I decided to try my hand at making a SDXL/Pony merge, going for a semi-realistic checkpoint. Sharing so when I use it people know what I am using, and for the use of any else that likes it.I recommend this VAE: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/296576/sdxl-vae">https://civarchive.com/models/296576/sdxl-vae</a> and ADetailer: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/Bing-su/adetailer">https://github.com/Bing-su/adetailer</a>A Negative Prompt is not necessary; although, they can help correct issues at times. Also, I am not really sure that Pony 'score' prompts have that much of an effect. I do use them at times just in case. I always try to include my prompts on my images, so if there is a look you want to replicate, the info is there.Settings used in examples:VAE: sdxl_vaeSampler: DPM++ 2MSteps: 24+CFG scale: 6.5- 7Size: 832x1216
