Etsy is in some ways a similar service to Fiverr in that there are a few ‘gigs’ on their platform where you can hire creatives to design various stream assets for you, including Twitch emotes.
Here’s a cool gig we found on Etsy.
However, the majority of the stream designs on Etsy are pre-made designs and templates you can buy, and there is a decent amount to choose from!
The prices and quality ranges but you can find plenty of great stream designs (including Twitch panels) on the platform. Many of which are very affordable.

Their main offering is pre-made stream designs and packs but they currently don’t offer premade Twitch emotes. However, if you’re looking to have custom Twitch emotes they are a great option.

If you do a quick search for “Twitch emotes” on Behance you’ll find some great designs, and if see something you like you go to the profile of the creative and see if they are open to doing custom work. For example, we found this designer who has some great Twitch emote designs.

#7 ArtStation
If you haven’t heard of it before, ArtStation is a platform where (like Behance) artists can showcase their artwork. However, the creatives on ArtStation are typically interested in the games industry, film, and entertainment.
Like Behance, it’s a great place to get inspiration for your own designs and also a pretty cool place to find designers and artists to work with to create your Twitch designs, including emotes.
A similar site that’s also worth checking out is DeviantArt where you can also find tonnes of artwork from incredible artists and designers. Many of which you could commission for work.

You’ll almost certainly be aware of Reddit but what you maybe didn’t know is that there is a Reddit for Twitch and there is even a Reddit for Twitch Creatives where people share their stream artwork and designs.
Some of the posts are from designs and they include information about their commissions, packages, etc. You can even create a thread asking for artists who can create work in the style you’re after.
It’ a great resource to tap into for Twitch emote design inspiration and to find artists too.
