ICat's Sarponyx (Gens enabled again)

Alright, this started as a quest trying to get something similar to Sardonyx for 1.5 on Pony because I really like that model, but it always bothered me those baked-in watermarks and the bad hands. So, I trained a bunch of styles with "cleaned up" datasets and I looked for a decent base for hands and style (Bluvoll's 3pxDiffusion). What I got is a decent starting point, I'll keep working on it as I get buzz to keep improving the trainings. I'll share some of the styles in the future too.

⭑𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 As I'm a noob doing this, I left a trigger by accident is not 100% needed but it does get the subject closer to what I wanted so is part of the prompt, sorry about the self mention. That will be fixed on next version.

⭒𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲: “score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, BREAK ,ict style, * your prompt *”

⭒𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲: “3d, monochrome, watermark, * your schizo negative*” (The 3d is optional, it changes the style a little)

⭑𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗿: •Euler a - It gives better hands but flatter colors •DPM++ 2M Karras - The other way around, worst hands but more detail. I prefer this one. I haven't tested others mainly because I'm pretty happy with 2M Karras. •𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽𝘀: Between 20 and 30 steps seems ok, I prefer to stay at 25, a bit more if details look strange. Or brute force it with hires if you can afford it. •𝗖𝗙𝗚: between 5-7. •𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀: Adetailer, face fix or inpainting is a must, unless the face uses like half the image. I'm sorry, heads and eyes are small, and I might have cooked the styles too hard so that's not the best. I'll try to work on it for the next iteration.

•LoRAs work decently, especially if they don't have a style baked in (like most of mine 😅), use a bit less weight if that's the case.

•Also "𝚕𝚒𝚙𝚜", "𝚗𝚘𝚜𝚎" and "𝚛𝚎𝚊𝚕𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚒𝚌" can help.

I also tested some realistic LoRAs and they work pretty good without "realistic" in the positive IF they are trained on base Pony. The Pony realism ones will break the style.

⭑𝗔𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: •@bluvoll: For making the model I used as base and being very friendly to talk about it. Use his models, generate, tip, etc. He spent quite a bit of money on his finetunings. •@Anzhc: For the crash course on training YOLO models, which ended up helping in cleaning datasets. •@Yoshi__: He doesn't like the model but was willing to test if it was working ok, so thanks.
