    🌈Read Me Please on How to Use 🦄

    Pony FaeTality is a versatile Pony Model that has a natural 2.5D look but can also do many other styles without having to utilize style LoRAs. 🥰

    Version 1.1 Update (Chat GPT Captioned)

    I made a small update focused on improving the lighting, I trained a lora on 120 images that were specifically captioned with GPT-4 to test how well GPT handles captions. Although the improvements in lighting aren't dramatically significant, there is a slight enhancement. I'll have to experiment again (whenever I have time 😿) using a much larger dataset to see more substantial results probably. 🦄

    Using descriptions like this helps a lot with the effect: bright colors, high contrast, dark background, vivid lighting

    Example of an image in the GPT-4 dataset along with the caption given

    heart-shaped candle, vibrant melting wax, dynamic splashes, candle flame, bright colors, high contrast, dark background, vivid lighting, celebration, romance, abstract, love concept, glowing effect, sparkling particles, multicolored drips, wax flow, illuminated, artistic, creative photography, energy, melting in motion, high resolution, centerpiece, decorative, festive mood

    Tips and Tricks

    • Always use score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, score_6_up, score_5_up, score_4_up

    • Use Clip Skip 2

    • This model was trained using both blip and WD captions and tags. Utilize danbooru tags when prompting.

    • Certain keywords will have a bigger effect on the outputs, they are: realistic, freckles, large lips, beautiful eyes

    • When prompting less is better I've found, don't go crazy adding a bunch of descriptions

    • Go easy on the negatives, 3D in the negatives has one of the biggest effects, and this will tone down the trained style a lot if you don't like the look. If you're going to use negatives make sure they're targeted ones.

    • Because it's a Pony base, you can utilize the data selection tags of: 'source_pony', 'source_furry', 'source_cartoon' and 'source_anime' and ratings of 'rating_safe', 'rating_questionable' and 'rating_explicit'.

    • Recommended aspect ratios of 1024x1024, 832x1216, 1216x832

    What I'm Good At

    • 2.5D People, Animals, Furries

    • Adds pretty details and backgrounds a lot of the time naturally

    • NSFW

    • Cute Things

    What I'm Bad At

    • Non-NSFW Complex Scenes or Objects

    • Sometimes I make people have giraffe necks, you can fix this by adding 'long neck' in the negatives. 🦒

    • Photorealism

    • Sometimes I like to make random things into animals 🤷‍♀️

    How I Was Made

    I started this project over a month ago by trying to finetune Faetastic SDXL to have a more 2.5D style. The entirety of the dataset is generated images. 95% of the images were my generated images of a prompt style that gave an awesome 2.5D look with FaeTasticSDXL...and I wanted a checkpoint that always had that style.

    One of my images from the dataset

    I was successful and the finetune is really great, but I decided I wanted it to be good at NSFW, which turned out to be pretty difficult and I had some pretty hilarious outputs.

    Around this time Pony started to get really popular, because I'm busy so much with Civitai I just decided to take a shortcut and swap to Pony as the base model to achieve my goals.

    So I finetuned then trained 4 different LoRAs and smashed those babies in. LoRAs were to nail down the style more + I also added my FaeTastic Details dataset into them, which seems to have given it that detailed cute vibe that I enjoy.

    What I'm Going to Try to Improve (When I Can 😅)

    • Better Darkness/Shadows

    • Try to get rid of oddities

    • A better understanding of "normal things"

    1.1 New version, super excited! This model rocks my socks! Many thanks!! Edit, sadly I cannot use 1.1, its much harder to get characters to "connect" or be in the same scene. :( Not sure what broke, but 1.0 still rocks! Hopefully can fix it.

    Versatile is a poor description of this model as it seems highly incapable of portraying male actors. This can be seen in some example images below with female faces pasted onto otherwise male bodies. Female bias is so strong in the model that I tried with man in pos tags and female in neg tags and got 100% babes in response. Not recommended unless you are not wanting to generate any male actors.

    Personally, I rarely if ever prompt for male characters and I also don't prompt for porn. I use this model for making graphics or cute animals...it's just built on pony so in the gallery porn is what everyone seems to use it for. Additionally, it can do many styles...

    However, I see numerous images of male characters in the gallery, some images with several. They don't look female to me, maybe check out how those creators are prompting if you're having issues.

    ZootAllures9111Apr 27, 2024

    @jennibear Try 1boy instead of male.

    3974979Apr 27, 2024

    I have problems getting males when I do not want them, LOL. Play with your prompting for a bit.

    The quality of the faces this model generates are much higher than the base Pony model! Thank you for that!

    But I have noticed a strong tendency for missing fingers - four fingered hands and where the middle and ring fingers are merged together. Don't get me wrong, hands have always been a weakness of stable diffusion, I just want to point it out in case I'm doing something wrong or if its something the author can address in a later version of this model.

    The model also has a strong tendency to crop the tops of characters heads off (like 15 out of 25 images). It generates a great image, but the tops of their heads are out of frame - a lot.

    Again, great model, creates beautiful faces, beautiful female characters!

    I actually have never experienced that. It makes me wonder what resolution you're using to generate images

    @Faeia base resolution of 768x1152. Should I be going taller or shorter?

    @ttb2112 832x1216 or 1024x1024 is what I recommend, and also is the resolution of the images that I trained on.

    ttb2112Apr 27, 2024

    @Faeia Thanks! I will give that a shot. I'm sure that's the issue. I see that you specified it in the model description, but I callously ignored it! 😮😂 Again, thanks for the great model. The resulting images from it are amazing!

    Faeia

    May 9, 2024· 2 reactions

    This model supports a wide array of styles and aesthetics but provides an opinionated default prompt template that allows generation of high quality samples with no negative prompt and otherwise default settings

    score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, score_6_up, score_5_up, score_4_up, just describe what you want, tag1, tag2

    (previous Pony Diffusion models used a simpler score_9 quality modifier, the longer version of V6 XL version is a training issue that was too late to correct during training, you can still use score_9 but it has a much weaker effect compared to full string. You can learn more about these tags here).

    From the base pony description, you can read more there: https://civitai.com/models/257749/pony-diffusion-v6-xl

    This is a fantastic checkpoint! It's just about all I use right now. One thing I've noticed with it is that, left to its own choice, it absolutely LOVES to generate blue-ish clothes. Do you happen to know why that is? Unless I specificy something else the clothes will be of a shade of blue nearly every single time.

    I think the creator has hidden NSFW images by default, you have to manually select to view NSFW images - could this be what is happening to your pictures?

    It seems prone to cropping off the top of the subject's head. No amount of prompting seems to address it. It either crops, or occasionally it doesn't. Very frustrating. I'll try 1.0.

    unseelie23Aug 29, 2024

    Seriously though, look at all of the example images. A much higher percentage of them are close cropped to the face, losing the top of the head, regardless of prompting. I'm guessing it has a training bias for cropping closer to the subject.
