Curious

Welcome!

Thanks for checking out my latest project!  If you're new to my models, my focus is to blend styles together in interesting ways to get consistent great-looking results without the need to pile on a bunch of LoRA or TI.  The goal for this model was to create more of a 2d Western comics art style.  It is very capable of anime styles as well.

Unfortunately, the ToS Bot flagged almost the entire original gallery I spent 3 days working on, so I'm replacing it with some old prompts and random stuff to get this published.  This model does best using the Pony native comics characters and western animation characters.  Everything else will look more anime-ish.

All sample images were generated with no LoRA or TI, and prompts are included for testing.  They do have Adetailer and Hires fix turned on.  Faces still generally look OK without Adetailer, but I recommend using it if possible.  I use face_yolov8s.pt for most of my uploads.

If you are new to Pony, here are some tips:

Scoring - Use score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, score_6_up, score_5_up in your positive prompt instead of SD1.5/SDXL quality tags.  Or use Zovya's Tis that do this for you with fewer keystrokes.

You can also use some of the baked in sources and content ratings  to control  the kind of output you get: 

Sources - 'source_pony', 'source_furry', 'source_cartoon' and 'source_anime'

Ratings - 'rating_safe', 'rating_questionable' and 'rating_explicit'

For this model, I recommend adding the following to your prompts:

Positive:  source_cartoon, comics style, 2d, flat color

Negative:  rsource_anime, realistic, 3d
