Ernst Haeckel illustrations.

Heres some examples of some lovely illustrations of different biological specimens by Ernst Haeckel. He was a biologist and responsible for a number of important theories about evolution (and some pretty dodgy ones too).
You can see some really nice subtle variations on forms and simple shapes that might inspire you thinking about biological bodies.
Heres a link to a huge collection of very large high quality scans of his work at Berlin Natural History Museum.

Haeckel Scans

I'll admit that I'm not sure exactly what creatures that these images are of- but they're certainly organisms.
