v2So 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 TipsI personally think the checkpoint works best at a CFG of about 4.5, but honestly it can be used anywhere between 3-7You can make the style a bit stronger if you add "p0ny-style" somewhere in the promptI 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 helpv1While 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 KarrasSteps: 30-40CFG: 3-5I 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.All sample images are using no loras or artist stylesAny Buzz donations are very welcome!
