Contains both model images and pictures from the comics.

Merc Teeth Reference by Engiess/Daisy-Butler-Deactivated2015072

Unfortunately, OP is deactivated, which means this link leads to my blog's version of the post ATM. It is. Exactly what it sounds like.

Loadout.TF

Allows you to try loadouts in-browser. Most people already know of this site. But I keep forgetting what it's called.

Unfolded Merc Faces + Skintone Palettes

Pretty good as a baseline, since these aren't heavily influenced by lighting.

Non-Specific Resources

Clothing Reference by Laurzaboonart

Hand-drawn examples of folds, joins, etc. on pieces of clothing.

Clothing and Folds by JuliaJM15

As above, although with a few more mechanical-type examples.

Examples of how to draw stylised black hairstyles. OP's blog is archived, but not deactivated as of linking this.

Studied and Simplified Hands by Arthur Blavier/thevipersnake

Examples of hand studies, and simplified versions.

ReferenceAngle.com

A website with lots of references for human heads/faces at varying angles. Including the ones that suck ass to draw.

Flower Language Spreadsheet, compiled by me

I've written all of this on the document, but I'll write it again:
Most of this is taken from Kate Greenaway's Language of Flowers from way back in the late 19th century. Floriography is notoriously imprecise, since it was essentially meant to be a secret code in the same way a secret code printed in a kid's spy novel is secret. I've basically just gone through, deleted any entries with no known equivalents in the modern day (or entries that were flat out mistakes), and added a few extra bits of information.
If you want to keep the spreadsheet, I'd recommend copying it/downloading it onto a desktop/app version of a spreadsheet program, because Google Sheets sucks so hard. Especially on iPad. Blech.
If you want to just view Kate Greenaway's version with all its pretty pictures, the Internet Archive has a scan of it here. Reading off the book makes for a more pleasant experience than the spreadsheet - the latter's more suited to quickly searching meanings or comparing similar flowers.

Literary Devices Spreadsheet, compiled by me

I'm not entirely sure what this is useful for, except for high school English exams, but it doesn't hurt to put it down here, I guess.
