Added 2016-05-16 13:23:34 +0000 UTCHere's a test shot of a new model, Sofia. She's still a work in progress, so let me know what you think.

I can´t complain if you don't want to do futa, but it would be amazing to watcha video where one of your super busty girls grow a huge cock and balls while "she" walks.

2016-06-11 13:13:31 +0000 UTCIn the interim, maybe a horny Butler finds a way to turn himself invisible and sneaks into the orgy with his super-busty Misstress of the house and all her friends. We can get the looks of pure pleasure without you needing to render anything but their stretched lips and gaping pussies.

2016-05-26 21:35:02 +0000 UTCWell, I can't speak from authority, but if the program you're using is anything like when I used Unity, you might just try to find a base model that is anatomically correct instead of the stick-on stuff. If money's the issue, just ask some Patrons to gift you some new ones.

2016-05-26 21:31:41 +0000 UTCSure, a scene of full penetration is relatively easy for the reasons you mention. But what about all of the other scenes?
Ricky Java
2016-05-26 21:25:28 +0000 UTCWouldn't penetration make that easier, not harder? You don't need to visually show a cock if it's buried in some beauties snatch, all you need to show is the portion of the shaft that didn't fit, and the testicles.

2016-05-26 21:15:28 +0000 UTCConrad, the main issue is technology. Neither of the 3D models I use, Victoria 3 and 4, come with integrated genitalia. The male figures I use, David 3, and Michael 3 and 4, are in the same boat. The stick-on workarounds have been difficult to work with and don't render well, in my opinion. Still, I keep looking for better genitalia in the Poser-verse and working behind the scenes. For example, I plan to try Lali's Bits for V4, though I hear that its morphs don't always play well with others. I could go on, especially about the challenges of portraying cum in 3D, but I don't want to bore you.
Ricky Java
2016-05-26 21:11:44 +0000 UTCIf you also would prefer to see her with a handsome and uber-hung stud, why haven't we seen any of your babes with a male companion for the last two years? Best we've had is a single image of Cynthiana kissing Myers cockhead.

