>>43055959Here you go Anon, I did the request with Woona because this filly doesn't get enough love
>>43057616>I'm also planning an AI panel for Marecon and probably MareFairI'm crashing your panel at Mare Fair, you will NOT be having a good time.
>>43051706Everyone favorite distant Apple family cousin, PineappleJack!If anyone have any ai art request, I can try to gan & inpaint them.
>>43057616>I'm also planning an AI panel for Marecon and probably MareFairWe need to talk if you'll do one for Mare Fair. I was also planning on one.
>>43057886>heh, im in danger
>>43057886I'm trying to reach one of the staff to be sure, but I already got the time for Marecon live now I have a beef config to gen anything in minutes. MF will be a first since I see no rule against AI art there so I'm organizing all that, if you're interested let's org!
>>43058027I might watch you on Marecon but the chances are it'll be at an ass time for me.For MF, I won't be able to gen anything live since I sure as hell won't be hauling my rig across the Atlantic. My idea was a boring presentation on how to get quality beyond simple 1girl pics; or how to go beyond slop with advanced tools like "manual editing" and "image2image" and especially a combination of the two.
LMAO look at this faggot. https://tantabus.ai/images/69117
>>43058083I may have reposted his art but why must you attack him so? Please be respectful of artists.>>43058027Awesome, gotta invite more to your panel so they see what you're gonna bring!
>>43057686So what? This is much better than the original, colorful and soulful, cry moar luddite!
>>43058167He's too pretentious and sounds like a total faggot. Also, I have no respect for discordniggers.
>>43058241>better than the originalit looks meh, since all it does is adding unnecessary blurring/smudge in the shapes over the input image, it looks on par of pre v6 pony model.Since you already have set up for it, you could easily already take a semi random blobs of colors and turn them into cute mare pics (and the use of some img2img to fix derped problems).>cry moar ludditezigger, i was using the ai models before ai was overtaken by zoomzooms like you.Anyhow, this isnt leddit, go and post some cute ai ponies (you) fags.

>>43058083Damn, I regret using his LoRAs.
>>43058083>everyone who posts on 4chan nowadays is a retardI mean, how is he wrong? Besides this thread and 2 other threads I've completely stopped interacting with the board since the hack.
>>43058592And in case you need to know, the threads are /pts/ and /fast/, which maintain at least a semblance of intelligence from time to time.
>>43058592>mean, how is he wrong?>I've completely stopped interacting with the board since the hackHoly retard.
How do I make I2I not look like shit? Do I just need to bump up the diffusion strength till it stops producing fringing?I just want to recreate some pictures in another style but fine details keep getting lost.I'd post an example of what I mean but all I have is coom.
>>43058605Thanks for proving my point for me?
>>43058611>I'd post an example of what I mean but all I have is coom.Catbox it
>>43058592>>43058598Wrong, this thread actually have brilliant users with imagination, technical skills and literacy. The hater is certainly Patachu or one of their goons if you spot the patterns and connect the dots...
>>43058615You're the dumbest gorilla nigger I've ever seen, you didn't even understand my post. How can you talk shit about the state of the board when you don't actively post here? Go back to the dicksword server you crawled out of.
>>43058616It's degenerate anthro slop though, but I guess I might as well. No bully plz.https://litter.catbox.moe/up7svo.webpAs you can see I'm talking about the details around her pussy (and also her face a bit). Cranking up the diffusion strength changes the style too much, but keeping it lower results in this annoying artifacting.
>>43058638I do read the other threads from time to time, but then go back to my main threads when I see how abominable the quality in them is. Interacting means actively contributing to the thread. You know, by posting. You can see the state of the board without interacting with it. Maybe you're the gorilla nigger?
>>43058644You'll want to inpaint shit like that. i2i won't get it right.https://files.catbox.moe/kb1p21.pngThat should have a workflow for you. You just need to install the needed CropAndStitch custom node pack.
>>43058660Thanks for the help anon, I'll check that out. One more reason to stop procrastinating installing my new GPU.
>>43058671In the future, you may want to go to /sdg/ on /trash/ if you have questions like that. You're far more likely to get an answer there.And not just because it's b&thro. Some of the people there are just far better than anyone here. Don't let the flood of slop and shitty porn put you off; the competent lads don't post a whole lot since making a good piece takes time while you can spam raws endlessly.
