With the new skin update enabling a "hat" layer all over, and especially allowing separate left/right arms and legs, skins have countless more possibilities than before. I've got the new 1.8 format totally down-pat, so I've taken to browsing the skins section of the forums for commissions.
Here are the guidelines for my commissions:
- Want a skin made from a character? Great! Supply a pic of the character's front (and back, if applicable) and I'll get to work!
- Want an old skin upgraded to 1.8? I can do that too. Supply the skin file and some comments on the upgrades you want.
- Want a skin enhanced? Made your own but not sure your skills are up for the quality you want? I can work with that. Post the file and I'll see what I can do.
- Please try to limit it to humanoid characters - I'm no good at making animal or mob skins ,_,
I'm on CDT (UTC -5) and on a school schedule, so I'll do what I can but more complicated commissions (don't worry, I need complicated commissions - I enjoy making awesome stuff!) won't get done for a few hours and therefore might come an entire night or even a full day after you submit them.
If you wanna see a detailed guide for the new skin format, simply follow this link to a thread I made for it: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/skins/2210920-instructions-for-1-8-skin-making
--UPDATE ON COMMISSIONS--
I did a detailed post about things on the second page of the thread, but here's the TL;DR:
No commissions right now.
Gonna fill my backlog, gonna take a while. How long? No idea, sorry. Gonna all be free of charge. And if after this length of time, you don't want the skin I've made for you, that's cool! Don't worry at all about work I've put into it only for you to not use it - I just want you to be happy! 
AFTER I FINISH MY BACKLOG I will update on whether I'm gonna start charging for skin commissions that have not been submitted prior to the update post. Happy Minecrafting!
