Cringetober 2023
I participated in a monthly challenge!
Click an image for more detail.
An anthropomorphic siamese cat, posing relaxed with her paw on her chin and looking at the viewer. Her eyes are blue and orange.
A rough sketch imagined by Kaye, placing herself as a student of Cherryton Academy in Beastars. She is fighting with Juno the wolf over her general treatment of Legosi.
A greyscale, full-body drawing of Rin Setsu A of series Thunderbolt Fantasy, but as a kitsune. It may be considered cosplay or transformation magic.
An angel and a devil, represented by an anthro sheep and goat, drinking coffee at a tiny cafe table together. the demon is excited about something, but the angel is shyly avoiding eye contact.
a meek-looking yellow chocobo stopped by the edge of a forest, late at night. it has a saddle, but there is no rider in sight.
Katt from the 90s RPG "Breath of Fire II", a tiger-girl in skimpy fantasy armor, sitting and trying to stifle a giggle at something off-screen. she has a feline face - something curiously lacking in her original design.
opted out of this one, as it did not feel suitably creative!
sans undertale down on one knee, holding a hexagonal ring box containing a single onion ring and a sprig of parsley. the inside lid of the box says "dinner's ready". the viewer has been pranked!
Azami, a java sparrow, sits with Rabu, a parakeet wearing tiny triangular sunglasses. They are perched together on the seat of a bright pink scooter. "Blaster" has been scrawled onto the wheel-well in fading red paint.
kaye smokin' weed with sprigatito on the busted-up couch
uh oh (a catgirl with heart-shaped spots glares at you menacingly, holding a knife)
Beta pokemon classify as a niche interest. Honoguma, a pale orange bear cub, lays down, its ears and tail burning with dark flame. a pokeball rests at its side.

Kaye picked up a copy of Pokemon Black (Game Boy), the most extreme of Nuzlocke runs!
Kaye plays a game boy (original) containing Pokemon Black, a cursed copy of pokemon Red/Blue. a smiling pokemon ghost looms behind her.

sorry friends i'm just not into it
Kaye sharing a piece of bread with Amalthea, who is doing a fine job of making crumbs. Every meal is like this.
Kaye sits in a chair, hand raised to her opposite shoulder, where a cockatiel sits. Kaye holds a crumb between her thumb and forefinger, presented for the cockatiel to eat. There are crumbs on Kaye's shoulder and lap. Kaye looks positively bored.
The lyrics to They Might Be Giants' "Employee of the Month" accompany her in the background.

a girl with a lava lamp for a head shreddin' on a guitar. costume borrowed from "eiyuclub" suzuka
this had better not be an isekai. i'm so tired of isekais.
Kaye holds up a glowing green jewel suspended from a gold chain. a cartoony purple and yellow star background glows behind her. Subtitle text reads: "Sweet! Let's pawn this cursed gem before the dragon notices it's gone."

the spite fairy sprinkles dust on an unseen, unsuspecting victim.
"spite fairy" was a sketch from 2009. I'm glad to give it another shot!

An adventurous purple sparkledog wearing brightly-colored accessories looks back at the viewer, inviting you to go on a magical adventure with them!

This is a re-design of Strawberry Slashes, a pony OC that liked baking strawberry pies (and also murder). it was truly a cringy part of my life.

"got a hot date tonight. we're gonna go drink beer and smash glass out by the dumpster.
maybe take out a few mailboxes too. we'll see where the night takes us."
kaye, wearing a dark outfit reminiscent of a schoolgirl uniform, rests a nailbat on her shoulder, menacingly.

made myself cringe. chickened out and drew renamon.
renamon is on their hands and knees, looking away from the viewer. they have an extremely fluffy tail.

What is Cringetober?
To me, Cringetober is an excuse to be self-indulgent; to embrace one's most "DeviantART" self.
A little bit of cringe never hurt anyone.
