3D IQDB (Slight NSFW!)
https://3d.iqdb.org
3d.iqdb is like an iqdb search, but specifically for "3d" or real life people, so to speak
iqdb actually has another useful function, it's the 3d version, meaning real life models or cosplay and much more!
It uses the same technology as iqdb.org, which gives post that have tags especially the artist themselves.