2016-05-25 10:12:00 +0000 UTCThank you.
Ricky Java
2016-05-25 00:12:14 +0000 UTCI think I overdid the reflectivity of her eyes and the intensity of the light, so I reduced both. I think reducing the light intensity helps with the left side of her face. I cleaned up the upper edges of her eyebrows. I agree with everything you said about her lips.
Ricky Java
2016-05-25 00:11:56 +0000 UTCWell said, John. Thanks.
Ricky Java
2016-05-25 00:07:59 +0000 UTCMy sentiments exactly.
Ricky Java
2016-05-25 00:07:27 +0000 UTCThanks! Coming right up...
Ricky Java
2016-05-25 00:07:01 +0000 UTCAstronomy. It's a beautiful thing.
Ricky Java
2016-05-25 00:06:41 +0000 UTCI can almost hear her saying that. And she's got a good point too!
Ricky Java
2016-05-25 00:05:22 +0000 UTCGood!
Ricky Java
2016-05-25 00:02:47 +0000 UTCSofia's mouth is a bit smaller now. Let me know what you think.
Ricky Java
2016-05-25 00:02:29 +0000 UTCThank you, Muse. Always a pleasure...
Ricky Java
2016-05-25 00:01:46 +0000 UTCEars need adjusting ... hmmm. Too big, too small, too low, too high...? Lower eyelashes not needed... hmmm. They're grouped with the upper lashes, so if I remove them, the upper lashes would vanish too. Not good. Anyway, I shortened both by about a third. See my comment for Sofia Test 2 about her shoulders. And thanks for the anticipation. That's half the fun!
Ricky Java
2016-05-25 00:01:13 +0000 UTCThanks for the smile. I appreciate your forthrightness.
Ricky Java
2016-05-24 23:56:41 +0000 UTCLadies and gentlemen, choose your weapons!
Ricky Java
2016-05-24 23:55:59 +0000 UTCI was going for the high-cheekbone supermodel, movie-star look, certainly not gaunt. I recently saw an old B&W movie with Sophia Loren, and she was the immediate inspiration for Sofia.
Ricky Java
2016-05-24 23:38:53 +0000 UTCThanks for the itemized, bulleted list. Cheeks: I think the intense light from her left tricked our eyes. I reduced its intensity. Jaw line: Thanks, I agree. Lips: I agree and so made her mouth smaller. Eyes: My intention is a beautiful blue-eyed brunette. Neck: Slender necks are beautiful too, but I decided that Sofia's is a bit thicker. Face: Thanks. Breasts: How did you know? Figure: A ravishing, spectacular, hourglass, tight, toned, athletic figure is always welcome.
Ricky Java
2016-05-24 23:12:03 +0000 UTCNo worries, Muse. You raised excellent points and reminded us of great artists. Perhaps we can find a path between "art by committee" and the solitary masters, where interactivity can enhance the work to everyone's benefit.
Ricky Java
2016-05-24 22:55:11 +0000 UTCSnurge, thanks for your insightful comments. I think you're right about the lighting: I reduced its intensity. And I think you're right about BE and hardcore too: I plan to have more variety in the future.
Ricky Java
2016-05-24 22:36:28 +0000 UTCAs always, Zeerol, great ideas for future sets. Ah, Rosaline and Romeo and Juliet! What a threesome they made. And I agree that variety is important, even if I secretly wish that every woman on the planet had enormous breasts.
Ricky Java
2016-05-24 22:30:52 +0000 UTCThanks for your candid response. I made her mouth a bit smaller to avoid the bimbo appellation.
Ricky Java
2016-05-24 22:27:30 +0000 UTCThanks.
Ricky Java
2016-05-24 22:25:15 +0000 UTCInteresting... Her eyeballs are the default size for Victoria 4, so I'm guessing what you mean is that her eyelids are closer together than you like.
Ricky Java
2016-05-24 22:24:49 +0000 UTCThanks. I agree and made her mouth a little smaller. I'm glad you liked her veins, but I'm not satisfied with them yet.
Ricky Java
2016-05-24 22:20:56 +0000 UTCThanks for asking, Julio. Zeerol sums it up nicely: futanari is plentiful right now. I think I'll stick to my specialty, at least for now.
Ricky Java
2016-05-24 22:18:24 +0000 UTCOccasionally, I enjoy looking at futanari art, especially the work of Dimitrys, but I will leave the creation of such work to the masters of that genre.
Ricky Java
2016-05-24 22:14:40 +0000 UTCI too am surprised (and delighted) by the large number of Comments, and this encourages me to post more WIPs in the future. I hope that, together, we can make Sofia even better!
Ricky Java
2016-05-24 22:08:11 +0000 UTCRicky this looks like the largest response to any of your work. EVERYONE is an ART critic. Then again you did ask your fans for their $.02 worth. and quite a number of people (including me.) offered theirs. If anything this shows how much so many people enjoy your work. You should offer the opportunity for your fans to contribute their opinion on how you present your work. I' believe there's enough serious fans who, in spite of their willingness to offer their "artistic expertise" will be ever more willing to accept and ENJOY how you decide to present your beautiful subjects.
Stephen
2016-05-23 02:46:38 +0000 UTCYeah, i vote for futa, but despite all the futa porn arround there, i think that RickyJava will do a great job.
Juliocon
