Open up SkinStudio and dig in mate.

Anyone can be a skinner. All it takes is making a skin, it doesn't even have to look nice.

You could talk to the stardock design crew, they make custom skins.

Requests are rarely done for free though, because it takes a huge lot of work to make a skin. And my own experience with cutstomizing peoples computers is that anyone doing a free request expect just as much perfection as those who pay good money for it...

From an artistic point of view it's way better for a skinner to stick to doing their own things....

And to get you started, Z71 has a WB uploaded that he's made open source, 3nvir0, https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=6715&libid=1  

All he asks is that you modify 50% of the skin, so 50% of your work is already done for you!  There is no better time to start skinning than now.

If you got it the day it was released then you've played it an average of 141 times a day.............impressive.........

6 times an hour...if you didn't sleep all month........How did you manage to eat, intravienously?

hehe, good one troll.

would you be willing to put in 40 hrs for $8.00?

i think maybe you're confusing skins for sale (those purchased by anybody) with a custom skin.  A custom skin would be one designed for you.  A one of a kind skin that no one else would have.

$8 for a custom skin woud be really cheap - if it took only 40 hours would mean you willing to pay $0.20 an hour for a one of a kind skin

I'm thinking the only place to find someone willing to work for $0.20 an hour would be in a really under developed part of the world and probably wouldn't be able to afford a conputer and/or internet access so will never see your request

on the other hand, maybe a skinner will mull it over and decide to some day give the theme a shot
