Skinners remove the skin of animals... Texture artists create texture maps for 3D games.

Textures? No, a texture is something in the real world that gives something an embossed feel or appearance. A texture does not literally exist in a digital world.

Digital representations of actual materials are what are applied to the digital depictions of polygonal shapes composing figures and icons in an electronic setting - Literally, they are neither skins nor textures.

Of course, that's if you're going to take everything literally - as you were. If you're going to behave like a normal person would, skinning and texturing are both homonymous jargon and properly used in the context of this thread.

Not really, says dictionary.com

texture

<graphics> A measure of the variation of the intensity of a
surface, quantifying properties such as smoothness, coarseness
and regularity. It's often used as a region descriptor in
image analysis and computer vision.

The three principal approaches used to describe texture are
statistical, structural and spectral. Statistical techniques
characterise texture by the statistical properties of the grey
levels of the points comprising a surface. Typically, these
properties are computed from the grey level histogram or
grey level cooccurrence matrix of the surface.

Structural techniques characterise texture as being composed
of simple primitives called "texels" (texture elements), that
are regularly arranged on a surface according to some rules.
These rules are formally defined by grammars of various
types.

Spectral techiques are based on properties of the Fourier
spectrum and describe global periodicity of the grey levels of
a surface by identifying high energy peaks in the spectrum.

Texture\texture artist is the correct form. "Skin" and "skinners" and any variant thereof is not.
