<h1 id="duckymix-anima-v2">DuckyMix Anima v2 🦄🐥</h1><h2 id="nobody-asked-again-but-i-fixed-it-anyway"><strong>Nobody Asked, Again, but I Fixed It Anyway 🔥</strong></h2><p>v1 brought the Pony vibe to Anima. v2 makes it actually look like Pony.</p><h3 id="what-changed"><strong>What changed</strong></h3><p>v1 had one annoying habit: it drifted into realism whenever it felt like it. That's beaten 🎉 I rebuilt the dataset from scratch, purely from Pony, and leaned all the way into those Pony vibes of the past. No more unprompted realism, just that Pony look I was craving, with Anima's prompt comprehension 🐴</p><h3 id="what-you-get"><strong>What you get</strong></h3><p>The Pony aesthetic you remember, refined and running on Anima's architecture. Tags work, natural language works, SFW works fine too.</p><h3 id="style-drift-notes"><strong>Style Drift Notes</strong></h3><p>You shouldn't need them anymore 😄 If something ever leans too real for your taste, the old trick still works. Add this to your negative prompt:</p><p>photorealistic, realistic, semi-realistic, 3d, photo</p><h3 id="recommended-settings"><strong>Recommended settings</strong></h3><p>er_sde / simple, ~30 steps, CFG 4–5, ~1MP (e.g. 832x1216)</p><h3 id="why"><strong>Why</strong></h3><p>Still no good reason. The bit continues.</p><h3 id="notes"><strong>Notes</strong></h3><p>This is still a DuckyMix, not an OctopussMix or a Nautilus Grimoire. OctopussMix stays in its lane doing the semi-realistic anime 2.5D thing 🐙. Nautilus Grimoire does the ornate details. DuckyMix is the Pony lane, and now it actually stays in it.</p><h3 id="feedback-welcome"><strong>Feedback welcome</strong></h3><p>Let me know if v2 nailed it or if I should've stopped at v1. I think it's great 🦄</p><p>— ducktopuss<br /><br /><br />-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><h3 id="nobody-asked-but-i-needed-it">Nobody Asked but I Needed it 🔥</h3><p>Pony Diffusion vibe merged into Anima.</p><p>That's it, that's the model. I saw a chance to bring back the Pony look with better prompt comprehension and I took it. No one asked for this. I made it anyway 😄</p><h3 id="what-you-get"><strong>What you get</strong></h3><p>The Pony aesthetic you remember, running on Anima's architecture. Same saturated colors, same exaggerated proportions, but it actually follows your prompt this time 🐴</p><h3 id="style-drift-notes"><strong>Style Drift Notes</strong></h3><p>DuckyMix can sometimes unprompted lean more realistic than expected. Here's how to steer it either way:<br /><br />Want to no realism? Add to your negative prompt a combination of any of these tags:</p><pre><code>photorealistic, realistic, semi-realistic, 3d, photo, digital artwork</code></pre><p><strong>Want to lean into the realism?</strong> Add this to your negative prompt instead:</p><pre><code>anime, cel shading, flat color, 2d</code></pre><h3 id="why"><strong>Why</strong></h3><p>No good reason. Sometimes you just do the bit.</p><p><br /><strong>Notes</strong></p><p>This is a DuckyMix, not an OctopussMix. OctopussMix stays in its lane doing the semi-realistic anime 2.5D thing 🐙. DuckyMix is the other lane.</p><p>Natural language prompting works fine, tags work too.</p><p><strong>Feedback welcome</strong></p><p>Let me know if this was a mistake or a genuinely good idea, I think its great 🦄</p><p>— ducktopuss</p>
