Nothing I can put here can truly do justice to the great man, friend and artist our community has lost. On Weds May 3rd one of my greatest friends and art partners Patrick K. better known to most as UncleSickey passed away from cancer.
(Mike from Griffox Entertainment helped out by creating this music video montage for me, thanks so much for the help Mike!)
(If the video above does not load you can see it HERE)
I'm sure many of you might not have known him but what he did for the industry is one of the reasons it thrives today.
UncleSickey,"Lyno and myself (Loki) were the original 3D Artists that worked with the adult industry to turn 3D Erotic Art into a standalone niche as well as a commercial platform, the three of us launched the very first 100% 3D paysites back in the late 90's early 2000's and worked tirelessly for companies to take 3D content seriously, we went through so many trials and tribulations, worked many thankless (and sometimes moneyless years lol) fighting for our craft.
We fought piracy, shady companies, and even Visa themselves along the way (Lyno would remember the last part the best lol)
(The above image was ACTUALLY BANNED at one point in time because credit card companies and merchant companies said it depicted "prostitution" and IF the money was removed THEN it would pass)
Through it all UncleSickey was there either behind the scenes or out in the 'public' eye, both helping fellow artists and creating his unique (and way too big breasted lol) art, he was dubbed "The King or Interracial" although I always called him the "Boob King" lol.
(Anytime I gave UncleSickey shit about how big the breasts were on his girls and would ask WHY??? he'd always laugh and say "BECAUSE I CAN!")
Work and Industry aside, UncleSickey and I anchored each other, and we took turns on who anchored who more, ANY TIME one of us was ready to throw in the towel and quit making art, or trying to sell it, the other would be right there to knock some sense into the other, without UncleSickey I would have quit all this a long ago, and vice versa.
It was him who convinced me to re-launch the paysites years back, it was him who convinced me to make commercial add-ons, and him and I always dreamed that one day one or both of us could create our own models and clothing and whoever got there first would "have" to make stuff for the other, I always thought he would get there first, but it was me, and it turns out I got there just days after he passed away and I hadn't even known he was gone yet.
(Above is my very first character model made for G3F her name is "Paige" and I'm dedicating her to UncleSickey's memory because if not for his pushing I would not still be here to have learned how to create her)
Those who were familiar with UncleSickey's artwork might only think that he did the interracial stuff or giant boobed girls stuff, but he could always shock and amaze you, and create stuff you'd never see coming from him, these are a few renders I've pulled from his archives, many have never been seen outside of close friends and family...
I have pretty much everything UncleSickey has rendered over the 20 years or so we knew each other, over the coming weeks and months I'll be going through my archives and posting some stuff to his gallery here on Renderotica. they will NOT be appearing as "new" in the main gallery so if you're interested in seeing them make sure to bookmark his gallery and check there from time to time for new renders added.
I want to close this memorial out with a comment from UncleSickey, from an interview he did with Renderotica back in 2014 (Read the full interview HERE)
14) With all the recent advancements in 3D technology what excites you the most? What do you dread the most?
"3d printing excites me the most; and only for personal reasons too. I gave up doing my miniature wargaming hobby because the figures cost too much; now with 3d printing in a few years I should be able to reconstruct my Imperial Guard army once again. Just now, I’ll use all female guardswomen with big ass tits holding lasguns!
The one thing I dreaded about 3d has already happened; and that being our favorite little hobby and fetish (3d erotica) being swamped with shit pictures by hacks who wouldn’t know a render node from a nipple if you held a gun to their heads! So if you’re serious about making 3d a career and not just a happy past time; you will have to relegate yourself to explaining to non-3d wise people that not all 3d is shitty. Be patient and send a few samples of your best work (in fact, put together a portfolio of your best stuff; you never know when it’ll come in handy). It’s an uphill fight; but damn it, if you love doing 3d it will be worth it in the long run!
Now quit reading this bullshit and get rendering!"
That last line, sums up UncleSickey's sense of humor, sarcasm and straight to the point attitude to a tee, so as UncleSickey would say...
Quit reading this bullshit and get rendering!
Rest in peace my brother, you will forever be missed!
