About Refimages

Refimages is a reference-image studio for artists, founded by Mels Mneyan. We ship 450+ pose, anatomy, fantasy, and gesture packs, shot specifically for working illustrators, concept artists, and animators.

Every pack is curated for sustained study: deliberate lighting, varied angles, and resolutions that survive 300% zoom. Browse the catalog.

The studio exists because most reference available to artists is incidental — photographs taken for some other purpose that happen to contain a figure. That leaves you fighting the source material: the light is wrong, the crop cuts the hands, there is exactly one angle and it is not the one you need. Reference shot deliberately for drawing solves a different problem than reference borrowed from stock photography.

So each set is planned around what an artist actually does with it. Poses are held and shot from multiple angles so a figure can be rotated in your head. Lighting is chosen to describe form rather than to flatter. Resolution is high enough that zooming into a shoulder or a hand still shows anatomy instead of compression artefacts.

Packs are one-time purchases with a personal and commercial licence included, so studies and finished work drawn from them are yours to publish or sell. See pricing, or redeem a pack you bought on another storefront.
