Listen, you're just going to have to accept that this is my blog and I will be posting anything I see fit too. Accept my cringe! I know I have at this point. https://ko-fi.com/kelseyhowell
Welcome to my art/hobby/whatever blog! My name is Kelsey - aka CrownedInMarigolds - and I've been here since 2012. Yes, I am an ancient being.
My favorite subjects to draw are primarily OC things, and the sandboxes I usually play in are Vampire the Masquerade/World of Darkness, but I really love just about anything. While I have things I consistently like and reblog, do not doubt that I will just randomly bring up things out of left field. This is my mish-mash cringe blog, just be warned when following me! I'd also like to shout out my beloved muse @thesixthplaneteer, my true love and baby-daddy. He's a very talented writer, and a lot of my personal work is intrinsically tied up with his. Most OCs or storylines you may see from me here involve his own OCs in some way. Here is his AO3 account if you're interested in reading!
If you're interested in supporting me through commissions or just a nice lil tip for doing what I do, here is my Ko-Fi! Zero pressure of course.
My Regular Bluesky.
My NSFW Art Bluesky.
My Art Instagram.
My VGen.
My regular art commissions are: currently paused for summer break!
If you're interested in art commissions, please check out my art tag to get a feel if you'd like my style! Here is my art commission information post for more detailed info. I am open to art trades BUT I may be busy with commissions so please just ask! During my break, feel free to ask to be on my waitlist and I will get right back to you!
Tag Guide and OC Directory beneath the cut, if you're interested! Thank you for checking out my blog!
Tag Guide: In case you want to block anything or find certain info. I for the most part tag generously to make sure I can find everything!
I self reblog often, so it is under the self reblog! tag.
I often reblog others' commission post under commission boost
I post personal little dribbles about my life under personal.
My OCs:
Noa Vincenza Hidalgo-Giovanni - one of my main OCs. She is my Giovanni/Hecata VTM character, though I have and will continue to draw her across multiple universes, fandoms, etc! So don't be surprised if she's a vampire in one picture and a Vulcan in the next! Noa's Pinterest Board!
Khloe Osborne - my current VTM/V5 PC in my husband's chronicle, The Poisoned Peach, ATL by Night! She is a Ventrue Thinblood, in a coterie with three other Thinbloods as they try to stop the Atlanta Camarilla from enslaving the local Thinblood populace!
Parvati - another favorite character of mine. She was originally my first real Pathfinder PC that I played for a long time. I also started writing a book about her titled Crowned in Marigolds, sort of based on the Pathfinder world she had been placed in. Da da daaa, the namesake of my Tumblr! She is now my Vampire the Masquerade Ravnos Elder who is in the Ministry/Followers of Set! Parvati's Pinterest Board!
thesixthplaneteer's OCs: (the OCs I treat like mine but are actually not!)
Dr. Nythanel Loken PhD- "Elder Thinblood," known later in his unlife as the Thriceborn! He's the absolute favorite and Noa's best friend and for-tax-reasons husband. Cute and full of the audacity!
Ralph - Khloe's boyfriend and fellow coterie-mate, a Nosferatu Thinblood who was given the Nos Bane (arguably it's pretty light!). Former Spec-Ops, all love and all trouble. He's probably one of my most drawn boys... He and Khlo are a part of the Stakebait Coterie - which also include Christian and Kyle! The four best friends that anyone can have, all Thinbloods, all taking on ATL's Camarilla!
Harrakhty Hamdi - Leader of our main Followers of Set group. Gold and covered in artwork, he is his own walking sarcophagus.
There was some hullaballoo about the GTA 6 cover girl on twitter and I don't get what the big deal is. She fine as hell.
Then I got inspired to make this version with my Ravnos Madi! Don't worry, the background is just an elaborate illusion 😄
Some fun facts about Madi: she's drinking a bloody red bull in a can and the 99 on her Jersey is for 1999, the year the Week of Nightmares started
Artfight REVENGE against @vladimirsangel! Ralph and Aurik are doing funny family photos and it's getting really silly here. I found out you can include your characters when tallying up and... well, WATCH OUT YA'LL.
I had the best time with this I was giggling so much. The reference//inspo photo is below the cut ya'll have to see it. THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING BOY!
why are werewolves always described as gross and sweaty and smelly. what if they have good hygiene and shower every day. what if they smell like cucumber watermelon shampoo . what then
Another Artfight attack! This time on my beloved @wizzsp - Noa and Ajax getting close.... I was heavily heavily inspired by the Bound movie promo shots. Sorry, Corky's fits and hair made me think of Ajax....
THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME VAGUE SHIP OUR CHARACTESR AGAIN.....
Hiyah! Another Artfight revenge, this time it's Paola for my beloved @auspex! Thank you for the art of Nyth...! She's a hunter, so lets burn some leeches to ash.🥀💖