>>43058671Oh and since I forgot>>>>>>>>>>>webp
>>43058649The /aia/ thread has consistently featured some of the most creative and original content on the site for years now, even as we've weathered our fair share of persistent trolls, burnout among artists, and the occasional dip in momentum. It's utterly baffling—and frankly, unnecessary—to see someone dismissing it so cavalierly, especially when so many other threads across the site are either crumbling under their own weight, endlessly regurgitating the same tired memes and discussions, or suffering from a glaring lack of quality control. This isn't just my opinion; it's an observable fact for anyone who's spent time browsing.A thread's true value is indeed measured by the caliber of its posts and the substance of its content—whether that's sparking intelligent debates on the merits of AI-generated art versus traditional techniques, diving into cutting-edge technology breakdowns, or exploring deeper philosophical questions about creativity in the digital age. We've got all of that right here in this thread, and more, which keeps it vibrant and engaging despite the challenges. But resorting to crude racist insults and personal attacks without offering any meaningful contribution? That's a glaring red flag about your real intentions here. It reeks of someone who's just stirring the pot for kicks rather than adding value. If you're so quick to judge the "abominable" quality elsewhere, perhaps take a moment to reflect on your own input—or lack thereof. After all, lurking and observing the board's state doesn't require interaction, as you pointed out, but if you're going to post, at least make it count instead of dragging things down with needless toxicity.>>43058644I'm frowning upon porn because this is not yet another AIdegen art thread. Keep this on /trash/.
>>43058644If you just need a pose, you can use img2img + ControlNet.>As you can see I'm talking about the details around her pussy (and also her face a bit).You can fix defects using inpaint. Use the only masked option. Denoising strength 0.1 ~ 0.35. In the prompt, describe only the masked content. Personally, I prefer to edit everything manually in Photoshop and then use inpainting with low denoising strength, like 0.05 ~ 0.2.
>>43058681I think it's probably a bit too fast to get a good answer there, but I'll try that in the future. It's just hard to stomach all the furry garbage in there (which I know sounds hypocritical, but I really don't like any furry porn besides pony anthro, regular furry stuff doesn't appeal to me at all).>>43058683I know, it's just the format the site I'm using outputs in, I wouldn't use it for final output myself.
>>43058695>I'm frowning upon pornDYKWYA?
>>43058695Nice slopresponse.
>>43058649>I do read the other threads from time to timeStop lying, faggot, you said that you only visit three generals. You don't know shit about the state of the board, your opinion is worthless. >Besides this thread and 2 other threads I've completely stopped interacting with the board since the hack.
>>43058734I'm done talking to a dumbass like you. You're the perfect example of what that user was talking about.
>>43058740So you admit that you don't know shit about the board? Good. It would be better for both of us if you crawled back to your favorite Discord server and never came back.
>>43058698When you say using Photoshop, how do you edit it precisely? You just use the paintbrush to lightly go over the area to steer it in the direction you want it to go?
ponies?
>>43058767>You just use the paintbrush to lightly go over the area to steer it in the direction you want it to go?I fix lines, artifacts, remove watermarks, etc. Though, if you want to change something significantly, you'll have to draw and edit quite a lot. For example, here's how I placed a rather exotic knife on the hind leg of some dumb suicidal horse:https://litter.catbox.moe/fc0zzw.png cropped raw genhttps://litter.catbox.moe/42kibu.png 1000 hours in MS Painthttps://litter.catbox.moe/9c6hny.png After inpainting. (denoising strength 0.2)
>>43058868Good editing. I expected a much more rough paintjob. You used to do work in Photoshop before you started working with AI?
>>43058916>You used to do work in Photoshop before you started working with AI?Nope. I've been editing my gens for over a year now. It's just a lot of practice, I guess.
This took way too long to complete
>>43059056Good job!
>>43058916Photoshop is a pain I remember when we had to use it in school, it got me mad at the layers, the selections, tools but where can I download a free and clean version because I can't afford a CC subscription this month
>>43059127>where can I download a free and clean version because I can't afford a CC subscription this monthAny Russian torrent website?
>>43059056Mudhorse
>>43059139What about sharing the site here?
>>43059152https://pcprogs.net/4720-adobe-photoshop-2026.htmlTry this. Just translate everything into English and follow the instructions.
You really don't need a complex image editor to do what you need. The big thing you want is layers.I do my editing in paint.net and I'm yet to run into anything I'd need a more sophisticated program for.
Page 10 bump.
Goblintide, Celuniamoon, and cloudmild all seem like peak AI artists in the fandom. Any others I should follow? Preferably ones that don't post exclusively on sketchy russian telegram groups.
