Those two images in description are two intermediate iterations. The initial iteration was manually drawing a scribble of the scene - a rough outline of Twilight with hooves up, glowing horn and two letters at the top. I didn't save that scribble, but anyway its quality was embarassingly low. I pasted it to img2img with denoising strength of somewhere around `0.7`-`0.9` and got the image marked as "One".
I then further refined this image by turning Twilight's mouth into a smile, and pasted that into img2img again with the same denoising strength. It produced a bit more detailed lineart with a smiling Twilight marked as "Two". Then I added some coloring, fixed some issues like proportions and AI artifacts with more iterations of editing in Photoshop and then inpainting specific regions of the image to better blend the edits with the rest of the image.
I didn't use ControlNet just because I haven't figured out how to use it properly yet. ControlNet does target the workflows with scribbles, sketches and linearts specifically, but I couldn't make it follow the sketch, or it generated very garbled textures. I do plan to try to figure out what I was doing wrong with it, but for now inpainting works good enough for me.
