Original Description:
Fluttershy has some fun in mud.
No matter what I did, I couldn’t get Astralite Heart’s pony-diffusion-v1 model to generate a pony completely covered in mud. Phrases like “covered in mud” or “muddy” &c would only generate mud around where the pony’s body contacted the mud puddle, even though his model must have seen pictures of ponies totally drenched in mud. So I eventually broke out textual inversion: I show ~10 pictures to the AI and ask it, “What’s the common theme in these pictures that you know about, even if you don’t have a human readable name for it?” “It’s [6ab8].” “Cool. Generate a picture of [6ab8] Fluttershy…”
Asking the AI what it thought this concept was (and then naming it “amuddy1” for future reference) resulted in the above pic. Best generation out of 10, then went through img2img maybe five times to clean up the eyes, which were way lopsided in the first generation.
“I mean I still smell better but there’s only so much I can do.”
