Initial Release - v1.00

The very first post, and with it, the very first patch notes. Between commissions, I managed to squeeze in some time to work on the website and introduce a handful of improvements. Most of them are small quality of life changes aimed at making the site cleaner, easier to navigate, and a little more enjoyable to use.

The website has received a complete visual overhaul, introducing many new features that weren't available on the previous version. Some features or elements may still not function as intended - I'm aware of that and will continue improving them over time.

It may not be the most exciting read in the world, but every change deserves to be documented - so you'll find the full patch notes below.

Website Redesign

The website has been completely redesigned with a cleaner layout, improved navigation, a refreshed portfolio structure, and updated content throughout.

Added

• Complete website redesign featuring a cleaner layout, improved navigation, and a refreshed overall experience.

• A new Works section featuring five curated portfolio categories: > Vibrance - Skeb commissions and commissioned artwork. > Envision - Custom commissions and client projects. > Presence - Branding and visual identity work. > Expression - Personal artwork and creative explorations. > Seasons - Seasonal and holiday themed illustrations.

• A redesigned Services section divided into three dedicated categories, making it easier to explore the services I currently offer. > Skeb - Fast and flexible commission requests through Skeb. > Commissions - Custom illustration projects tailored to your ideas. > Branding - Logos, visual identities, and branding solutions.

• A new Branding Usage License, outlining how branding assets may be used after project completion.

• A new Privacy Policy.

• Three Vault membership tiers have been introduced and will soon be available for purchase through the official membership platform.

Changed

• The Commission Agreement (Terms of Service) has been refined and reorganized. Unnecessary definitions have been removed.

• The FAQ has been completely revised and streamlined from 11 questions to 4, focusing on the most essential information.

• The Portfolio has been redesigned to showcase a curated selection of featured illustrations instead of displaying every artwork.

• The About Me page has been refreshed with updated content and a cleaner presentation.

• Overall website structure, navigation, and page organization have been improved.

Fixed

• A layout issue that caused sections of the page to shift unexpectedly.

• Various minor visual inconsistencies across the website to improve the overall look and feel.

Removed

• The Commission Status Legend has been removed, as commission availability and status information are now maintained directly on VGen, the primary platform for commission requests.

• The Commission Workflow has been removed, as it provided little practical value and duplicated information already communicated throughout the commission process.

Roadmap

• Expanding the Branding service with additional branding solutions and packages.

• Closing the current Custom Commissions section in favor of Skeb, or expanding Skeb to offer the same flexibility currently available through Custom Commissions.

• More articles and guides covering licensing, chargebacks, commissions, freelancing, and the business side of being an artist.

• Expanded licensing documentation, providing clearer explanations of commercial usage rights and available licenses.

• Evaluate the future of King Club (may be significantly redesigned or discontinued).

And that's pretty much everything I have planned for now, or at least everything I can think of at the moment. Of course, plans may change as time goes on, but I think it's a solid starting point. One thing's for sure - the website already feels much better than the previous version, and I'm looking forward to continuing its development.
