Rosie Merrigold Howell was no good. It was not a name to strike fear, a name that signals the greatness that she as destined for. It would have to go. But not yet, the anonymity was a boon right now. It let her get away with things, no one watched her, none really knew her. No one apart for her brother. Cavan was in the corner, snarling, incorporeal, invisible to all. Ready to leap when she demanded. The best of guard dogs like all big brothers, good little Cavan.
I’ve been having some hearing issues lately, and it turns out after some examinations that culminated yesterday that these are not fixed as such by hearing aid. I pick up that something is making a noise too well. But this means I need to make some quality of life changes. Make sure echoes are kept at minimum and well, get new headphones that are not the cheapest I could find.
Of course this means I need money to afford that. Lean months means I don’t have that much saved — thank fuck for cheap health care. So I’m have lowered the commission prices somewhat. If you want something drawn, do not hesitate to mail nicklas@nyvinter.se

Hi there. I don’t really go here that much anymore.
I still think about people I’ve met here from time to time but the whole tumblr ecosphere doesn’t work for me so I’ve just started posting at mistfaun.com instead. A going back to basics of sort.
Drew the characters for Hyper RPG’s Star Wars Edge of the Empire game. Now episode today, very late in my timezone. Or early. (Darin De Paul play the best of all SW robots. All of them!)
Why not specific prices? Because all the art is different and it seems unfair to not treat them as such. Some are easier to draw than others, and some requires extensive references and study. Ask questions about your specific art as a dm on twitter or mail to nicklas@nyvinter.se.
My depression used to be much more severe than it is now — today it flares up with anxiety attacks at times but that’s mostly it. I had it unchecked for so long that it wormed itself into my art. Or rather, into my process of art. When I finally sought out help, I was terrified that being rid of it I would lose my ability to draw. Which is, as we all know, horse shit.
I’ve improved a lot faster now, but in hindsight I guess I did one thing right. I kept drawing even when all was terrible. Sure, it was a copying mechanism but none the less, I continued with art even inside the depression bubble and I think it helped me stay alive.
Some things from this:
The depressive artist is a myth that should be buried. The art would be better without the depression as it would be allowed to experiment and move more freely. And artists are more prone to depression because they have no safety net, no insurance, and a society that tries its hardest to scam artists out of payment.
No matter how hard or good things get, create art. Especially when it’s though as it might help you get through the day.
Asking people for help is never a weakness. It might even be the strongest thing one can do.
