Wanted to feed some buzz back into the community.
Both the Pony and Illustrious models like using daylight lighting in every situation. For instance, you could have a night scene that is candle lit, but the lighting looks like someone is using a daylight 5k lightbulb. Give me something on the lighting color spectrum that isn't white. Most aesthetic images (as decided by me) that follow the requirements will be rewarded as follows:
1st Place - 5k buzz
2nd Place - 3k buzz
3rd Place - 1k buzz
Requirements:
1 image per entry and a maximum of 2 entries
Non-white lighting
Use Pony or Illustrious (No NoobAI or Flux as lighting is much easier to adjust in those models)
No Loras (same as above)
You don't have to provide your full prompt/workflow, but please describe in your entry what prompt wordings/techniques you used specifically for the lighting
Regarding my preferences, explicit content won't win you a placement. If you are entering a person, I'd prefer something that isn't the standard static image of a 1girl staring at the camera (I've produced my fair share of these as well). Outside of that, theme/content is wide open.
