My go to has been Google Imagen 3.0
[https://deepmind.google/technologies/imagen-3/](https://deepmind.google/technologies/imagen-3/)
It's a text to image model similar to Bing and DALL-E. Rather than using Gemini, I've been making images via the [NightCafe creator studio.](https://creator.nightcafe.studio/imagen-image-generator) This checkpoint is very good at making ponies and anthros, and has a pretty solid idea of what the majority of characters are supposed to look like.
There are some issues with secondary characters, however, but there is an odd quirk about it: if for, example, you ask for an image of Big Macintosh, it will give you a pony that looks nothing like Mac. However, if you ask for an image of Big Macintosh, and then describe what he looks like, it will give you an image that's pretty on point.
The checkpoint is also kind of weak when it comes to non-pony characters or creatures, such as Diamond Dogs, Buffalo, Griffons, and Yaks, and basically requires a bit more prompt tweaking to get them to come out close to the MLP style. However, it does have a good handle on Zebras, Hippogriffs, and Dragons, and is able to fairly properly output images of those in the MLP style.
One other issue it has with creating anthros and some ponies is that sometimes simply describing their race (ie unicorn, pegasus, etc) isn't enough, and will have a tendency to produce unicorns without horns or pegasi without wings, so you sometimes have to add in an additional prompt with things such as "glowing horn" or "spread wings" or some other descriptor of unicorn or pegasi elements to get it to stick properly.
