It's a really complex issue, come to think of it. Technology moves on. All those prior gens used the fabled Aurora Borealis, the famous model developed here that was custom tailored to fats generation, if I'm remembering correctly. With everyone relying heavily on LoRas to do to the heavy lifting with fats generation nowadays, we forget how amazing a custom-made base model was for getting something EXACTLY a certain way when mixing with fat artist LoRas. Nowadays, it's much more difficult to make a fat artist's style shine through in the generation, when there's up to 4 other lora' (symix, detailer, character, maybe even a style?) competing for generation representation, all on a base model like Pony or Autism mix which has fat *compatibility* but wasn't built from the ground up to handle fat like AB. And I think Symix does a pretty great job replicating the artists in it's Dataset, but still, those old single-artist loras we got first did have something special about them.
But all the benefits of pony.. from higher resolutions, to WAYYYY less manual fixing of hands/feet/face, to most LorA creators migrating TO it and leaving SD 1.5 in the dust as far as getting new Loras, has made the generations you're so fond of kind already the "floppy disk" of AI. Like yeah you could pull out those old models and loras and and make the same-ish stuff, but it would seem like you're going back in time, and you would be.
Still, I actually wonder how many people still prefer the look of "Perfected SD 1.5 on AB" vs "Still being perfected SDXL on Pony" at this point. In my hubris, I kind of assumed the vast majority of people prefer higher res pony stuff and just didn't bother copying all my SD 1.5 models/loras when I last re-did my PC, and really no one was specifically requesting SD 1.5 gens anymore, only occasionally maybe linking to a SD 1.5 loras when they didn't know any better.
Here's a few more binah on Autismmix, with random weights of two of the three artists you tend to prefer (Akina, Aymusk, BeltBuster). Maybe a combination of those artists is really what you're looking for in new gens, to kind of "bring it home" where just referencing one artist was enough on AB, maybe we need two in Pony, since it wasn't made from the ground up with fats in mind. (the first is actually all three artists at equal weights, just for fun). Maybe one of these new combos of your old faves could be your new goto order, idk. Maybe you have your own perfect combination in your head. Maybe like, 50% BeltBuster, 40% Akina, 10% Aymusk?
I also experimented a bit with moving the artists up in the prompt like I use to do, rather than putting it at the end like I would for Pony usually.
