Dan Hipp Style - [Pony XL]

## Dan Hipp Style LoRA for Pony Diffusion V6 XL

This LoRA captures the iconic, vibrant, and thick-line art style of Dan Hipp (known for Teen Titans Go! art direction and various comic covers).

It was trained specifically on Pony Diffusion V6 XL, so it works best with score tags and Pony-based checkpoints.

### 🎨 How to choose your version?

I have uploaded two versions based on different training epochs:

1. v1.0 - Balanced (Epoch 8): The most stable version. Clean lines, good anatomy, great for full-body shots. Use at strength 1.0.

2. v1.0 - Hardcore (Epoch 10): More aggressive style. Neon colors, very thick outlines, "sketchy" energy. Can be unstable at full strength (watch out for extra limbs!). Recommended at strength 0.8 - 0.9.

### 📝 Prompting Tips

* Positive: score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, source_cartoon, dan_hipp_style, [your subject]...

* Style tags that help: thick outlines, flat color, vibrant colors, vector art style, dynamic pose.

* Known limitations: The model struggles with bows (archery) but excels at swords, magic, and melee combat poses.
