The V6 Pony model apparently still has "artist" embedding
But for some reason many of them are scrambled (especially pony artists) - some theorize that this is a (vane) attempt at "protecting the artist styles).
Only result they got is that now users are trying to map out the strings to use to produce specific results by reverse engineering the tokens in the model.
this went in two directions. First, trying know artist names and see if they produce consistent results. For example the above image had "geo_(yukishitadou)" in its prompts. I found it mentioned in a post, this is quite cute because... it produces rounder faces for once!!!
Ironically, this doesn't really match the actual artist who seems to be a Japanese artist mostly focusing on Azur Lane (the "battle ships as cute anime girls" gacha game) but probably the rounder art style mixes with other artists to create this effect (personally it kinda reminds me of butch-x)
Others are doing something far more crazy.
since someone noticed that this model seems to use 3 letter tokens... they are trying to add EVERY 3/4 letters combination to the prompt... and see that produces a result.
compare this actual art from Lumineko
notice the glitched signature on the bottom left that is clearly trying to spell out "lumineko"
this was also using "cute" in the prompt. For reason unknown, "cute" has the effect of a quality prompt for this model, like saying "masterpiece" or "best quality" for the base SD model. Remove it and you get simpler pictures that are even closer to the original artist style
