If you’re down for making your Minecraft character cooler, a custom Minecraft skin is just what the doctor ordered. You know, the kind that reflects your taste, personality or in-game character.
And since we’re talking about being the coolest kid on the Minecraft block, a random Minecraft skin sourced off the web won’t cut it. Rather, you’ll want something custom, and the way to get a custom Minecraft skin is via a Minecraft skin commission.
Commissioning an artist to make a custom Minecraft skin for you is easy as pie. But that’s provided you know where to find artists taking on Minecraft skin commissions. If you didn’t know before now, then this guide is for you.
I’ve rounded up the best places on the web where you can commission artists to create custom Minecraft skins. For some of those places, I’ve even picked out the best Minecraft skin artist, so you don’t need to do any tedious researching. Let’s get to it.
Where can you get Minecraft skin commission services
1. Fiverr
If you’ve never heard of Fiverr before, it’s a freelance marketplace where you can hire people from all over the globe to take on tasks for you. One booming segment on Fiverr is the Minecraft Skin Commissions segment. Check it out.
There’s a literal horde of freelancers taking Minecraft skin commissions, and I can tell you from experience that some of these artists produce some drop-dead gorgeous Minecraft skins. How do you pick the best option for your Minecraft skin commission? It’s easy; just use my recommended list.
My top recommendations for Fiverr Minecraft skin commissions
Berune
Many Minecraft artists online are enthusiasts like you, not actual professionals who know the ins and outs of making a genuinely stunning Minecraft skin. Berune is one of the very few truly professional Minecraft artists available to take Minecraft skin commissions on Fiverr.
Her experience creating Minecraft art extends back more than nine years. That’s a lot, all things considered, and it shows in the quality of her work above everything else. With this Minecraft skin artist, you get truly customized Minecraft skins with all the intricate design bits required to make your skin stand out from the literal sea of skins on Minecraft.
I especially love the detailing that goes into Minecraft commissions from Berune. She’s the kind of artist to obsess over the small details everyone else would probably just ignore. And at $10 a piece for her basic Minecraft skin editing gig, her package is the true definition of value for money spent.
Notcatlil
The second Fiverr Minecraft artist on this list is surprisingly a teenager. In stark contrast to Berune, this artist lacks the years of experience and professional acumen that makes Berune’s Minecraft skin commission gig super.
However, for what he lacks in pure professionalism, Notcatlil, not-an-actual-name (pun intended), makes up for with sheer creativity and ingenuity.
This is the Minecraft skin artist on Fiverr you’d go to if you wanted an overdose of creativity and pizzazz in your Minecraft skin. His designs are usually of the cool, hip and trendy type. While I did say he wasn’t as professional as Berune, you can still expect top quality Minecraft skin commissions from this artist.
All that and more for a starter price of five bucks. That’s about the cheapest you can get a custom Minecraft skin anywhere, not just on Fiverr, and considering the quality you get for the price, it’s easy to see why this artist claims a top spot in my recommended Minecraft skin artists on Fiverr.
Goosyarts
Goosyarts is Fiverr’s choice seller for the Minecraft skin segment. And that’s a pretty big deal. You see, the Fiverr Choice badge is only applied to freelancers on Fiverr who’ve consistently delivered stellar work over an extended period.
That’s all to say that through the time she’s been accepting Minecraft skin commissions on Fiverr, Goosyarts has consistently delivered Minecraft skins her customers and even Fiverr love. What are the chances you’ll love one of her Minecraft skin designs? Well, you tell me after you’ve checked out her portfolio on Fiverr.
She takes third place on this list of recommended Minecraft skin artists for her because her base package, which costs about $10, only covers edits. That’s edits to an already made Minecraft skin you have.
If you wanted a design from scratch, you’d have to pay $15 bucks; if you wanted extra styling, including ‘premium shading’ and texturing, the price goes up to $20. That’s a sizable amount for a Minecraft skin, but I would say it’s totally worth it, given the quality of work this artist puts out.
Tootsy
So this is another Teenager on Fiverr offering Minecraft skins. You don’t get the almost ridiculous level of creativity or flair you would the first teenager, but what you do get is a Minecraft skin artist who’d go the extra mile to please you, and on a budget, I should add.
Tootsy readily takes edit Minecraft commissions for just five bucks. His standard package, which gets you a custom Minecraft skin made from scratch, costs just $10. And for that $10, you get unlimited revisions that allow you to tweak and change things here and there on your Minecraft skin until you get exactly what you want.
This Minecraft artist’s must please attitude also extends to how he communicates and handles the whole project. Expect to get prompt updates on what’s been done and also expect fast replies to your messages. It’s practically premium customer service at a five-dollar price point – that’s kinda unheard of in the business world.
2. Reddit
Reddit is a really large online forum, so it’s no surprise to see that’s there an active Minecraft community on there. And not just that Minecraft community, there’s also a dedicated Minecraft commission subreddit.
You can reach that subreddit by clicking this 🔗 link.
The process to commission a Minecraft skin art on Reddit is sort of different from the Fiverr Minecraft skins method. Since this is a forum rather than a shop as you want marketplace, you usually have to post a request first and then have Minecraft artists bid on that request.
Alternatively, you could scroll through the subreddit to see if you’d find a skin design from an artist you like. Minecraft artists on Reddit regular post pictures of their work on the Subreddit, and I’ve got to see some really interesting talent by just scrolling through.
You need to be careful when handing out a commission on subreddits like the Minecraft skins subreddit. Unlike Fiverr, where there’s a rather robust buyer protection program for when things go wrong, on Minecraft skin commission subreddits, there’s really no overt protection.
You can fall to scammers who can ghost you once they receive payment. To protect yourself, make sure to;
🏁 Check the profile of anyone bidding on your Minecraft skin commission request. There should have a Reddit profile that shows successful Minecraft commission deals before yours.
🏁 Check out their portfolio. Ask to see samples of Minecraft skins they’ve commissioned before
🏁 Use a payment option with escrow protection. PayPal is ideal for this.
