I have an ongoing webcomic in which I use muses as fashion inspiration for my characters. I'm currently looking for new muses for two of my characters!

Here's how it works: When I pick a muse, I draw upon their fashion style as clothing inspiration for my characters. Therefore, in any given "scene" in the webcomic, I dress the characters in outfits that their corresponding muse has modeled. I also showcase each muse in the "Muses" section of my website with a photo and a bio, as well as promote them on Facebook. In exchange, the muses are allowed to use any webcomic content featuring their fashions on their personal sites, social networks, blogs, etc. In a sense, we promote each other!

Webcomic synopsis: And to Be Loved is a webcomic about unrequited love, unhealthy obsessions, fashion, peer pressure, and apathy. So, in a nutshell, h*psters with too much time on their hands.

I'm currently looking for a new muse for the characters Claire and Thomas (the role of R is already filled). Please note: the physical appearances of the characters have already been designed. Therefore, you do not need to necessarily resemble the character you're trying out for in order to apply. Only your style and fashion will be taken into consideration (not your hair, skin shade, features, etc). All are welcome!

If you would like to try out for a muse position:

-Visit andtobeloved.com to get a feel for the characters, tone, and the fashion styles. Please also take a look at the "Muses" page to see how it works. andtobeloved.com/muses.

-Email me at aurynpublishing@yahoo.com with:

1. Photos of yourself that you feel best reflect the character that you're trying out for. Claire, for instance, has a hippie/bohemian/vintage style, so if you would like to muse for her, please don't send photos of yourself in, say, urban streetwear! (I would prefer links to the photos, but feel free to attach them to the email if you need to).

2. Links to your fashion profiles (Lookbook, Chictopia, Model Mayhem, etc.) and/or personal blogs/sites that reflect your style.

I'll be posting in various fashion sites and forums to find the best fit. I would like to find my new muses within the next couple of weeks, so if you're interested in one of the muse roles please reply quickly. Have fun with it! :)
