v2

So I practically redid the data set used to make this checkpoint, and I think there is a big improvement in appearence and consistancy of style.

Usage Tips

I personally think the checkpoint works best at a CFG of about 4.5, but honestly it can be used anywhere between 3-7

You can make the style a bit stronger if you add "p0ny-style" somewhere in the prompt

I have tried to make improvements to the backgrounds, but as Pony does have a tendacy to make backgrounds somewhat foggy, while I have tried to minimize this, if you add "hazy background" to the negative prompts, this does help

v1

While Illustrious is better than Pony, I still feel like Pony has better aesthetics as standard. This is my attempt to add a bit of the Pony style, backgrounds and deep colored shading to Illustrious.

It is an early release, and I will likely update this once I have improved it further. While this isn`t my first attempt to make my own checkpoint, it is the first I have released, so any feedback is welcomed.

I would advise against using too many negative prompts, as this can sometimes have a bit of a negative impact on the style. Again, this is something I am looking to fix. The checkpoint is not perfect but hopefully I can continue to improve upon it.

Sampler: Euler A Karras

Steps: 30-40

CFG: 3-5

I have found with further testing that a lower CFG produces a more stable style. Until I get around to updating the model, this is the best option.
