Doug Winger Appreciation {Winger's Winter}
12 years ago
The Head of this Manor is the Horseagon.
SHOW APPRECIATION FOR THE GRANDMASTER OF HYPER; DOUG WINGER!!!!
Doug Winger is the man who founded the hyper fur community. He has given us laughs and joy and creativity (among other things)
As many of you may know, he has practically vanished from the web and his art is rare or little to be seen. The downlow is that Mr. Winger is sick and has a nasty sinus infection and is doing pretty poor. He doesnt get to enjoy much anymore.
So My idea is to give back to him what he has given to us!
Doug Winger Appreciation!
I am asking the community to draw Doug Winger pictures to show your appreciation or in Tribute to the man and legend the Winger.
Along with
pulsar 's help, I come to you the community as a humble Horseagon, asking if you would please pay tribute to Doug Winger.
I shall collect and amass all the pictures onto a USB drive and hand deliver them to Mr. Winger.
pulsar 's Journal: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5276530/
's art ideas to help out include the following:
""
The pics will probably fall into one of three categories. I'd encourage the artists to do one of the following:
1. The artist's character saying thanks directly to Doug.
2. One of Doug's characters in the artist's style.
3. The artist's character interacting or posing with Doug's character(s), like the one I did. ""
Pulsar 's EXAMPLE : http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11890515/
""It would be cool if people could come up with a little jokey tagline the way he does his pics. If people can supply what they want to say, I'd be more than happy to do the final formatting, setting the type in the same way he does it in his pics, as a nod to him, and for some consistency. Even if they don't, I'm happy to do this anyway, just to put the artist's name on there, and Doug's usual copyright info if they draw one of his chars. ""
IF WE, AS A COMMUNITY, COULD AMASS AND SPREAD THE WORD, I AM VERY SURE DOUG WOULD BE OVERJOYED AT THIS GIFT FROM THE COMMUNITY.
IF WE COULD ATTEMPT TO GET IT TO DOUG BY CHRISTMAS DECEMBER 25TH I THINK THAT HE WOULD HAVE A HOLIDAY GIFT THAT HE COULD NEVER FORGET. I WANT TO MAKE THIS TRIBUTE TO DOUG THE BEST THING THAT THE FURRY COMMUNITY CAN GIVE TO A FOUNDER OF THE FANDOM.
LET US MAKE DOUG'S HOLIDAY SEASON THE VERY BEST!!!
Here's Hoping!

Otherwise, I've done what I can to spread the world for support for this: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5274889/
I am significantly interested in this project you have come up with. I am most excited by the idea of you personally delivering the results to Doug; you will provide what we have all been desperately needing: a credible source of information on Doug's status and what we, his fans, can do to help.
If you can, find out what we can do for him. Find out if he is sitting on a treasure trove of artwork; I say this not out of greed (okay yes out of greed) but if he is sitting on a fat pile of goodies, he can raise any money he might need through sale of this collection. Sketches or unfinished work dating back to 1996 or further; Unposted art of any kind; Finished works from the last several years that simply are not posted on the internet. Let us know what there is and if he is willing to let us see it; especially if we can pay him for the access, that way he can get the cash he probably needs and we can get the artwork that we so achingly desire.
I think I should do a pic for him ^__^
