This is the next version of my AnyponiXL V2. The reason I separated this version 2.1 is that it didn't reach my expectations. The quality is better, but the accuracy of prompts is slightly worse and less versatile than before. However, I like this model because it creates a nice 2.5D art style. So this is more of a variation of AniPonyXL - v2 rather than an improvement.
Comparison between V2 and V2.1
AniponyXL V2:
Higher prompt accuracy
More versatile
Possibly better at fingers than V2.1 (uncertain)
Slightly lower quality than V2.1
AniponyXL V2.1:
Lower prompt accuracy
Less versatile
More oriented towards 2.5D style
Hit-or-miss on fingers
Better overall quality
