(Gamma World) Don Sombra - Capybara Food Merchant and Wandering Philosopher #CharacterCreationChallenge 1/21/2026

Day 21 of this year's #CharacterCreationChallenge, and I pull out a random picture from my Nightcafe account.  

I love Nightcafe, I use it for a number of reasons, and I fell in love with it again with a Beta Prompt Suggestions function.  About half the detailed prompts covered variations on recent artwork prompts I worked on, while the other half were suggested prompts for the daily challenges they have that the community can vote on.

I don't know what the original prompt was for the "Animals eating food," but I changed it enough to "Capybara eating tacos," and while I didn't win any awards, I've had the picture ready for this Challenge, and I'll admit, I let ChatGPT go wild
