Do you need a model for character illustration but are you frustrated that most models always default to anime characters? Do you seek a slight touch of realism but not too much? Do you want a model that can handle women and men alike? A model that is not NSFW-focused per sé but doesn't result in Barbie/Ken-like mutilations when you're in need of more skin?

Look no further! Introducing...

AWESOME PONY

(a Stable Diffusion pony model for quality character illustration enthusiasts)

Features:

• Beautiful high quality illustrated characters

• Fast generation (26 steps Euler A are more than enough for most cases)

• A hand-picked blend of merged checkpoints and LORAs

• Not NSFW-focused, but definitely ???????-friendly

This is my first checkpoint merge. Make sure to share your works and comments! More to come!

Recommended settings

• cfg 6-8

• 26-34 steps

• Euler / Euler A

• Works well for both txt2img and img2img

• Keywords: just try stuff! artbook illustration, cartoon, outline or even drawing seem to please the model
