For some homebrew of mine I'm trying to find a better picture than one I have.
Looking for one of like an old timey doctor/healer dissecting some monster or demon. Or perhaps a naturalistic type etching of such a creature, da Vinci style.
Maybe something alike to this:

This guy (http://pousazpower.deviantart.com/gallery/#Gossipiboma) has some fantastical naturalism-type stuff. I'll keep looking, though.

That's pretty cool.
Here's what I'm using currently (http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs32/i/2008/204/2/d/Green_Fairy_and_the_Sorcerer_by_Sebasket.jpg).
I'd use it, but looking for something a little creepier. Something in a jar/bottle is fine to.
I image searched mad science and ended up with a house cat water skiing.
I might look again later, but for now I'm pretty sure I need to give up.

Would this (http://pds8.egloos.com/pds/200807/18/09/c0080309_4880aa2154268.jpg) picture be any use to you?

If he's decided to torture and vivisect Navi, I'm all for it.
If it's not cheat-ey, you could always use the voynich manuscript for generic unusual flora/fauna in a old fashioned naturist style.
This (http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&global=1&q=voynich#/du4cou) could pass for a fairy or gnome skeleton/circulatory drawing. I may dig up some mores later.
Edit: Here's (http://browse.deviantart.com/traditional/?q=anatomical&order=9&offset=48#/d1ykpe0) some (http://browse.deviantart.com/traditional/?qh=§ion=&q=dragon+anatomy#/dvtyw4) other (http://browse.deviantart.com/traditional/?qh=§ion=&q=griffin+anatomy#/dtpitw) stuff. (http://browse.deviantart.com/traditional/?qh=§ion=&q=pegasus+anatomy#/d5hyxo)
You owe me for all the images of hideously malformed penises I had to wade through to get some actual anatomical studies as opposed to people with a camera and a bizarre fixation.
