I guess its just not show accurate. Of course her mane can fall that way if real hair physics are applied. Iā€™ve just never seen many people do so. In my mind it files as a mistake AI likes to make.

Do you mean Twilight having two strands of mane around her neck? I donā€™t think thatā€™s necessarily a mistake. Iā€™ve seen some artists depicting her mane like this. For example:
I think her mane can flow like that if you imagine Twililight splitting her mane into two (itā€™s physically possible).

Turned out really good. But I canā€™t unsee her double mane. Iā€™ve seen the mistake was in from the first draft, so it was maybe intentional?

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 didnā€™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 ā€œOneā€.
I then further refined this image by turning Twilightā€™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 ā€œTwoā€. 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 didnā€™t use ControlNet just because I havenā€™t figured out how to use it properly yet. ControlNet does target the workflows with scribbles, sketches and linearts specifically, but I couldnā€™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.

Hey, @MareStare I have a question about the process. Those two images linked in description were hand-drawn sketches used for img2img? Or were they prompted and then feed back? Do you use control net? Iā€™m interested in the whole process from scratch. And great image, also love this model.

Yikes, yeah. Thatā€™s way too pricy (here Iā€™m sitting thinking the $25/year domains I have is pushing it), plus having to adhere to Libyan rules as well really makes it not worth it.

Oof, twai.ly would be an awesome domain, indeed! Unfortunately, .ly domains arenā€™t offered by the major registrars, only some no-name registrars. Also, a country TLD means the website would need to follow Lybian laws and regulations. I saw prices ranging 75-100$ per year, while .dev costs me only 12$ a year. Not sure if itā€™s worth it šŸ™

FYI, Iā€™ve already claimed that pun as a name for https://twai.dev XD. That guide is incomplete yet though, Iā€™ll post when itā€™s more or less ready, and if someone would like to contribute their pony AI art knowledge, that would be awesome

Love the concept of AI twi. We have Sci-Twi, so why not? Now I feel like we need to have a specific design. I think something subtle though, not a robot Twi, but rather a Twi thatā€™s into AI. Maybe some kind of techno-peytral.
