What a beautiful way to say goodbye. Thank you, Midi Jazz.

Ricky Java

I am glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Ricky Java

I appreciate your kind thoughts. I am hopeful my health will improve too.

Midi Jazz

Thanks for all the awesome boobies that I took pleasure in touching myself to...

I'm sorry to hear about your troubles, Ricky. I hope some time away will help you recover.

QUR0KED

Thanks for everything. You will be missed!

ShadowEntity

Great news! Now I won't go rampaging through all your image posts. ;-)

MaxBigfoot

Thanks for asking. The answer is: Yes.

Ricky Java

I forgot to ask, Ricky, are you going to make a zipped archive for this year's work, as well?

MaxBigfoot

Thank you. I often struggled for the right words for the images, so I especially appreciate your kind words, Michael.

Ricky Java

Thank you, Naglafar. Very kind of you.

Ricky Java

Thank you, Ethan.

Ricky Java

One thing that is rarely mentioned, is that as a wordsmith you are very talented as well. I know that many of the sets you've done, for me, would not be nearly as great without the text you've included with them.

MaxBigfoot

I hope you will be ok soon. You are great artist.

Naglafar

I'm sorry to hear this and I hope things get better. We were lucky to have you for so long.

Ethan

Thank you, Bob.

Ricky Java

Thank you, Zeerol. I am sad to see this phase of my life end, too, and I know I will always cherish the warm memories of posting new work and seeing the reactions here on Patreon, especially from a very active and engaged Patron as you have been. I'm glad I could brighten your days!

Ricky Java

Thank you, Stephen, I hope it turns out to be a happy coincidence, and that you will enjoy your retirement as much as I plan to enjoy mine. I know I will miss your lively and thoughtful comments.

Ricky Java

Has it been that long? Wow, how time flies ... Thank you for the kindness and generosity. It has been a pleasure sharing my world.

Ricky Java

Thank you, Mookie. I know I will miss creating and posting new work here.

Ricky Java

Thanks for the generous thoughts. I do plan to leave this Patreon up.

Ricky Java

Thank you, Mikhal. I knew this would be difficult, but I am overwhelmed and at a loss for words.

Ricky Java

It's very kind of you to say such nice things about my work, and thanks for the good wishes.

Ricky Java

I appreciate the warm wishes, Bob.

Ricky Java

No tears, my friend. Though I don't expect any new work, I hope you can enjoy the body of work I'm leaving behind.

Ricky Java

Thanks for the kind wishes, Scribe, they're most appreciated.

Ricky Java

Well said, sir! The same for you.

Ricky Java

Thank you, Jim. I am sure you can understand the mixture of feelings I have at this point, but I am glad to say that has been a pleasure creating pictures and animations over so many years. Best wishes to you as well for a complete recovery from your accident.

Ricky Java

And I shall miss creating work to post here, Grayve. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Ricky Java

Thanks for your suggestion, but making a how-to video would have a steep learning curve for me at this point. I have built a text file over the years with notes to myself of how to do challenging things with Victoria 2, 3, and 4 in Poser.

Ricky Java

"... so sad that it should come to this ..." Thank you for your understanding and generosity.

Ricky Java

Thank you for following my work over the years, and for the generous compliment, whynot. Best wishes to you, too.

Ricky Java

I appreciate the good wishes for health and happiness, Lindsay, and thank you for your interest and support here on Patreon.

Ricky Java

Thank you for the very kind words and generous support, J.P.. I too am looking forward to seeing what the next generation of CGI artists will do.

Ricky Java

Thanks for writing, Richard, and thank you for your support on Patreon.

Ricky Java

Thank you, RC. This isn't easy for me either, but I don't see any other way. Farewell to you, too.

Ricky Java

Thank you, Mr. Poe. Best of luck to you as well!

Ricky Java

Thank you, Lucas. "Big, Bigger, Biggest". August, 2002. Ah, memories!

Ricky Java

Thanks, Jack, I really appreciate the kindness.

Ricky Java

Very kind of you, jat470, and best of luck to you, too.

