doug died

All that art of his on his gallery @ http://us.vclart.net/vcl/Artists/Doug-Winger/ down the drain.

What give you that idea? The sadder part is that they gallery cannot grow anymore.

Well, all that art down the drain 'cause now his gallery can't be updated with new art anymore.

That was just a backup. His main gallery is still up at http://furnication.bloobunni.com/images/index.html and the VCL link is still active

But with no one maintaining the ISP fee, sadly it is only a question of when / not if, his pages will eventually come down. But VCL remains up and continues to function. So what nonsense are you talking about? It only means we can't get anything new, but his illness saw to that years earlier. Shame that his roommates didn't discover any new items that could be added to a memorial site.

Who's Doug Winger?

[groans] I'm surprised at you!
Furry artist. Look at this former gallery: http://us.vclart.net/vcl/Artists/Doug-Winger/

Never seen this gallery before

Another gallery of his art can be found at: http://furnication.bloobunni.com/images/index.html

not know why. I had no idea he was ill.
He will be greatly missed!!!

I knew it, Vega killed him in cold blood!

HEY, COME ON! STAND UP!

GO FOR IT, MAN!!!

Then again, his quality of life was extremely poor! Damn it, we should have supported the son of a bitch!

What's that have to do with the death of Doug Winger?

I don't know, it kinda helps to blame his death on something.

No need for a fictional villain here. Put the blame squarely on SMOKING and COPD.

oh damn! Really? Dang that sucks...

I'm sorry to hear that.

Pretty sure he was born in 1955...

I was going by where it said at the first site I saw it at.

Oh well. Regardless, he's no longer with us, and he will be missed.

never heard of him but i'm praying for him

awww

well that sucks he will be missed!

I hope his work will live on!

Well, his fans will have to take the responsibility of doing that by drawing his characters in their fan art. I've done that when I drew James Hardiman's skunkette girls Lori Onyx and Natasha as Price is Right models for the 36th season premiere.

That's nice.

Cool. Thanks.

When someone important to you, be it friend, family member, or someone you look up to, passes on, it feels like there is nothing good in the world anymore.

To Mr. Doug Winger, I say well done, sir; you've had a wonderful run with us and we'll all miss you greatly.

"Tears In Heaven" by Eric Clapton was the only song I knew that should be a theme song for death memorials and such.

................................well fuck.

Wow. I grew up looking at his work. RIP buddy

Me, too. Mainly the ones of Minerva Mink he did.

Damn this...this is heartbreaking, i alwyas thought him as cool guy, he was one of the first artist that ahem introduced me to furry art. Hell if i know about Minerva Mink is thank to him, sinc ei was exposed to the character through his art before i actually even watched an Animaniacs episode(in italy they were aired with a pair of year gap from USA). I dicovered furry art then rule 34 then deviant art. And all thank to him. While i never completely appreciated all of his artwork, I ejoyed some of his pun, as well as liking his good mood and humor about the furry art, too much time people take things too seriously.
And..and...and i thought he would be around for some more time.
But deep down i feare dthis moment since his art output started to dwell...


It Is the end of an era.

v.v

I got another song to pardon our sorrows and farewells for Doug Winger.

This is for you, Doug, I shall miss you a lot. (sniffs)

Hmm. I hadn't thought of that one.

It's okay. I used it to put in loving memory of my Grandma and my Aunt who died this year and last year.
Here's my hugs to you for his passing. (hugging you) May he rest in peace.

This sucks! he was a great artist

Those never even crossed my mind, either. I was only going for real, normal songs done by normal artists. And Tears In Heaven was the only tune that fit mournful moments for deaths/memorials.

me and Doug Winger had some histrey .not spoken too hem sances o5 or 06. hes the Genesis behind some of my work and ive not had the money too pay some 1 too make me a cgi head modle of that dog girl of hes the horse ad mnirva mink. i know a guy that can do tham for me but not had the money;) .i can do the bodys and dicks but i cant do the heads my salf..i thout he get fead up and wacked off and because I had seen have ordered from him in years didn't know he was ill.

I had NO idea he died 2 months ago How did he die????? Also, who is going to continue his art?

COPD killed him. I'm sure there'll be other artist who will carry on his tradition. Am I right, guys?

damn.......

I'm going to miss Doug because he was a nice man that made Pandora

RIP Doug Winger. I didn't know he had died.

RIP Doug

Wow...i feel slow now learning of his death...
