I want to preface this journal by saying all my Discord friends and those in Birth Haven can ignore this, it doesn't apply to you.

I've had a couple users harassing me about some art over the last few days, they wanted some pictures that I just wasn't comfortable drawing, I was as pleasant as I could be about it but they just kept pushing, I made it clear I wouldn't be drawing their requests and they decided to send a nasty message then block me. Unfortunately this isn't the first time this has happened.

I started taking requests seven years ago and it was pretty fun at first, I got to interact with the community, I got to draw some cool characters, and I got to draw for people who couldn't afford commissions. I noticed early on that people would get upset with me if I took too long to draw a request but that was my fault, right? I told myself I shouldn't make people wait so long and I went on doing requests. Then people started getting upset about some of the things I wouldn't draw, one user even commissioned a 15 page comic about how much of a bigot I am for not drawing mpreg. I decided to ignore these incidents and just continue doing requests. Fast forward a couple years, my uncle died, and a week and a half later my grandma died. This was during the height of COVID and no one was able to see either of them in the hospital and no one was able to say goodbye, my whole family was, and still is, heartbroken. I took a few days to go to my hometown and help out any way I could and when I came back and logged into FA I was met with a bunch of notes about how late I was with requests, what a nice welcome back, right? I didn't do any of the requests in question and I stopped advertising free drawings after that.

I've struggled with depression most of my life and after losing my uncle and my grandma it started to get a lot worse, it was gradual and I didn't really notice until I stepped back and really took a look at my life a couple months ago and I realized I hate who I've grown into, I've sacrificed major parts of myself for the sake of "growth", I wanted to be an animator but I couldn't cut it so I settled for hobby artist and when that didn't take off I started drawing the stuff you see on this account, I wanted to have a career where I could help people but I had to settle for being a drone at a shit company, I wanted to have wife and a lot of kids and big house with a lot of land but I can't date anyone in this mental state and I can't afford a decent house. If my high school self met me he'd be disgusted. I started working on myself and I think I'm on the right track to get better, I even drew a cute sfw pic the other day and its the first thing I've drawn in long time I was legitimately proud of.

But then I get two users harassing me about request I'm not willing to draw, they start nice like everyone does, then when I say I don't want to do their requests they start to turn, they threatened to out me as the asshole they think I am and then they both blocked me. I'd love to say this a rare occurrence but it happens pretty regularly, I've gotten to the point where I hate seeing notes in my inbox because I just know its going to some stupid bs like that. I've been struggling with myself about what to do with WarriorStew, I want to delete all my accounts and start over but I'm having trouble doing that, just this FA account, as harmful as it was to my mental health represents seven years of art and it hard to just walk away from that. That being said this has basically become a job, and not a fun one, I offered free drawings thinking I could have fun with the community and to an extent I did, but the majority of people made what was supposed to be a fun hobby into a miserable chore, I don't owe anyone here anything, you don't get to be pissed at me for taking a break when I need it or not wanting to draw certain things. Because of all this I've decided I'm not doing requests or free drawings anymore, and if I can bring myself to do it I'll be deleting this this account.

Again, I want to say that this whole thing DOES NOT apply to my discord friends, you've all been very welcoming and supportive of me at every turn, I'm still into preg and birth stuff and I might still draw some of it for you guys.

Ok boys and gorls, I wanna buy a kind of a weird commission and I need to find an artist to draw it for me, I want a picture of anthro Princess Luna and feral Princess Luna giving birth together, let me know if you know someone willing to draw such a thing for me

Well, I lost my dream job a few days ago. After years of working shit jobs and going to college at the same time I got my Integrated Manufacturing and CAD degree and scored a job as a tooling and production line engineer at an aircraft supplier, after two years of working I finally bought my first house and got a newish truck, not even a month later COVID-19 brought my company to its knees and they had to let go of 40% of the workforce, myself included. Unfortunately I can't find any CAD or towing jobs in my area and I'll put a bullet in my head before I move to the city so it looks like I'm going to have to go back to driving a construction delivery van or working in a gas station again. Cheer me up by sending birth requests my way and I'll draw what I can!

