Looking For: Custom Background, Custom Layout, Custom Wolf-Sales Thread Artist(s)

Hello! I have three projects to do! Ideally I'd like one person to help me out but if you can tackle even one project then send me a message!

My projects boil down to this: A custom den background image, a custom den layout, and a custom-made wolf-sales forum thread with background if applicable. I'd like these projects to be quite large; price won't be a problem so I'm focusing more on quality.

About The Den Background

I've already looked at a few layout coders and they seem to use pre-made, simplistic backgrounds combined with different settings on the boxes and things to make the layout 'custom'. This is NOT what I'd like to do! I'd like a completely custom background image, drawn from scratch - as I'm sure no one else has thought up this image let alone drawn it in the way I'd like. This is the image I'd like to use for my den layout and wolf-sales thread, so it needs to be formatted as such. If I really love it, I could also ask you to reformat it to fit my laptop desktop.

So let me describe the image I'd like. Let me also note that I am a very proud Hufflepuff, and a Pisces. These are important to the image as they are symbolized.

Essentially, I'd like the image to overlook the shore of a lake (Water = Pisces), and on the shore is a wolf (Wolvden, also my favorite real animal) that is painted to resemble a badger (Hufflepuff's mascot). I'd also like Hufflepuff's colors (yellow and black) to be present in the forest behind the wolf. I imagine a dark forest and a yellow sky through the trees, but you're the artist so I'll leave that up to you. As long as the symbolism comes through, I don't care how the sky looks.

About The Den Layout

My tastes with this portion is very simplistic because there is so much going on with the background image. I just want the den layout to accentuate and blend with the background image. When I think about the layout, I can't see all of the details but I see black boxes with yellow, silver or white trim - whatever will look best - and yellow text. The text is similar to handscript font but feminine and clean so its easy to read. I would also like three boxes - one for an About Me, one for bookmarks I've saved, and one for special links (like the wolf-sales thread) with a short description. I also see the side-bar boxes like the chat being edited. Besides this, I will leave the exact details to you.

About the Wolf-Sales Forum Thread

As I'm sure you've noticed throughout this post, I am not great at making things look good. I can define different sections to organize and make it easier to read, but its plain and functional. But this is for a wolf-sales thread so it also needs to grab attention while highlighting the wolves. It also needs to be easy for me to edit the wolves' information. The thread would also include sections for me to introduce the thread and explain how things work with clear headers to divide the sections.

As to the wolves themselves, I need space for the wolf's image, their stats box, their markings box, and their price set-up (weaned pups and older will have an active trade so only the buyout price would be required, but young pups will need to be auctioned so it will need Starting Bid, Current Bid and Current Buyer sectioning). I'd like the wolf's image to be the biggest image. If you were to hold a ruler up to the screen, I'd like it to be about five inches long. That seems like a good height to me.  I'd like the orientation to look like this: Wolf Image -> Stats and Info -> Price with the sizes descending so the biggest is on the left and the smallest is on the right.

I'd like the colors to reflect the above-mentioned background image, as being a Pisces Hufflepuff is very special to me. I'd like that reflected in my wolf-sales thread to make it unique to me. The background image would need to be present to make this clear, and the text and things would also be the same options from the layout section.

Hopefully I've given enough information in each section to help an artist do just one project and still create a cohesive whole. But if you need more details or clarification, please let me know!

I know these are large projects and I'm asking for a lot. If you think you'd like to take one or more of these projects on, then please send me a message so we can discuss! When a project is done, I'll edit this post.
