        Welcome to Honeyed Clover, your one stop shop for graphics, thread layouts and post formats. We do it all, from formatting your thread to formatting your post, from making you signatures to making you obnoxious blinking bump buttons to put in your post. If you want it, you can probably get it here, regardless of whether or not you see a sample on this page. Be bold: Ask for a first-time item!


Open for Orders || Closed for Orders || On Hiatus
Bribes: Should be at least double the normal price of the order.
Please note that for threads, this may be arbitrary.
The higher your bribe, the sooner I'll get on your order.

                    Well, I never thought I'd need announcements, but I do. Just goes to show. So. I am not accepting orders for threads until I clear the list of the thread orders I currently have. If you'd like a thread, please be patient and wait. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

First of all: Scroll all the way down to the "Honeyed Gray" post. Read about Betsy. Scroll back up to the "Honeyed Rules" post. Continue reading.

Obey the ToS. This is a staple rule. You agreed to adhere to it when you signed up for Gaia. Why I feel the need to reiterate is beyond me.
Laugh at Gray when she does stupid things. It amuses her.
Frolic in this thread like a sparkling vampire in Forks. But don't bring sparkling vampires here; we like our vampires dark and dirty in this thread.
Bumps are liked; conversation is loved.
Don't redistribute my graphics and/or claim them as your own.
Act responsibly. If you're a douche, I'll ask you to leave.
Don't PM me. Post all orders/questions/concerns in this thread.
DO NOT send your trade until you have approved your graphics for order. Please. This is especially true of threads.

Threads include 5 posts, a "splash" image for the first post, and "header" images for the subsequent posts.
Base thread price (for threads with multiple posts) is 2000 gold. Subsequent posts have a 200 gold charge.
Pricing listed below is the price for that style of formatting.
For threads with less than five posts, pricing is 500 for the first post, 200 for the subsequent posts.
Questions about ordering a thread? Ask me!

Sample One
мooиligнт aиd мagic 2500 gold

Sample Two

Sample Three
1x1 Search Thread 1000 gold








Threads vary in price based on how graphic intense they are and how much formatting is required on my end. We will discuss pricing in detail after you place your order. Please note than pricing could range anywhere from 2,000 to 10,000 gold based upon graphics and coding.

Fill out these forms as completely as possible. Ask questions in the thread if you have any.
I will quote your order and give you a final price once I have reviewed it. This is especially important for thread orders, as prices for threads can and will vary significantly from order to order.
While working on your order, I may contact you with questions or samples of progress. All samples will be watermarked in some way so that you can't take the graphic and run at this point. Formats and threads will be screenshot-images with watermarks.
Convenience Charge: If you dislike the final product, I will make changes. However, these changes will cost you 20% of the original price. For example, if I make you a banner and you want sweeping changes made, you will be charged 500g + 100g (20% of 500) for a total of 600 gold.
Once the graphic is done and you are satisfied, initiate a trade for the agreed upon amount. Once I have received the payment, I will PM you with a link to your graphic, thread or format without any watermarks.
Please move your graphics to your own image host.
I may ask if I can use your product as a sample. You are welcome to either allow or disallow this. Note that if you allow me to use your product as a sample, I will watermark it with both your user name and mine to ensure it is not stolen. For threads and formats, this means I will screenshot the thread/format and watermark it.

User Name:
Size: as a general rule of thumb, I don't exceed a width of 500 pixels for a generic image
Font & Text: link me to a font from dafont.com and tell me what you want your text to say, if anything
Graphics: link me to the raw image; the larger the image, the better. I will not enlarge images as that destroys their integrity and makes them look ugly.

I Would Like a Custom Thread
User Name:
Theme: this can be something concrete—like honey and clovers—or abstract, like two to three colors. If you do not pick out colors on your own, I will pick them for you based on your theme and graphics
Posts: how many do you want and what are they? Included in the base price are: one "splash" image, "header" images for posts, and five posts total. Additional posts cost 200 gold. This should essentially read: "I want a thread with six posts." I tack 200 gold onto the base price of 2000g.
Font & Text: link me to a font from dafont.com. Tell me what the banner/header should say, if anything, and what the banner graphics for the subsequent posts should say. For example, you may want to change "Rules" to something like "Law of the Land."
Graphics: link me to any graphics you have that you would like me to use in banner/header graphics
Formatting: point me to one of my sample threads, or a thread you've seen that you like, and say "format like this." Based on how much coding I'll have to do, I will adjust the base price.
Anything Else: you can put notes here. Anything not covered above, put here.

Hey, what's up, I'm ShadedGray, but you're more than welcome to call me Gray. I'm 20 years old, and I've been on Gaia for about four to five years. I attend Michigan State University, and I'm majoring in studio art with a concentration in graphic design, just like 90% of studio art majors today. I had a brief stint with art education, but that didn't go too well, so I abandoned it.

I geek for calculus, typography, and Stargate in any form. I currently have over 3000 fonts on my computer (3577 to be exact), and I can probably name them all just by looking at them. In fact, I have so many fonts, that my computer takes between 10 to 15 minutes just to open the font folder. My favorite font is Fairfield Lt Std, which is an Adobe serif font that comes standard with Font Folio. It's gorgeous, really.

Before anyone asks, I actually have no great love for honey, though I do have a four leaf clover that I use as a bookmark. I've found two in my life, and one of them I laminated and put in my grandfather's coat pocket at his funeral. I'm a pretty sentimental person. I also happen to be allergic to raspberries (goodness knows why), but I eat them anyway. My favorite food is a strawberry cheesecake my mom makes with strawberry jello and actual strawberries stuck in the top with a gramcracker crust, and if you really want, you can make it and send it to me and that can be your form of payment instead of gold or items.

Currently, I'm growing out my hair for Locks of Love for a friend of mine whose cancer treatments makes her hair fall out. I plan on cutting it all off sometime in March, probably around my spring break. There will be pictures involved, and you'll probably see them. Speaking of pictures, have some! Because I'm vain enough to imagine you care!

I do all my work in the CS4 versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, though I have been known to break out Flash on rare occasions. Though most designers swear by Illustrator, I actually find it pretty obnoxious; it's a glorified word processor without the Word part. But it gets the job done, so I can't complain. All my work is done with the help of an Intuos 3 Wacom tablet whose name is Betsy. Betsy is the s**t, and you will not talk smack about Betsy in my thread. If you talk smack about Betsy, Betsy will talk smack about you, and you don't want smack from Betsy.

I download my fonts from dafont.com. It is almost as awesome as Betsy.

I collect Photoshop brushes like a drug addict collects needles. I don't know where half of them are from (probably dA) because I just download them off random sites.

All my stock imagery comes either from deviantART or AbleStock. I do adhere to a "don't ask, don't tell" policy about graphics you collect. I don't care where they're from or who they're from, and I don't want to know. If I don't know, people can't sue me. I also think if you're stupid enough to put something on the internet without a watermark, you're stupid enough to have it stolen and redistributed without your knowledge, but that's because I'm a grumpy, jaded old curmudgeon. I also say this from the place of having my art stolen. I've really stopped caring.

Think I've missed a credit? Tell me, nicely, and I'll add it.

No worries; this is great! I'm going to quote your
price as 5000 + 80 for the additional posts. Let
me know if this sounds reasonable to you.

Also: Do you want me to combine topics like
"questing" and "wants?" And what order would
you like the posts to come in?
