Twitch downscales them from the uploaded aspect ratio, so you need to ensure it's visable for a variety of different window sizes (PC, mobile, TV) and expressive enough to get what you want across. Those fucking Panda's, in part due to the minimal brush work and colours (white and black) just stand out tenfold on Twitch. I'd argue his emotes are on par with Pepe with establishing meta expressions you see across the platform, such as the holding heart and joyful arms.
So when you factor in that some channels have 40+ slots to use, having an artist you can depend upon to in essence, support your channels entire brand appeal. It becomes a very demanding market place.
It's why I've already gone ahead and documented what small artists I'd want to commission if I somehow get past the auditions stage of Holo/Niji
