If you like my work, buy me a coffee, so I can spend less money on caffeine and more on upgrading my hardware to create future AI models and images even faster (much appreciated).

About this Model:

This is/was the very first custom PonyXL / SDXL Lightning model merge I've ever created, based on the popular AutismMix Lightning model and the styles I personally prefer carefully mixed and balanced. Therefore it also has some shortcomings like less detailed backgrounds than my newer models and needs some help with negative prompting (see recommendations below).

Recommended Settings:

• CLIP Skip: 1

• Text Guidance (CFG): 2.5

• Steps: 12

• Sampler: Euler A Trailing (aka Euler A SGMUniform)

• HiRes Fix: Upscale by 1.5 & 2nd Pass Strength @ 40% (aka Denoising Strength 0.4)

• Optional: Detailer Script for Faces (aka ADetailer)

• Optional: (ESRGAN 4x) UniversalUpscaler V2 Sharp

Recommended Positive Prompt:

score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, source_anime BREAK [YOUR PROMPT]

FYI: If you use Draw Things to generate images (like I do), then you need to replace BREAK with an actual line break by pressing Shift+Enter on your keyboard (as seen in my image metadata).

Recommended Negative Prompt:

source_pony, source_furry, simple background, monochrome, greyscale, lowres, low detail, blurry, bad ???????, bad proportions, deformed, deformed ???????, deformed fingers

Important Notes:

All my models and images were created in Draw Things for macOS and iOS (and of course verified in A1111 before publishing them here). VAE is always baked-in in all my checkpoints.
