The goal is to create a Pony model that has bright, crisp, clean characters with beautiful painted backgrounds. Backgrounds have a slight blur to help the characters stand out.

I try to keep my posts Safe for Work (SFW) but this is a pony model and is capable of pony model things.

What it does:

If you're familiar with Pony models, they are very specific in their prompting and subject focus. I made this model to work the same way, but have more stability and a more refined rendering. It uses the same prompting and LoRAs that other PonyXL models use.

What it doesn't do:

It's not a general model. Like other PonyXL models, it's more designed to work with booru tags and mostly does images with people in them. While I have tried to train more landscape images as you can see in the previews.

What's coming:

Continued training for landscapes and backgrounds.

How to use:

You can experiment with different samplers. I prefer DPM++ 2S a Karras for consistency and DPM++ 3M SDE Exponential to get wild. Prompting for quality should use the score system like other PonyXL models. (score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up) in the positive prompt and (score_3_up, score_4_up, score_5_up) in the negative prompt. Otherwise your images will be very plain.

Alternately, you can use the Pony PDXL embeddings that I created for much easier use.
