Hello, i have been looking around and can't seem to find good fantasy or sci-fi references around. If anyone has some good websites OR books\comics they have used i would highly appreciate it if you could share them? Thanks in advance.

Fantasy reference would probably start with researching various types of armor, weapons, buildings, clothing etc. Sci-Fi reference should probably start by researching anything modern and tech driven. Both are pretty wide open to take influences from just about anywhere else in between. A web image search on any of a HUGE number of topics should give you some reference to start drawing ideas and details from.

If you meant sci-fi or fantasy art that has already done all the research, that isn't reference, it's inspiration. It may be very cool, but you shouldn't base YOUR work on THEIR work. Besides, really, if you can't find sci-fi and fantasy art on the internet you aren't trying.
