Holy shit, we have been dead for too long /bug/ bros. Now we are back and buggier than ever! Let's revive /bug/ and bring some much needed worship to our Queen!

In /bug/ we talk about our glorious leader Queen Chrysalis, gush over how cute lings are, and call gaylings gay.

AI Art Thread XXVIII

Backends:

>https://github.com/LykosAI/StabilityMatrix
This is more of a one click manager that you can install / run the other backends though. Easiest by far. Recommended to download Forge through it and use its built-in Civitai browser to download models with.

For models not on Civitai just download and drop them in Stability_Matrix\Data\Models\* (lora folder if a lora, TextualInversion if embedding, stablediffusion if checkpoint)

>https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge
Faster / more efficient version of Automatic1111 with some helpful extensions built-in. I would recommend installing this through Stability Matrix.

>Stable Diffusion Automatic1111
https://github.com/automatic1111/stable-diffusion-webui
The original for posterity's sake.

>ComfyUI
https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI?tab=readme-ov-file#installing
Has a learning curve but is extremely customizable and usually has the latest methods / papers implemented first.

Models:

>Pony Diffusion V6 XL checkpoint for Stable Diffusion

>Prompt tips for new users:
Grab a image you like the style of from the desired model's citvia's site and drop it onto the PNG info tab in SD, you can then click send to text to image to reuse its generation info for your own images. Change the seed so you do not get just the same image. I'll work on making a prompting guide soonish.

Can you faggots please stop picking on the Flutterfags? They did nothing to deserve this. They've always been some of the quietest and kindest waifufags.

Which waifufags do you think have suffered the most? I'm thinking either ponkfags or flutterfags.