>>43059756Marble maid cure>>43059255+1 usually, usually i dont bother with more than quick copy and pasting in the paint, and if you needs something a little bit more advance, krita and gimp are more than sufficient to get it done
>>43059127Photopea is a free online image editor that has most of what Photoshop has to offer. But it's online so that might not be what you need.In any case, something like GIMP isn't even close to what even Windows 98 copies of Photoshop had to offer. If you need Photoshop and can't afford a subscription just get CS6, which is the last one that has a regular license. It has everything you might need.If you're okay with sailing the seven seas just download the latest version and search for GenP. Or download some keygen for CS6, just don't register it in your Adobe account.
>>43059021Any longer and you might be able to draw the rough outline to I2I by yourself (or maybe you already are). I still maintain traditional (or legacy, rather) artists could be at the forefront of this new technology, but they all decided to fight progress with "muh sovl" style arguments. I'm old enough to have seen the majority move from traditional to digital, so I already know what their future holds.>>43059056Good job anon, but it kind of looks like a macro Rarity while a mini Applejack is staring up at her maregina, kek. Love the concept though (and the execution isn't bad either, don't get me wrong).
>>43060348>looks like a macro Rarityyeah, its best I could do, the original idea was to try to gen Rarity facing the camera and Aj peaking just behind behind her doing >dat ass face, however it keep messing up, and even doing a solo tag it keeps fucking up the picking carrot concept.Pic related, ai model making image of Rarity getting railed (?) by huge carrot for some reason. Once it gened Ra doing iwtcird pose I knew this is the closes I could get to my idea so rest was brute forcing the image of carrot with tiresome Ra and AJ peaking from behind.
>>43060393Kek niceWhat tags did you use for the picking carrot thing anyway? Just natural language and cross your fingers it picks up on the concept? I can't imagine there being a booru tag for something like this.
Joyful jungle pony>>43060445Here's the tags from that specific image, its bit of clausterfuck as I have a very chaotic method of just throwing whatever keywords and tags at the prompt and switching things around until I get something nice out of it.head bend to ground, (outdoor), score_9_up, feral, (zPDXL3:0.8),large carrot stuck in dirt, Rarity standing on top of garden,dragging green feathery leaves from ground with teeth, (Rarity bending head over and struggling to pick up veg of the dirt ground with her mouth:1), 2pony, beautiful, <lora:sinfulpie_PONY_synulls:1>, correct eyes shape, SoL, sinfulpie, sfw, low angle, soloNegative prompt: clothes, hat, deformed iris, (signature:1), (overexposure, over saturation:1.2), human, smudge soft style, ZPDXLxxx-neg, eqg, equestria girls, 3d, deformed, mutated, monochrome, far away shot, deformed face, bad saturation, (deformed body), illustrator, vector art, badly drawn background
>>43060532>just throwing whatever keywords and tags at the promptSame. I usually cannot be assed to work out the order of the tags since it's just for stuff to goon to, at least until I start generating locally.I'd move the score modifier to the start of the prompt though, unless there's a specific reason you chose to not put it there?Btw, I noticed that putting tags like "monochrome" and "black and white" in the negative prompt make the image less dark. It might prevent accidental monochrome shots but does it have side effects. Well, all tags in the negative prompt do, really, since they also steer the result away from other concepts that a tag is aliased with. It's often interesting to see what the prompt you're using would look like with an empty negative prompt, and adjust accordingly.
I think we're all set, one hour for an AI art panel preferably Saturday. Showing my workflow and how this isn't sorcery but still requires some skills to perform I hope I won't stutter.
>>43060729This is for the MareFair AI art panel by the way.
>>43060729>>43060750An hour isn't enough to do a good piece but I guess you can cover topics faster than they are to do.How familiar are you with blotting and stitching (or element method or whatever genning in pieces and cutting and pasting it all together is called) that, combined with inpainting, let you do pretty much anything you want?
>>43060729>>43060797We should set up some Matrix server or something where we can discuss this kind of stuff off of 4chan and maybe create some wiki where more advanced techniques for local generation get dissected, focusing on pony in particular.And no, for anyone wondering, I will never join your Discord server, so don't even bother suggesting it.
>>43060822/sdg/ over on /trash/ already has all the guides you want. Sure, they're for b&thro, but they work all the same on ponies. There's a decent bit of pony posting there, actually.The guides are scattered and definitely could use consolidation and indexing, but it's all there.

>>43060925
>>43060930
>>43060832Thanks for the tip. Maybe in the future I could try setting up some wiki or something but by the time I'm done setting this stuff up the information is probably going to be outdated. Still putting it on my possible todo list though.By the way>check out the /trash/ catalog>first thread I find with the word "pony" in it is literally called "/BPone/ - Blacked Ponies/Niggered Ponies"Jesus Christ. This is why I normally don't venture in there.
