Frequently Asked Questions
Dynamic Muse is an archive of gesture reference photography for artists. Just like any other subscriptions, with our various modest pricing plans, you get access to all reference materials.
In our archive, you will have access to plenty of meaningful and high-quality images. You may choose from either rotational poses or single view gestures. Rotations are one pose that our model repeats 8-12 times so that 3D artists can use these beautiful and dynamic poses for sculpture reference. Gestures focus on harder light, anatomy reference, and gestures that might be preferred by illustrators, painters or artists working in quick sketches.
Here, we celebrate inclusivity. We highlight professional dancers as models to create a diverse selection of poses bringing their own flavor authentic to their body type. In addition, we also include traditional models and stage performers for a wide range of expressive gestures.
Many of our models work for companies with a certain position and the protection of their public image is vital to their contracts. We decided it is best across the board to give our models some coverage and primarily focus on the dynamic poses as our special gift to artists.
Indeed! We made sure to provide a user-friendly experience for our artists, as the Dynamic Muse offers inclusivity for starters or professionals.
Dynamic Muse focuses on providing an archive of true human proportions which only nature can uniquely and organically provide, unlike some of the animated model sites out there. Our dancers create poses that are suspended in motion (and for rotations, repeated up to 12 times) compared to many figure reference sites which are focused on resting poses that you would normally see. Our pool of art models is also diverse, which has a lot of background in theater performance. If you are looking for something with a lot of action, we are a great site to explore.
Absolutely! If possible, we would love for you to share your work with us on Instagram so we can celebrate with you and share with our audience.
