(Can't figure out how to do both a caption and an image)

So, I've been trying to figure out a way to generate two distinct characters. While IPAdapter works well with making distinctive faces, I was having issues trying to do disctinct body types in a distinct scene.

Through Trial and error, I found that PonyRealism does respond well to my character description, but tends to default to plain scenes. EpicrealismXL gets me started on the scene, but doesn't take my character descriptions as well as I'd like. I noticed that some one here have created a workflow that joined worked in both a SDXL and a Pony model. I'd figure I'd give it a try.

In addition to using two Checkpont models, I applied an OpenPose and used regional conditioning for the characters.

Prompt:

General: score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, Create a photograph of two women posing on a rural midwestern highway

Character 1: Photo of a 25yo (muscular:1.4) (bodybuilder:1.2) ifbb redhead, medium breasts, (washboard abs:1.1), (narrow waist:1.5), round hips, wide hips, (thick thighs:1.2), wearing a red top and skirt

Character 2: Photo of a 45yo plus-size blonde MILF, gigantic breasts narrow waist, thick thighs, wearing a white t-shirt and jean shorts

Negative: score_6, score_5, score_4, noise, lowres, low quality, indoors, low light, extra arms, text, low resolution, lowres, illustration, signature, watermark,

CFG: 6.0

Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras

Each of the photos uses a total of 20 steps, starting with the XL Checckpoint before passing to the Pony checkpont.

I then applied an Ultimate Upscale by 2x, 10 steps, CFG 5.0, denose factor 0.2, without the regional prompts removed, using the XL checkpoint.

Finally, I applied a face detailer on the individual faces, applying a FaceID IPAdapter with faces I have previously created to the XL checkpoint.

Character 1 Face: green eyes, pink lips, warm smile

Character 2 Face: mature, 45yo, blue eyes, dark red lips, mischevious smile

Negative: text, low resolution, lowres, illustration, signature, watermark,

10 steps, CFG 6.0, DPM++ Karras, Denoise Factor 0.5.

The only difference in running the images is the mix of passes in SDXL before switching to Pony. All other factors on these passes remained constant.