2016-05-22 20:18:38 +0000 UTCRicky put that up to a vote on the yahoo group, and the results were mixed. I, for one, wouldn't mind seeing the occasional futa, but there's a *ton* of futa porn out there as it is.
Zeerol
2016-05-22 19:55:10 +0000 UTCIt is possible that one of those days we will see some futa them here. Like if one of your supe busty babes also grow a huge cock and balls, or you are not interested in such fetish?
Juliocon
2016-05-22 15:32:33 +0000 UTCFrom what I can see is that SHE has a nice set... :D Lips may be a little to big for my taste but nice nontheless. Love the skin stucture and the veins aswell. Fantastic work as always.
subzero666
2016-05-21 09:54:11 +0000 UTCRicky, great to see the fans post so much text about what turns them on, but I prefer fewer words. . I love her face , but her eyes are so small for that beautiful face.
Case Green
2016-05-21 08:14:31 +0000 UTCI think that, from what we can see here, this should be a fantastic new set.
sawyer90
2016-05-21 02:37:22 +0000 UTCHonestly I really like the BE. I'm not too crazy about the bimbo lips but then again this just might be due to the angle and some of the lighting. Just wanted to put in some input and also thanks so much for your work I think everyone here is super appreciative.
ElGrandeCaulk
2016-05-20 17:13:17 +0000 UTCAs snurge stated, BE is great, but a wee bit of variety is indeed the spice of life. I remember that you did a fight scene with Juliet and a rival for Romeo's affection. You could mix something similar up with the BE. Obviously not a knockdown drag-out brawl, but something like a breasts-only shoving match, with boob-swinging taking the place of punches. Besides physical conflict, you could go for something more "courtly", like dairy industrialists and politicians arguing over boobs that double as desks.
Zeerol
2016-05-17 19:22:41 +0000 UTCYes, Snurge, you are right. Sorry I got on my high-horse. Kisses... Muse
Muse Mint
2016-05-17 17:25:04 +0000 UTCRicky, first off, thanks for posting some WIP stuff, always great to see what else you're working on. I think she looks great, I think a lot of issues people are seeing are lighting-related, like the odd reflections in her otherwise spectacular eyes, and the apparent gauntness of her cheeks. Also, the big bimbo lips are a nice change. I'm not sure what you have in mind for Sofia, but if I could make one wish it would be something different than BE. It's all you've done since you started your Patreon, and I think your subscriber numbers are suffering for it - they've definitely gone down. Have you thought any more about returning to your hardcore stories? I know you're concerned about running up against the TOS, but it's really not hard at all to find artists that have been on here a while doing far more explicit work than you've ever done, and they seem to be doing just fine. Some of them are thousands-of-dollars-a-month fine, so Patreon has to be aware of them. Whatever Patreon's TOS is, it definitely doesn't seem to be aggressively enforced. As has been suggested, you could always post the explicit versions somewhere else and provide links in your posts. I don't mean to keep harping on the subject, but I miss the stuff you used to do, and I just want to hear your thoughts. Maybe you've moved on from hardcore, maybe it doesn't interest you anymore, and that's fine, I'll keep supporting you either way because your artwork in general is just that good.
Snurge
2016-05-17 16:21:33 +0000 UTCRicky did ask us to let him know what we thought, did he not? Ricky's been doing this a long time, I'm sure he's more than capable of handling these few not-really-all-that-abrasive criticisms.
Snurge
2016-05-17 15:32:40 +0000 UTCGosh! I am amazed at all the comments on Sophia's face! Goodness Gracious! This is why art done by committee can not be done to anyone's satisfaction. More often than not, great artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo who were under the patronage of the Medici family in the Rennaissance where mostly left to their own devices and talents. I have to chuckle at the thought that any of the Medici would be offering their advice to Michelangelo as the the facial characteristics of his David. Another artists, Rembrandt, in his famous painting Night Watch had 18 patrons paying for the enormous 13 by 16 foot painting, but none of them had any input into how they would be characterized. Rembrandt took the novel approach of giving the patrons who paid the most the best representations in this famous artwork. Granted, we are patrons of Ricky, but I think it is more genteel to think we are providing Mr. Ricky Java the financial incentive to create what he does best rather than dabble in his creative spirit. I am sure he does want to please his audience, but I also know that he must follow his inspirations. I am a little disturbed at such abrasive tones and criticisms regarding Sophia's presentation. Let Ricky create his art. Let us enjoy that he does create it. Let us be Patrons, not artistic judge and jury. So, I say to Ricky, "Damn the torpedos! Full stream ahead!"....Muse