I don’t know if you guys noticed or not but I’ve been inactive for the last week, work has been crazy (I put in 60 hours this week) and I’m in the process of buying a house so I just never found time to draw. Anyways, this week is behind me and I’m drawing again, if you’re waiting on a request from me please send me a note or leave a comment here to remind me, let’s try to keep them related to pregnancy/birth or general sfw, I’m not really interested in drawing anything else. One final note, if you’d like to ask me a question or make a request please do so over discord (Warrior9971#8984), Furaffinity notes, or comments, if you try to get a hold of me via user page shouts I can’t reply and you’ll most likely be ignored. Have a great night!

I'm looking to buy another commission and I need an artist who's cool with drawing feral doggos, who can draw a picture of Jenna from Balto giving birth for me? Shoot me a pm or hit me up on Discord at Warrior9971#8984

Sorry for the inactivity, I live in Minnesota and we’re in the middle of a 4 day snow storm so I’ve been busy plowing my driveway and my grandparents driveway, I’ve just been too tired to draw lately. Just a quick reminder that birthday is tomorrow so if you want a b-day art trade let me know and I’ll get on it soon, also, I know I still owe a lot of people requests, if you’ve been waiting on one shoot me a message to remind me.

Hey guys, as some of you may know I'm turning 23 on the 30th and like last year I'd like to humbly ask something of you so here it goes; draw something! It can be a tracing of something I've done, it can have my characters in it, or something totally original, I just love to see what you can come up with! The only rules: 1) don't spend a ton of time on it, 15-20 minute pencil sketches are fine. 2) No judgement! I don't care what your skill level is, drawing is a fun way to release stress and nothing here is going to be critiqued, only appreciated. 3) HAVE FUN! Thats why we're all here. And if you'd like to get something out of it for yourself I'm always open for art trades

Hey hey, I’ve dropped off the world again! I’ve been having some automotive troubles, my dodge Dakota was no longer able to meet my needs so I sold it to my cousin (she’s wanted it since I got it three years ago) but now I’m stuck with my old super shitty Silverado. I’m in the process of buying an F-150 and I’m really looking forward to not having towing and transmission issues like the dodge had or a plethora of mechanical issues like my Silverado has (I got it for $400 so I’m not surprised it’s not perfect). Once this whole shebang has passed I’ll get back into drawing

I want to draw a Halloween pic but I don’t just want to draw a costume birth or a belly painted like a pumpkin, I’m will to include those but I’d like to do something a little more original, any ideas? Keep in mind I can realistically only get 3 characters on a page

So I’ve got a bit of a story here, a user on Derpibooru used my mlp oc, Renai, in a comic they’re commissioning, to my surprise this comic is focused around Renai going to an mpreg clinic to unlearn her bigoted ways. I asked what the point was to it and I was told I’m a bigot for not drawing enough mpreg, as you can probably guess this was upsetting to me.
I’ve been drawing a couple of my characters since I was in middle school and about 5 years ago I decided to share them with the world via deviantart, I also started drawing birthing pictures on Derpibooru and about a year later I discovered Furaffinity. This was a big step for me because Stella and Laurel in particular are a reflection of me and my personality so by sharing them I was really putting myself out there, Furaffinity has been amazing and supportive of me and I can’t thank most of you enough.
That being said I need to get something off my chest and this has been on my mind for a while but now it’s getting to be too much to ignore. I draw for free, I’ve never asked for payment for a drawing and I don’t feel I’ve ever talked down to anyone about their interests or identity so I would appreciate if I could go more than a week without being told I’m a dick for not drawing a request fast enough, or called sexist for only drawing female characters in the majority of my drawings, or being told I’m a bigot for not drawing mpreg. I’m just a mediocre pencil artist who works too many hours for an unappreciative employer and does his best to care for my senile grandparents and I draw to release stress, so please don’t make this stressful for me.
I’m not saying I don’t want to hear from you guys, I love working on your requests and I love being part of this wonderful community, I just needed to get this out there. If you guys want to talk to me about requests, art, trucks, animals or whatever I’m always available here and my discord is Warrior9971#8984
Again, I don’t mean for this to be a deterrent from approaching me, it’s fine if you have questions about your request of what I’m willing to draw and why just so long as it’s respectful which hasn’t been a problem for most of you

 Wollens and I are doing a little collaboration comic and we'd love to get some more people in on it, no skill necessary, we just want to interact more with other birth lovers! Let me know if you'd be interested!

Hey dudes and dudetes,
I was hoping you guys could help me out, I want to buy a pic of Stella going into labor and giving birth in her boat while out fishing, could you refer me to some good artists who are willing to draw birth?
