My very first original character took a long winding road from her origins as a cheerleader as I learned about stable diffusion until now. A work in progress as we all are. The enigmatic right hand of Solaris. Respected and revered by allies and adversaries, fierce in battle, intensely loyal to her chosen pack. The moon to Solaris’ sun and to Pixxie’s sun in a different sense.

Much more to come with her, her teammates and the world they inhabit.

Trained in parallel with illustrious and SDXL versions. I was surprised that Pony was best of the three. The primary issues are 1. being generated without pants (frequency of about 10%) which is easily addressed with adding “wearing matching blue pants” (100% success rare) or increasing strength of LoRA to 1.2 (hit or miss and can introduce artifacts of twinning), 2. Twin Auroras, infrequent (5-10%) and easily fixed by adding “solo” (which is just good practice to include but I get lazy- so if you’re lazy in the way I am and see double its an easy fix), 3. Blurry face- more likely to occur in profile and wide shots. No easy fix beyond regenerating and/or changing to a closer and or less side view shot).

There will be a second version. A less eclectic data set (it ranged from hyperreal to semirealistic) and more up close shots will improve it. In any event I’m pleased to present Aurora.
