ℹ️ Babes Ebony Ashe 1.0 Pony - This model is based on <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/2220?modelVersionId=1827609">Babes 1.2p10 Pony</a>, trained on around 4,000 images. It was created to produce more authentic and compelling black women, but also includes images of black male bodybuilders. The training data combines synthetic images with photography.By default, the model prefers to generate black skin tones, though it may produce other complexions depending on the prompt and its context. To ensure the intended results, you can use trigger words like “dark skin” for consistency.Some hand gestures may have improved as a result of this training: hand on chest, hand on waist, hand palm open, hand v sign, hand pointing up, and hand thumb up. These gestures are still not perfect, but they show noticeable improvement, in my opinion.I hope people will enjoy this new checkpoint. It took me a little longer than usual to make, due to the dataset creation and a couple of training rounds.

</li></ol><h2 id="why-i-created-my-own-access-control">Why I Created My Own Access Control</h2>I have been a creator on Civitai since December 2022. My goal has always been to help make model training, design, and development a sustainable, professional activity, not only for myself, but for other creators too. Supporting people who want to create models professionally is good for users, for creators, for the entire community, including Civitai itself.
Civitai has shared some of this vision and has tried to create ways to support creators. Unfortunately, their current Creators Program has serious problems:
<ul><li>Civitai was deplatformed by payment processors and operates at a loss.
</li><li>The current compensation model pays creators mainly for model usage in the generator.
</li><li>Early Access limits paid access to only 15 days, after which models must be free.
</li><li>Buzz extraction value has dropped to ~45% of its original worth, making withdrawals basically a 55% fee.
</li><li>Bugs and creator feedback are ignored for months, and several team members who used to listen have left.
</li></ul>I believe this system is unfair, harmful, and exploitative. Creators should be able to:
<ul><li>Sell models without arbitrary time limits.
</li><li>Pay a fair platform fee of 15% or less.
</li></ul>Civitai briefly tested a much better system called Clubs in early 2024, which worked well for creators, but it was canceled after backlash from a loud minority that opposed fair creator compensation. I have long hoped Civitai would fix these issues, as I’ve suggested in my articles:

</li></ul>But nothing has changed. Bugs remain unresolved, feedback is ignored, and I’ve lost optimism about Civitai’s willingness to improve.
That’s why I’ve decided to experiment with my own alternative access control system, a fairer way to share models with users who value my work.
