So you need a VTuber background for your VTube stream? How do you find one that’s everything you’ve imagined and then some? Well, it’s not that difficult. VTuber backgrounds are everywhere online now. You just need to know where to look and how to get one for yourself.
Where to get VTuber backgrounds
There are two ways to get a VTuber background:
📍 On free download websites
📍 Or with VTuber background commissions
Free download websites for VTuber backgrounds
Free download websites allow you to download VTuber backgrounds for free!
The best ones are communities like Deviantart, Artstation and personal download websites like Booth.pm.
Check out the free download segment of Deviantart 🔗 here
Check out the free download segment of Artstation 🔗 here
Check out Booth.pm’s custom VTuber background assets 🔗 here
With these sites, you get:
✅ Free, easily downloadable art.
✅ No wait times.
The only issue is VTuber backgrounds from these sites are not exactly custom VTuber background art, and that means they’ll be:
⛔ Generic.
⛔ Used by others.
⛔Not tailored for your needs.
If you want something custom-built for your VTuber persona, you need a VTuber background art commission.
VTuber background commissions
VTuber background commissions get you custom-made VTuber backgrounds from seasoned VTuber art creators on market places like Fiverr. When a VTuber background is custom-made for you, it’s:
✅ Better quality, not the generic VTuber backgrounds that lack character and detailing.
✅ Bespoke to your needs, so expect matching colors and design to your VTuber model and overall VTubing theme.
✅ Unique to you, so there’s no chance of ever coming across another VTuber using the same VTuber background.
VTuber background commissions are the best option for anyone serious about their VTubing journey. If you’re looking to get into VTubing professionally, it’s important that you custom-build your VTuber background and other VTube assets.

Concept artist, 2D/3D modeler and vector art specialist, Insirra is just what the doctor (read; movie director) ordered if you’re looking to get some really cool VTuber background commissioned.
Her experience creating VTuber backgrounds goes back more than seven years. Since 2015 she’s has created countless VTuber backgrounds and other VTuber assets for some of the top names in the VTuber world.
Her work stands out for just how well she’s able to play around with colors and the insane amount of detailing that goes into each piece. Insirra is a photorealist by trade so expect some really detailed realism infused into your VTuber background.

Minigc
Creativity and an innovative mind are critical to creating stunning VTuber backgrounds, and this artist is brimming full with both.
He’s my go-to VTuber artist when all you need is a truly distinctive VTuber background, something that stands out from the crowd and is capable of giving your VTube stream a unique vibe.
I especially love he manages to create engaging designs with what many might call flashy colors. For this VTuber background creator, they’re not flashy at all. With some excellent implementation of color theory and sublime application of texturing and shading, Minigc makes even the most Neon of colors relatable.
Are you looking for a special piece of high definition background art that catches the eye on first viewing? Minigc is the perfect VTuber background creator to take on that commission.
At $90 per piece, his work is also fairly priced. And for the best part, you get custom animations included in the background at no extra cost. How cool is that?
S_novaaa
If you’re looking for something simple, a background that just fades into the background (pun intended), then Nova is the VTuber background creator of choice. Unlike the other options on this list of recommended VTuber commission services, this artist keeps everything simple.
No complex layouts, not so much of extras and customizations, just a nice cutesy VTuber background with minimalist design elements and a color scheme to match your overall VTubing theme.
For some Vtubers, this is the design style that works, and if you’re that type, then yeah, Nova is the artist to pick for your commissions. Even better for you, this VTuber background commission service is very affordable, more affordable than the other options on the list.
Her base package for a single VTuber background costs just $15, which is a more than fair price for a custom made VTuber background with custom design elements and styling.
