description: <p>SD almost sorta kinda recognizes Nicki Minaj which has actually made getting a LoRA that'll produce a good facial likeness pretty difficult. I've adjusted my training data and tried this a few times with LoRA and Textual Inversion training. I've also tried it as a custom token vs. having the LoRA ride "on top" of the default SD data for her. It's still a little finicky but I think this version is good enough to release.</p><p></p><p>Since it's operating on top of SD's own understanding of Nicki Minaj it tends to like high-ish step counts (40+) and low-ish strength (under .5) but mostly it's just a bit of a moving target depending on the rest of the prompt. There's almost always some strength that gets you a good likeness but it sometimes requires some experimentation to get there. My suggestion would be to start around .4 strength and fiddle with it from there.</p><p></p><p>Last wrinkle is that it can also produce very light skin especially when combined with other LoRAs or strong embeddings. Use "black woman" or "African American woman" to combat that.</p>
