decided that a different pose worked better here. RIP, little guy 💔

The Väki are giants, and much feared and loathed by us humans. When territorial tensions threaten to break out, the Human King sends out an envoy of riches, and two members of his harem, Ilta and Laulu, as gifts for the Väki. Stranded from their kin and home, the two human brides must find a new way of living among the scarred strangers. 'Home by the Rotting See' is the latest comic from modern master Otava Heikkilä. This comic will be released digitally in October as part of ShortBox Comics Fair, an online-only event that will see the release of over 100+ new, original comics from artists around the world!

I gotta say I think it's kind of sad that steven universe was such an evocative and interesting show among it's contemporaries but was left with a very bad reputation based on what's honestly some of the worst analysis of anything i have ever seen

Dedicated to a friend, I made this comic thinking about one of my best friends who love them a lot. Please don't repost this, I will really appreciate it ^^)

Is not like pika doesn't want to go, but I think it might suit him not being clear about it, still he lets leorio walk by his side so it's his way to say yes, indirectly...
