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.
Now introducing, Elias Suttcliffe, Nosferatu Primogen, trainer of inner-city Scourges, and overseer of the Prince's "secret police".
Spends most of his nights organizing and monitoring Kindred within the city participating in the Second Inquisition conflict. After all, many ambitious young Licks can be tempted by the promises made by desperate hunters, and Elias takes the role of internal security very seriously.
Although a relatively young Embrace, his Sire saw potential in his efforts following his participation in several AFP-affiliated projects, and shortly after his Embrace he Diablerised his Sire without sanction.
His punishment was indentured service to the Prince and to be made use of for the good of the city. However, through exceptional performance and planning, he was elected as Primogen for his clan and given the status to match his freshly stolen power.
Artfight revenge against @valentineveils for their gorgeous attack with art of Noa!! So cool - thank you! I picked Taryn the Death Godlike from their character line up because Death Godlike are the coolest to me and that's that. :3
it must be so freeing to be as stupid as a ceo. not a single thought echoing through that hollowed out skull. you get paid more money in 20 minutes than a handful of small countries make in a year combined to say the biggest number you can think of and if your company doesn’t hit that number you get to fire all of them
Hey I need some money to buy my meds and some other stuff until I start my new job and start getting paid. I'm limiting the option to just sketchy portraits like these for $45 USD
Artfight revenge against @stygianbluetentacles for their art of Nyth hanging out with Etienne and Cinnamon! So cute! I hope I've drawn Jaromir justice... THANK YOU!
Another Artfight revenge this time against @crowcollectorarts!! Their Hecata, Edith D'Angelo!! Such a cool character and I love her background... thank you for the art of my Noa and I hope I've done Edith justice!
*blows smoking barrel*
Hurray I worked on commission linework, did three Artfight revenges, and I even drew a lil self-indulgent doodle... it's almost five AM here so maybe I should go to bed now... have a great Chewsday everyone!
On Saturday I said to my partner, as I have said for months, "A ten thousand dollar a year raise would solve so many of my problems."
As of this morning I was reluctantly looking for jobs because I love my job and don't want to leave it, but see: $10k raise problem solver.
As of noon today this was no longer an issue, because my boss called me with the news that I was getting a $10K merit raise.
I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. This is roughly $200 extra per paycheck. Enough to pay off debt faster, rebuild my savings, and spend a weekend a month in Milwaukee getting obscenely laid. The sex I'm going to have on $200 extra per paycheck. You can't even.
May all of you get the $10K raise your soul has yearned for. And whatever level of sex you can be satisfied with for $200.
