Okie Dokie folks. In sculpture I am working on creation faces/busts. I decided it would be could to create fantasy creatures instead of/with boring humans. Now I know that the PHB has a few illustrations in it for the skull structure of some of the races. Are there any other books that provide such examples? Either skeletal structure or musculature?

Draconomicon has stuff for dragons. I'm sure you could find similar art elsewhere online, though.

Oh yeah. I forgot about that one. Anything else? particularly humanoid races?

I did a bit of a search, and here's what I've come up with:

Lords of Madness has the internal structure of a couple of monsters, though not any humanoids; don't think they included any for Mindflayers.

Any race that you think someone might let me turn them into. I plan on using actual people for the base model and then modifying it slightly to fit the new race. Like today, I saw a girl that struck me as having a very halfling face. It's almos tlike halfing have a 1/4 elf slant to their face and very sloping features.
