Fiverr houses affordable, and skilled VTube artists

You’ll find professional and dedicated freelancers taking VTuber commissions for fixed rates on marketplaces like Fiverr. If this is your first time hearing about Fiverr, just know it’s a freelance platform with freelancers from all corners of life, including the VTuber artists who take VTuber commissions.

I have a guide on hiring freelancers on Fiverr, so read that up if you want more information.

Why Fiverr for VTuber commissions

There’s a lot of reasons why Fiverr is great for commissioning VTuber art and designs but basically;

💰 It’s affordable, with prices for VTuber commissions starting at a low $5.

👨‍🏫 It’s highly curated and moderated, so you only see VTuber artists who’re insanely skilled and professional.

⚖ Fiverr has a famous review system that allows it to rank VTuber artists based on their performance with clients before you. Any VTuber art creator you see on the Fiverr Vtubing marketplace has a track record of delivering great VTuber art.

👮‍♀️ You get buyer protection which guarantees a full refund for poorly made artwork or poor service delivery.

👫 The VTuber marketplace is extensive, so you’re definitely going to find an artist to take up your VTuber commission no matter how unique, niche, esoteric or odd it is.

VTuber communities like Reddit

There are several VTuber communities on platforms like Reddit and Deviantart. These communities house VTubers like you, and some of them are open to taking commissions for artwork.

The difference between VTuber communities and VTuber commission marketplaces is that VTuber communities are first for interacting with other VTubers before they are for ordering VTuber commissions.

As a result, it’s not exactly as easy or straightforward to commission a VTuber artwork on these communities. There’s every chance that your request will be ignored.

Also, unlike actual marketplaces where there’s a review and rank system to filter off amateurs, communities rely solely on portfolios and vouches, all of which are easily faked.

What kind of VTuber commissions can you order?

New to this? Let’s quickly run through all the different VTuber commissions you can order on VTuber marketplaces.

VTuber background

When you start making VTuber videos, you’ll need a background image to complement your VTuber model. VTuber backgrounds could be anything literally. However, it’s a wise idea to make your background similar in styling and color to your VTuber model.

VTuber logos

Like any other brand, your VTuber brand deserves a logo. Logos are different from your VTuber model and the best ones, like backgrounds, incorporate some of the design elements of your VTuber model without being an exact copy of your model.

VTuber outfits

Your VTuber model should have a selection of outfits in the virtual world, just like you have a selection of outfits in the real world. VTuber model outfits are usually specified in the VTuber reference sheet.

If you don’t have a reference sheet developed, you can get one by using this link. If you want separate VTuber outfits made, you can also commission an artist to do just that.

VTuber reference sheet

A VTuber reference sheet is a design panel showing your VTuber model in all applicable views and poses, including images highlighting their facial expression, accessories, outfits and other extras.

Think of it as a visual summary of your VTuber model’s persona.

2D VTuber model commission

This is a model commission of your Vtuber model in the 2D format. 2D VTuber models are used mostly for VTubing. They’re cheaper to make but sometimes lack the detailed rigging that might come with 3D model commissions.

3D VTuber model commission

3D VTuber models are those made in the 3D format. They’re usually more detailed with better rigging that allows them to have wider, more lifelike range of movement.

Recommended artists for VTuber commissions

Like I said there’s lots and lots of artists taking VTuber commissions on platforms like Fiverr. You can head on to Fiverr right now and take a pick yourself. However, if you want a quick head start, you can use my list of the top recommended VTuber creators for VTuber commissions on Fiverr.

Foxis is a full-time professional VTuber designer with over seven years of experience creating VTuber commissions.

The quality of her designs and the attention to detail is just glorious. Foxis has created some smashingly intriguing VTuber commissions for some top names in the VTubing community.

At $2100 for her base VTuber model commission gig, she’s not a cheap artist to hire. What she is, however, is the artist guaranteed to give you the absolute best result if you care about quality.

She’s a Top Rated VTuber creator on Fiverr, so that tells you the story. Very few other artists up for VTuber commissions will create the kind of exquisite VTuber art this artist manages to put out.

Hire this artist

Xiao, like Foxis, is a Top Rated VTuber on Fiverr. Pricing for this artists’ VTuber commissions is however a lot cheaper than what you get with Foxis.

If you wanted a slice of the best and can’t afford the neck crunching rates of Foxis, Xiao is the next best thing as far as excellently done VTuber commissions go. His work, like Foxis,’ exudes quality.

So you get top-draw designs and superb character rigging. He’s particularly skilled with Blender and Unity for 2D character creation and rigging. Expect excellent texturing and near lifelike movement for your VTuber model designs.

Detailing is also great, although not exactly at the same level as Foxis. For the price, it’s a no brainer, really as very few other artists on Fiverr and anywhere beat this quality of VTuber designs at or near the price point of Xiao’s VTuber commission service.
