Welcome friends, ITT:
We make and share pony art, with absolutely no pressure to deliver anything that's technically good (besides having ponies in it, which makes it good by default)

Make something, share what you've done, and give feedback and motivation to help us all keep improving and creating!

This thread's focus is art, but beginner or low effort content of any kind is welcome here. If you do want to post about something else like music, gamedev, or crafts, though, just note that you may find better help and feedback posting it in the /create/ thread

Are you an experienced artist? Leave some tips, feedback, guides, or tutorials, they're well appreciated here!

AI Art Thread #33

Backends:

>https://github.com/LykosAI/StabilityMatrix
This is more of a one click manager that you can install / run the other backends though. Easiest by far. Recommended to download Forge through it and use its built-in Civitai browser to download models with.

For models not through the in-built downloader just download and drop them in Stability_Matrix\Data\Models\* (lora folder if a lora, TextualInversion if embedding, stablediffusion if checkpoint...)

>https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge
Faster / more efficient version of Automatic1111 with some helpful extensions built-in. I would recommend installing this through Stability Matrix.

>Stable Diffusion Automatic1111
https://github.com/automatic1111/stable-diffusion-webui
The original for posterity's sake.

>ComfyUI
https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI?tab=readme-ov-file#installing
Has a learning curve but is extremely customizable and usually has the latest methods / papers implemented first.

>"But I don't have a decent GPU"
NovelAI also does great pony: https://novelai.net
You could also use a service like civitai.

Models:

>Pony Diffusion V6 XL
https://civitai.com/models/257749/pony-diffusion-v6-xl?modelVersionId=290640

>Autism Mix (Alternative model based upon pony diffusion, I prefer the DPO version of it. Better anatomy / more coherent.)
https://civitai.com/models/288584?modelVersionId=324619

>Seaart (Less pony knowledge but has artist tags and is very high quality.)
https://civitai.com/models/391781?modelVersionId=437061

>Prompt tips for new users:
Grab a image you like the style of from the desired model's citvia's site and drop it onto the PNG info tab in SD, you can then click send to text to image to reuse its generation info for your own images. Change the seed so you do not get just the same image. For tags on e621 use underscores between multi word prompts.

Previous thread: >>40739527

Hi there, ladies and gentlemen.
I recently started working on an update to a certain totally not /mlp/ related radio station.
Turns out, the new system can run more than a single stream. Figured why not have some fun.

I want (You)
>YES, (You)!
to become a radio DJ for the station! Only if you want, that is.

>What does that entail?
Upload some music to the server, add it to a playlist and have me schedule it to play.
You can also have live broadcasts if you want to have something podcast like or want to do live DJ mixing.
We can schedule those in. Maybe some bogus newscasts might be funny
>I don't want to be a DJ, faggot
Maybe help come up with a better name than /mlpfm/ or a logo or some shit if you want.
Or maybe discuss in here what you want to hear/see out of it.
>How do I contact you?
In this thread. Drop an E-Mail if you want to take part in this
Or send one to pon3cast@pony.horse

So, any new info on this fangame?

Assuming the pegasi have kept to their schedule, Equestria should be looking pretty colorful over the next month. Plenty of ponies are doing their part to see a floral kaleidoscope come to life. And, conditions willing, such sights will be widespread soon.
There's time yet, but some are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the seasonal highlight!

This is the Pregnancy General, not stillborn and ready to be borne again. We've lately been building up a bundle of regular artists, storytellers, and others again; may this general get quicker and continue quickening.

For files and other things we can't discuss in this thread, there's a fraternal twin thread over inside Pregchan, the premiere pregnancy imageboard:
https://pregchan.com/f/res/100.html

That thread is the third in a series, and here are the prior Pregchan threads, which have been archived here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20211104233933/https://pregchan.com/f/res/100.html
https://web.archive.org/web/20220611172822/https://pregchan.com/f/res/14888.html

Because of that drama with Pastebin, here are two archives of our greentexts:

Here are some questions to stimulate activity while waiting for the birth:
How would you feed and otherwise care for your gravid dam?
Which aspects of magical pony pregnancy excite you most?
To be or not to be hyper pregnant?
Shoving bellies aside, which anatomical change do you most appreciate?
What's something rarely covered in art or stories you'd like to see focussed on?
Who are your favourite artists and writers; which pieces of theirs are your favourites?
For the relevant species, such as pegasi, do you prefer eggs or live birth?
Would you want to help your mare dress herself, and in what?
How would you cuddle your gravid mare and where?
Just how would you comfort your mare if she had a tummy ache, possibly from eating too much cake?

This thread is for showcasing your slaves/pets. Post your favorites, whether you have a picture or a green to share. Prison ponies are also welcome.

Let's see those ponies who know their place. Harsh treatment is encouraged but not required. But please try to save the pampering stuff for /spg/
