(What do you think?) Showing the differences between PonyXL and Illustrious (Patreon)

Here’s a little peek behind the curtain hehe 😘🎬

Tonight I spent some time putting together a fun comparison between PonyXL and Illustrious — just to really show you all what’s going on under the hood! 🛠️✨ I'm honestly super happy with how the style is evolving! We're not quite there yet lighting-wise 🌙💡, but ooooh we’re definitely getting closer!! 💃💫

👉 The 4 images on the left are from PonyXL
👉 And the 4 images on the right are from Illustrious!

No cherry-picking, I pinky promise! 🤞💕 These are just raw images from a batch of 4 using random seeds — totally fresh from the AI! 🧠🎨

I really hope this shows off what Illustrious is capable of and why I’m so excited about it!! Especially from Example 4 and onward, I found a little trick while making these that helped things click into place a bit more! 👀💡

Would love love love to hear what you think!! 🥰
💭 Is Illustrious performing better?
🎨 Are we getting closer to the style you love?

Feedback is seriously everything to me right now, so don’t be shy~ 💌💕

With love always,
~NN 💖🌟

Example 1: Night time, Pink Pyjamas, Hands on face
Pony XL: none of the images actually show it's night time. 1 shows the pink pyjamas and in all images the hands are mangled.
Illustrious: All images show night time, pink pyjamas, hands on face without any mangled fingers. Not perfect fingers. But at least they look like fingers.

Example 2: Antique store - Office suite with a red bra peeking through
PonyXL: Has no idea what an Antique store is. In all 4 images she's wearing a red bra but in most of them it's more than a peek. Also her shirt is blue most of the time.
Illustrious: She's in an actual Antique store with a nice white shirt and her red bra peeking through.

Example 3: Petite girl in a girls bedroom featuring a teddy bear, her naked and a thigh gap
PonyXL: Good but all without a thigh gap. Also some mangled fingers. But to be fair. Illustrious didn't generate any fingers at all.
Illustrious: All images show the thigh gap. No fingers to see if this is going well

Example 4: Strip club - Bent over and from behind with pussy and anus on display
Pony XL: The word Club does something weird with the images. It creates strange light streaks over the character. The images look good otherwise
Illustrious: No strange light streaks in these images. This could be a taste thing but I quite like the purple feel of the stripclub itself. But I'm not sure if this is an improvement or just a matter of taste.

Example 5: Slingshot bikini on the beach. Selfie with peace sign
Pony XL: All images showing fingers are incorrect. 3 finger peace sign, Fingers too long and mangled fingers in her palm. Beach and bikini look amazing
Illustrious: All fingers here look good. 1 of the images shows a cross halter but that's most likely just by chance.

Example 6: Pink bra, Sweater and jeans. Undressing in the bathroom.
PonyXL: Again most fingers are wrong. Clothing is very wrong in 2 of the images. And none of these images actually feel like she's undressing.
Illustrious: In 2 of the images it looks like she's actually undressing. The other 2 she's pulling up her shirt. Clothing looks good in all images.

Example 7: Pink bra and thong in the bathroom. Unhooking bra
PonyXL: None of the images show her actually unhooking or an unhooked bra. Also her fingers are mostly weird again.
Illustrious: In most images it looks like she's taking off her bra. Sadly there are a few straps of her bra still on her shoulders which should not be there.

Example 8: Topless and pink thong. Pulling down her thong in the bathroom
PonyXL: None of the images show her actually pulling down her thong. Most are strange. Fingers are mostly good.
Illustrious: Not perfect but it looks like she's pulling down her thong. 3rd image is missing a part of the strap that should go around her hips.
