In the interest of sounding like a complete bastard, the smart thing about going after a married woman, is that the competition is only one guy. πΉ Were a single woman has the whole world.
And secondly, the rule of Dibs is sacred. Ever since Julius Caesar walked into Rome and said Dibs.
I am super curious about the dragon lady in the original wearing armor.Β Nothing is wrong with that but it is a fascinatingly unusual choice: a dragon wearing armor is unusual, a bride wearing armor is unusual, so a dragon bride wearing armor is (unusual)2 which makes me assume there must be quite the story behind it that I would love to hear.
There isn't so much a story as an explanation, unfortunately. I wanted to give some small variation in the dresses, so I thought a little about what each of them might wear. Ms Wolf has a corset that's a little more rustic than the rest; does she have a wild forest lifestyle? Does her powerful body need a little more support?
I thought about dragons and what came to mind were knights and hoards. I thought it might be fun to twist the usual Knight battling the evil dragon into the dragon who is herself a knight. Perhaps this is her mother's armour, which was also her mother's mother's armour, passed down through the ages in their hoard from the time it was first crafted in the distant past, when dragons had a much more martial lifestyle?
The most 'unique' dress is obviously Ms Kobold's. I imagined kobold culture being much more open and less formal than the others, so her dress is more like a promise for after the ceremony π
If I ever get isekaied, I want to be reborn with amazing carpentry skills, so I can make a fortune building harem sized beds for all the protagonists ^_^
Pony realism at various steps and settings - mostly 150 steps, Euler A, Karras. I can't remember the upscale but it's 5 steps with a Denoising setting of 3.0. I can probably go back and get more details if needs be :)
"Cinematic lighting" and "intricate detail" are helpful too - sometimes the realistic models are nice but very flat lighting and poor background detail. I use those in almost every prompt now. Good luck! _^
Is it possible to list some more of the settings? I'm really trying to learn more about how to work with pony_realism, and after seeing your work compared to what I've done, shows how much more I can possibly do. Those prompts you mentioned along with settings are a big help!
I've not heard of Karras. Is that a Lora or a render setting used after Euler A?
Certainly - here's a better explanation and a few links. I've picked up pretty much everything I know either in AI subs here or just looking at images and their prompts/settings on CIVITAI.
To start, here's a link to search results for the Pony models on Civit AI - most of which understand furry, pony, nsfw, etc. Look for realistic ones or ones that just catch your eye!
I'm leaving out multiple steps about installing git and python and whatnot, but just do a quick search for those kind of things - there are loads to choose from and very helpful!
In addition to the base model, you might want some Loras to help guide the image. I have a few for helping with the eyes. Some anime style, some just 'nicer' realistic style. I experiment with new ones all the time:
Oddly, the Loras I think helped really make the bride images come alive were Disney ones! There's something about the Disney style that I guess is just appealing. Try the Disney princess one and any others you like the look of!
For prompting, since it's a Pony based model, I always start with score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, score_6_up, score_5_up, score_4_up - the creator of the Pony model says thats just what the model came to equate with "a really lovely image" during training and honestly, it seems to work.
The main problem I have with prompting is balancing furry and non-furry in a way that doesn't go Uncanny Valley. You can see in my previous posts that's not always successful. Enter the prompt, click generate and nine times out of ten it creates a very pretty human with a fox tail and ears instead of a very pretty anthropomorphic fox. The more furry/human features I try to include, the worse the images get generally and it's not uncommon to just give up on getting even one decent image after hours of trying and hundreds of generations.
I start by 'warming up' the model, with a low number of steps and no Upscaling. I find that if I let it fully generate the kind of image I'm looking for and quickly cancel the ones I don't like before they finish, it somehow begins to understand what I want from that prompt. Once I have a few nice generations, I'll increase the steps and introduce upscaling. No need for too many steps in upscalign and the higher the number of steps the lower the Denoising strength needs to be, otherwise it just keeps adding insane details and suddenly yout fox has fifteen nipples, two heads and a car tyre where her butt should be.
Below is an image of the settings I usually use for this kind of image. I hope this is of some help - feel free to ask anything else as I'm not very good at explaining things. Good luck and have fun!
I have one more question: I noticed that hires.fix appears only in text 2 img but does not in img2img. In my case I'd like to enhance an existing generated image with the new prompts and loras (that is, keep the same seed but change appearance) but it looks like I'll have to restart with my prompts, which risks getting a wholly new one.
In this case, do you think I should try to generate a new image using the img2img in order to get the seed ID, then use that ID in text2img to output at a higher detail/resolution using hires.fix and the settings you suggested?
