😘 Happy HUMP DAY! This Week's Artistic Nude Photography Plus NSFW Community Updates!

🐪It's Wednesday...

so welcome to another one of my Hump Day NSFW report.

_{The History: As many of you know I used to participate in most of the NSFW photography contests sponsored by the Whaleshares Community as it was really the only place to showcase any kind of art (photography or other mediums) that contained nudity on Steemit where it could be fairly discusses in a mature manner. Once those contests ended I gradually stopped posting anything that needs to use the "NSFW tag" since there is limited support for this type of photography and art here on Steemit. The conversation around NSFW content was recently reignited with the announcement of the VICE and DPorn platforms getting ready launch this summer. In a couple of months from now we will have a place to showcase our work and build an artist community where it will be appreciated.}

Today's images are once again from a series of photoshoots taken by two sister models I photographed last year. The photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 using a 50mm f1.8 lens and used the natural sunlight passing through the vertical blinds to illuminate the model's body. This created some interesting contrasts and in light and shadow for really interesting and dramatic photos.

As i mentioned before, we have been planning for more photoshoot sessions in the coming months as we move into summer and scheduling works out better. We have some really cool ideas in the works that will hopefully be ready for my first posts on the upcoming VICE platform.

Only the natural sunlight coming through the window was used in these photos and the white balance was set to "partial shade / cloudy" to help enhance the warm tones.

Let's get into the weekly updates...

📢 VICE UPDATE

VICE continues on schedule pushing towards it's release date on June 28 with a rapid series of announcements over the last 3 week. Following partnership announcements with Playboy Entertainment and Penthouse, VICE has announced a rapid series of exchange listings for the pre-launch Vice Industry Token (ERC-20).

There is an official call for witnesses to help launch the VIT Network which has been posted on their website. Simply fill out the form to get an invite to the discord for more information. As a long time supporter of original NSFW content here on Steemit and of the VICE project, as well as coordinator of the upcoming VIT Show we will be hosting on the Whaleshares server starting next week... I have decided to go all in and apply for an initial witness spot as well. Hopefully a team of cooperative initial witnesses who plan to put the success of the platform ahead of personal gains will come together in the coming weeks to help launch the new chain. I will keep everyone up-to-date as I learn more.

The "rough" testnet is up and running, which basically means a successful clone of the STEEM open source code has been set up, lightly re-branded, and is up and running for the devs to go to work on modifying to include all the features they want to build into the new platform. Over the next 2 months we will see the site evolve into its final form before launch.

The VICE Token crowdsale ended on March 20 and it's time to claim our tokens to your Ethereum wallet. The process has been posted in a very clear tutorial on their blog. The refund period is open until June 28th, 2018, should you want to back out, otherwise follow the steps in the blog post. It's super quick using the "claimAllTokens" function and will cost roughly $1.25 in ETH Gas Fees.

REMINDER: You have to keep your crowdfund tokens in your same ETH wallet in order to receive the 50% bonus. So if you move out tokens to sell in the pre-markets you will lose that bonus.

📢 DPORN.CO UPDATE

DPorn is moving along with its development schedule according to the latest posts on the official @DPorn blog and the first videos are being upload using the new platform interface. It is great to see things coming together with this project and in my opinion there is plenty of room for both VICE and DPorn to coexist peacefully as a win-win to original content creators and those who support them.

PORND token rewards are starting to payout now, but you have to register your bitshares account wit hDPon in orde to receive benefits.

Only Verified transfers will be made. Please, send a min. of 1 PornD , Or BitShares to sorenman1 on Bitshares . In the memo field, write your discord name and SteemIt handle. We'll start the process manually, but move to an automated bot in discord at a later date.

The active community in their discord continues to grow with members launching NSFW contests to help bring people together before the platform is launched which is really awesome! Weekly NSFW challenges by @persefone and supported by @fucktime continue to promote ORIGINAL NSFW Content, and is currently finishing week 3.