2016-05-17 05:22:12 +0000 UTC· Cheeks: as someone commented earlier, her cheeks are indeed non-identical; the left a tad gaunt. However, this does render her facial features more interesting. · Jaw line: a chiselled jaw line is most definitely interesting, new and welcome · Lips: unnaturally thick · Eyes: the turquoise iris, in stark contrast to the colour of her and eye lashes, makes her appear disconcertingly possessed - unless that is the intention · Neck: could the neck be slender? Of course, since the figure is not yet shown, the question can be difficult to answer. If, e.g., her figure is drawn to be visibly muscular or spectacularly toned then perhaps it would be alright. This is also a close-up. · Face (overall): There seem to be three colours at play, the colour of her hair, eye brows and eye lashes, the colour of her lip(stick) and the colour of her iris. · Breasts - yet to be seen: Normal, flat areolas. Let the characteristics of volume, shape, heft and fullness impress, not the areolas. · Figure - yet to be seen: One hopes for a ravishing or spectacular figure. Vara and Jonelle's figures were rather standard. e.g. Lara Croft's hourglass figure or a tightly toned figure as that of an athlete etc.

2016-05-17 02:34:44 +0000 UTCIt might just be the lighting, but her cheeks - especially her left - look too thin and gaunt. I'm trying to imitate that expression, and it's just too uncomfortable to suck my cheeks in that much.

2016-05-16 23:31:42 +0000 UTCThose LIPS!!! If its possible to kiss someone to death, those lips would be the weapon of choice!
Stephen
2016-05-16 22:31:32 +0000 UTCShe doesn't look bad at all, but I have no experience in rendering 3D models. So regardless of what everyone else says, she looks better than anything I can make! I look forward to more photos!
Brittany Bovine
2016-05-16 22:26:09 +0000 UTCHer ears look like they need adjusting. The lower eyelashes aren't needed. Her right shoulder is higher than the other giving the appearance of more lift to her right bosom over her left one. I'm ever looking forward to what's to come of her.
Stephen
2016-05-16 22:20:38 +0000 UTCI can see why you call her Sofia, Ricky. She has a marvelous look about her like Sophia Lauren. Great hair-do, earrings and beautiful blue eyes and ... um... a hint in this picture of a wonderfully full bosom! Can hardly wait to see her move. Kisses.. Muse
Muse Mint
2016-05-16 19:59:22 +0000 UTCThe lips are a bit too large for my tastes, but otherwise she's wonderful to look at!
Zeerol
2016-05-16 18:22:53 +0000 UTCVery Attractive!

2016-05-16 16:54:05 +0000 UTCSofia: "If I'm going to have to lug these monsters around day and night, at least have the presence of mind to admire them fully!"

2016-05-16 15:59:12 +0000 UTCCan't wait to see her full body!

2016-05-16 15:42:50 +0000 UTCHer lips may be a little big, but her eyes are awesome.
Calista
2016-05-16 14:05:29 +0000 UTCAbsoluteiy gorgeous! She has a mouth begging to be kissed and a face to make you walk without shoes over hot coals to get near enough to feel her warm breath in your ear.
beibdnn
2016-05-16 13:33:05 +0000 UTCEyes look very off. Possibly owing to light angle but they still look glassy. Division between the ear and left cheek/ side of face looks off, too pronounced. Eyebrows look a bit too thick towards the centre, looks slightly unkempt. Lips aren't presently fastened around a massive cock, giving some lucky stud a blowjob beyond compare.

2016-05-16 13:30:17 +0000 UTCLooks great so far! Can't wait to se more of her ;)
