1 deviantart: one of the best go-to sites for artistic inspiration no matter what genre. I've visited this site for free .psd downloads: brushes, masks, tubes, etc. A great collection of talent across the globe.
2 google art communities: not only a great place to view artists' collections (or showcase your own work), it is categorized by medium. Also, many moderators require copyrighted material be cited. I've been inspired by and have met many like-minded photographers here.
3 behance: a wonderful, collective place to showcase your portfolio or browse those of other artists. I believe you can also commission artists for works; a good option for web developers looking for original content.
4 steampunk gallery: this is a simple website concept, organized well by category. For steampunk lovers, it is a good place to look for unusual pieces and art. There's a note which says the material on the site is from open sources but not to download to your computer. This site also showcases the same type of stuff, but is meant more as a "bookmarking" site to store content. All the same, both sites are a great go-to place to familiarize yourself with what is current or trendy in the steampunk world.
5 Inkscape: a professional vector graphics editor for Windows/Mac/Linux. It's free and open source. Artists and web designers alike can benefit from this awesome design tool. I may be using it for upcoming assignments. Vector images always look amazing and are so much easier to size for publishing.
