[PG] Comparing Hyphoria v0.01 vs v0.02

FYI I am running a challenge bounty this month that forces you to use only five tags with a chance to win 50,000 buzz! Five Tag Challenge using Hyphoria v0.02

It isn't always obvious what has changed between versions, many models iterate faster but for Hyphoria I wanted to improve specific things I disliked about v0.01 without breaking what I felt were it strengths. While building v0.02 I did direct comparisons and that is what helped me land on v0.02 which I feel is a substantial improvement while not losing the core of Hyphoria.

So I genned a bunch of random prompts and random styles to build out a set of comparison images I could share with everyone. I went through and tried to select ones that showed the differences in the versions while not just cherry picking worst vs best if that makes sense.

When looking at the comparisons, you should consider resolution, any artists included in the style, and the prompt itself for adherence. Resolution is a big part of the improvement, stability at 1.5mp-2mp for anatomy especially. The other very obvious improvement is in contrast and colors as well as generally more details (for better or worse). As with anything SDXL based, seed plays a strong part and not every comparison will be fair, but each image was generated with the same exact settings: seed, euler a, resolution, prompt.

This article is focused on PG only images with a companion article that is everything else.
