Pixxie3 (Pony XL)
This is an independent Pony XL training of the same carefully curated dataset used for my current Illustrious development, trained in parallel rather than converted from another LoRA.
The goal was to see how Pony’s architecture interpreted the character while preserving the same identity and costume design.
In testing, Pony gave Pixxie noticeably more expressive energy and exaggerated personality while maintaining strong costume fidelity, side profiles, and back views. If you’re looking for a version that leans into Pony’s strengths without abandoning character consistency, this is the one I’d recommend.
Recommended weight: 1.0 (tested 0.8–1.2).
Interestingly, using the same dataset, Pony consistently produced a livelier, more exaggerated interpretation of Pixxie than the Illustrious version. That extra energy fits her personality surprisingly well.
Description
My first attempt at SDXL. Pros: Pixxie remains Pixxie across a lot of different models. Cons: in contrast to the Pony and Illustrious versions, costume fidelity and basic design varies wildly by checkpoint.
