Some cool links that I have that might be helpful, but might not.
-Screentones and the like, if you're into that kind of shit: http://psychobob.xepher.net/screentonez/
-Quite possibly the best site I've found for super high-res textures (mainly grunge): http://lostandtaken.com/
-A nice tool for coming up with color schemes: http://colorschemedesigner.com/
...and that's all I've got (that you didn't already have).

There are 24 other art/anatomy books on that site as well but their quality is unknown. All of them appear and probably read like old college text books.
"upon the glafs, with a black lead pencil, as if the pencil touched the object itfelf; he would then have a true reprefentation of the object in peripective, as it appears to his eye..."

...with hourglass figures
...and fantastic tits.
Whoop whoop!
it tends to sit in between Gimp and Photoshop
