Yep, the rumors are true: SideQuest is back!
The feedback, the participation and especially your amazing images last time were absolutely incredible!
And honestly — I got pretty bored once the first SideQuest ended.
I planned to relaunch it earlier, but life happened and delayed things a bit.
No worries — it’s back now! 🔥
We’ve tweaked the rules a bit to keep things chill, fair and of course, even more fun.
👉 So rule number one: READ THE RULES! 😜
Grab your favorite models and jump into another round of Buzz, fun and killer images! 🐻✨
📅 When?
Start: Sunday, July 6, 2025, 02:00 UTC (Daily Challenge switch time)
End: Saturday, July 12, 2025, 01:59 UTC
Note: You have one additional hour after each Daily Challenge ends to submit your images here.

🧠 What’s it about?
For one week, you can earn extra Buzz in the Daily Challenges by creatively combining my models with that Daily LoRA.
It’s chill, no stress — but with chances for more visibility, cool rewards and a bit of glory! 😎
🐻 Which models can you use?
Besides my classic LoRAs, there are two brand-new checkpoints for you:
MoonToon Mix (Illustrious) – Checkpoint for Illustrious
MoonArt Cauldron Mix (SDXL) – Checkpoint
Here’s the full list of eligible LoRAs:
All LoRAs are SDXL-based, but might work with Illustrious or Pony — though that’s more at your own risk. 😄
And if I drop new LoRAs during the SideQuest — use them! They count, too!
✅ Important notes:
This SideQuest applies only to SDXL and Illustrious-based Daily Challenges (at least the checkpoints are available for Illustrious).
FLUX-only days are excluded (no fitting models for those).
🐴 Illustrious or Pony Days? Feel free to try the LoRAs — but at your own risk. 😅
🏆 What can you win?
Two ways to earn Buzz:
🎯 1. Top 3 placements in the official Daily Challenge:
If your image with one of my models ranks in the top 3:
🥇 350 Buzz for 1st place
🥈 250 Buzz for 2nd place
🥉 150 Buzz for 3rd place
💥 2. My daily SideQuest Picks:
🥇 1000 Buzz for 1st place
🥈 750 Buzz for 2nd place
🥉 500 Buzz for 3rd place
🔥 Bonus: Use more than one of my models in a single image? Extra Buzz for you:
➕ 100 Buzz for 2 models
➕ 250 Buzz for 3 or more models
(More than that doesn’t add anything else — keep it stylish 😉)
✅ How to participate:
Use the official Daily Challenge LoRA plus at least one of my models (LoRA, checkpoint, etc.)
Submit your image officially to the Daily Challenge (only then you qualify!)
Post between 3 and 6 images under the daily comment here on this article
I’ll pick 2 images per user for the daily selection, then choose the winners from those
Submissions remain open for 1 hour after the end of each Daily Challenge.
The use of the LoRAs should be visible — subtle is fine, but you gotta see it. (Enhancements like deeper detail from the Tomato LoRA with light weighting count too.)
(No tomato showers or rice blasts required, just visible 😉)
Checkpoints count directly (obviously).
Using multiple models ups your Buzz rewards but not your chances to win.
If it looks good and fits artistically — go for it!
Winners will be determined within 24 hours of the end of each daily challenge.
Buzz rewards and pins will follow shortly after selection.
👉 Just like last time, the daily winners will be listed in the Daily section.
(The section for each day is already added below.)
⚠️ Important:
Only images officially submitted to the Daily Challenge and posted under the Daily Comment section below will count.
(You’ll see “You have submitted this image to the XYZ Contest.” on the image page.)
DON'T BE LIKE GRU! -> https://civitai.com/images/86454019
✨ Extra recognition:
Winning images get pinned on the respective model’s page — so everyone can find them easily.
All SideQuest Picks will be added to public collection galleries so you can celebrate and inspire each other!
Old pins have been removed to make room for the new pins!
🎨 Why do this?
I love seeing how creatively you use my models. Some combos last time really blew me away.
Plus, these events just add some fun and fresh energy to the Daily Challenges.
The new submission process is important to me so I can focus more on judging.
No one knows your images better than you do — so you pick your best 3–6 images and I select the favorites from those.
Makes it fairer and easier for everyone.
💬 Feedback?
Got ideas, wishes or critiques for my models?
Please post them directly on the respective model page! That way nothing gets lost and I can react better.
🎉 Let’s go!
Create, have fun & earn that Buzz!