Ricky Java

You are welcome, and thank you for the good wishes, s1des.

Ricky Java

This is the end of an era. Thank you so much, Ricky, for the amazing content you've created and shared. I've been a huge fan of your work for the better part of 15 years. More importantly, I hope that your health improves and that you continue to enjoy life.

Thank you for all the effort and time you have invested for our entertainment. People like you, who put such great content out over such a long period of time for almost free (longtime it was completely free) are very rare. Your style and quality is unique and will be unmatched. I wish you the best, get well again.

subzero666

Heartbreaking. I hope your situation rectifies itself. Thanks for years of great work.

I'm crying. I'm totally crying to see you go, Ricky! T_T

Trooper1023

I hope your domestic/health situation improves -- and thank you so very much for all the awesome arts you've shared!!!

Live Long and Prosper!

Paulo Post

My dear Friend, I'm very sorry to read this. I know the problem with health issues and I also think about Retirement as Artist. You and I we are ARtists for a very long time. Ricky, I wish you for your future all the best. I hope that your health will recover and that you'll enjoy the days and nights. Thank you for so many years with amazing animations and pictures with Breast Expansion and ultra big breasted Ladys! All best wishes to you, Jim

Amaz2k12

I shall miss youre amazing art, and hope your life and health improve! If you ever return I hope to subscribe again!

Grayve

Could you make a how to video so that we can see you process so that your art style may live on?

Eddie Ronan

On the one hand, I want to beg you to reconsider and keep working. But on the other, it's your life, and your decision; "thanks for all the fish", and enjoy yourself.

Gryphon

Ricky I've followed your work for many years. You are one of the greatest 3D artists around. All the best and enjoy your retirement.

I hope you enjoy good health and happiness with your family. Thank you so much for your talent and long years of creating great work. Every things "lives" for ever on the internet. Best wishes for the future.

Lindsay Smith

You're very talented... going beyond the sexy fun we've had with you... I'm surprised I never saw your name or work in Hollywood... I would like to think you have inspired a good many young SFX artists and animators to go on to great thngs... Thank You and Be Well!

J.P. Gordon

Thank you Ricky.

richard m

Man this is so sad to hear, almost heartbreaking. You are one of those artists that made me discover I'm not alone in this world and you are of course, one of the greatest of them all. I wish you all the best in your future life. Farewell Ricky <3

HektorPlasm

Thanks for everything! Best of luck to you in the next chapters of your life.

rtpoe

It's really sad to hear it, Ricky. I've been following your work since i first saw Big Bigger Biggest around 2003, and it left quite a impression on me. I would really look foward for every new picture ever since. I'm really glad i got to back you on Patreon, and i want to thank you for everything.

Lucas Mason

Hopes things work out for you. Thanks for all you have done over the years.

Jack Mack

Thank you so much for the many years of entertainment. Best wishes! You will be missed.

peesncues

All good things must come to an end. That statement still holds true. Thank you for your wonderful work. Take care!

s1dewinder

Best wishes and thanks for everything. Hope things go well for you.

Bob Partridge

It's sad to see you go, Ricky. I have to say, your work is some of the best I've ever seen, with classical and high fantasy beauties alike bouncing across the stage for all of us to enjoy, teats spurting as they performed. Thank you for sharing such fine work with us all these years, you have no idea how much you brightened my days with your efforts!

Zeerol

This is a bizarre coincidence. I will be retiring within the next 2 months as well. Its a shame that I wont be able to enjoy your work during my retirement. Anyway, relax and enjoy your retirement Ricky. We, your fans, will really miss you and your work. There has been nothing like it!!!!!

Stephen

More than two decade run? Wonderful works each one, and kept us wanting more. Thank you for sharing your world.

Squirrelkinns O. Cederblade

You will certainly be missed in the community. Health and family obviously come first though. Wish you all the best in your retirement!

Mookie Johnson

It will be a shame to see you go, but you have been a massive contributor to the community. Will you be leaving the Patreon up and running?