>>43060933Uh, that's dangerous. Lava is no joke.
>>43061070If you touch lava you die instantly.
>>43058698Does 0.05 denoise even change anything? I rarely go below 0.5, only for re-rolling details, or upscale.>>43059127Give Krita a try. All you really need for this kind of edits are a few brushes, clone tool and lasso selection.
>>43061081Or do the Mario in a cartoony universe.
>10
>>43060729>>43060750Absolute W, I'm not sure if I should go to MareFair, I know some other anon who's been there but I'd be a bit scarred, it's too commercial and had a terrible rep. But if you go there document everything. Artists will try and start sitting up your panel.
>>43061590>>43060729same, no idea if I make it this year con so good luck to you and your panel.

Beyond Slop (wip name subject to change) Start with a description and image of the flood of slop porn on Twibooru or something to show how most of AI art that gets posted and seen is 1girl garbage.>Show something people agree with to defuse tension.But, we can do better. Show a few impressive, high quality, high effort complex pieces.So, how do you make something like this and why doesn't almost anything bother? Intro over, move on to talk about text2img and how it can only make error free high quality images of they're very simple and with just one character. But, how to do more? Introduce img2img and how t2i is only really good for raws that you use as a base for edits and fixes. Basic blobbing or how to fix stuff like phantom signatures or Patreon logos and extra legs or fingers with an image editor and i2i. Stitching, or generating in pieces and cut-paste the parts in and "bake in" with i2i. Finish off with upscale and hires fix.Inpainting. What is it. What can it do. What can't it do. Inpaint halos. But, most important, the manual edit - inpaint loop and how you can add almost anything with that combo. I'd also love to cover sketch2img where you feed a sketch to img2img, but I'm not sure if anyone would agree to let me use their sketch for it.Finally, as a recap, go through the workflow of one of the high effort images at start, phase by phase to show off what each tool does.Each part would of course have lots of images as examples, including weird looking WIP pieces you never normally see.And that's the rough basic structure for a presentation that I came up with. Feel free to call it shit or share thoughts and ideas.
>>43062223i give it weebaboo out of 10, please do post more
>>43062916celestia cute
More weeb pixel art. This time with a kunoichi bat pony. I didnt know maroon manes were so sexy.
>>43062448I'm going to cover all this on my panel at Marefair, another anon is preparing something for Marecon.
>>43063103I'm just wondering how well you can do it. I've seen too many awful panels at Mare Fair that had little to no prep and practice with the hosts mumbling something from behind the desk.I'm also not at all impressed by the quality of images in these threads. I'd post what I did yesterday but it's b&thro so I can't.
>>43063071>maroonThat's already red if you ask me. Still looking good though.
>>43062448Looks good overall. Regional prompter might be worth mentioning as well.
>>43063071pretty amazing
The floor is lava!
>>43064061
>>43064062
>>43062448I would say, make sure to do a "dry run" of the panel at your home, count how long it will take it to run, THAN add 15m for beginning due to laptop/internet fuck ups, and 15m at the end for packing your stuff for the next panelist to roll in (or the surprise A/V mess ups).
>>43064065Careful, not that you roast your rump.
>>43064456Very modern.
>>43064082I'll practice a few times, make cue cards, and show up 10 minutes early to set up, just like I did last year.>>43063625True. I do have it set up in my workflow that I was going to cover, but maybe it does deserve a separate mention as well.
>>43062937This Celestia is attractive.
>Guess what, the new princess can dunk!
Whats the trick for high contrast color play? Passing shape mask onto a detailer? I am kinda at loss here
>>43065618What are you trying to do? Increase saturation all over or what?
>>43065621>pic relatedI want to use shapes and silhouettes for some dramatic pieces, but its all end up muddy or just ugly bright if I turn up cfgs number
>>43065628The "silhouette" tag is your friend. Combine with "black background" and usually "glowing {eyes/hair/horn}" to get something going.The lighting slider LoRa helps, too.
>>43065681this is too much detail, I want a flat shade of color ideally. Did anyone tried to pull this off? I feel like I will need to train specific lora for this
>>43065877The string of tags is, at least in NovaFurryXL:(dark:1.2), black background, (monochrome:1.4), (vector:1.3), abstract, silhouettePlay with the weights of the tags to get closer to what you like. You may need to do a final round of detail removal by hand in an image editor in the end.
