Reference that moves, so your faces come alive.
Still photos freeze the one thing a portrait artist most needs to see — the motion. Dorian gives you short, looping living-portrait references: pick a synthetic face, tap the head and face movements you want, and watch it happen. No prompts, no camera, no booking a model.
No card needed · start free, go Premium anytime
How to use it
Three taps, a few seconds — no prompt to write, nothing to set up. Here's the actual studio.
Choose a dorian
Pick a synthetic face — man, woman or nonbinary, across a range of ages. Each dorian is a fixed character you can come back to study again.
Tap the movements
Look left, nod, smile, open the mouth — tap what you want. Dorian queues them up and plays them back-to-back, seamlessly; flip on Loop and the whole sequence cycles on repeat while you draw.
Set the look & draw
A short living portrait of that face, looping on the big stage and ready to draw or paint from. Set the lighting and speed to match your study.
A face for every study
Men, women and nonbinary faces across a range of ages and tones — pick the dorian your study needs.
Every dorian is an AI-generated synthetic face — not a real person.

A reference tool for artists
Dorian is for artists, illustrators and animators who need to study how a face moves. It makes face and head-movement references only, from a fixed library of synthetic faces. Every face is AI-generated — it is not a photograph of a real person, and Dorian is not a tool for impersonating anyone or for bypassing or defeating identity, liveness or face-verification systems. Anything you ever capture is processed in memory and never written to disk; only the synthetic references are kept. Read our privacy promise →
