I have been looking around for good creative commons reference images of the human body. ultimately i just want, front, back and side shots of a male and female. one would have thought this would be quite easy, but it appears no such thing exists.

One would think it would be right up Wikimedia's alley, however this is as close as Wikimedia gets:

I have plenty of internal anatomy imagery

and there is a  commercial site that caters to just this sort of thing:

however it is not free and its images can not be used under an open source licence. 

So as far as I can tell, us open source artists are a bit snookered in terms of even the most basic reference material.

There are various drawing references, that show comic human outlines and proportions, however they aren't realistic, and certainly couldn't be used as textures:

Am I going to have to take naked photos of my friends?  Surely some university somewhere has done this already?
