A pixel-art you, walking across your stream.
Custom stream art is usually a commission with a waitlist. PixelForge turns one photo into a recognizable walking pixel sprite — transparent frames and looping GIFs that drop straight into OBS — for a one-time $5.
Stream identity without the commission queue
Streamers know the value of a recognizable visual identity — it's why emote artists and overlay designers have waitlists. But a full custom package costs real money, and a new or growing channel mostly needs one thing: a distinctive you that can live on every screen.
PixelForge makes the mascot version of you. One photo in, and out comes a pixel-art character that keeps what makes you recognizable on camera — hair, glasses, the hoodie — as 16 transparent frames plus looping walk GIFs. It's the retro-game version of your face cam.

Where it goes on stream
- Starting-soon / BRB / ending screens: add a walk GIF as an OBS Media Source (set it to loop) and a tiny you paces the screen while chat waits. The GIFs ship with transparency, but GIF alpha is 1-bit — over busy backgrounds you may see a hard edge. For pixel art it usually reads as intentional; if it bothers you, layer the transparent PNG frames as an Image Slide Show instead.
- Overlay mascot: park the sprite in a corner of your gameplay scene — transparent background, so it sits on top of anything.
- Panels & About: the still frames make crisp panel headers and a matching About-section portrait.
- Alerts & redemptions: use the walk GIF in follow/sub alerts or as channel-point redemption art in your alert tool of choice — anything that takes a GIF or PNG takes these.
- Offline & socials: banner accent, pinned-post mascot, Discord server icon (a still frame — animated server icons need server boosts) — one $5 pack covers a brand kit's worth of small art.
Cast your community
The bit writes itself: sprite your mods, your duo partner, your most-subbed viewers. A row of pixel regulars on the ending screen — or a channel-point redemption where a viewer gets sprited into your overlay for the day — turns $5 into recurring content.
Shown: four real packs — the founder and his family standing in for your cast, one photo each.
And if you ever stream yourself making a game — the sprite is a real, engine-ready asset. Drop yourself into Godot or GameMaker live on stream; it's a great segment.
What's in the $5 pack
Using it on a monetized channel is fine — commercial use is included, no royalties.
Frequently asked questions
Add a Media Source, pick one of the walk GIFs from the pack, and enable looping — the sprite walks in place on a transparent background, on top of any scene. The still frames work as ordinary Image Sources.
Not really — Twitch emotes are small square images with their own upload requirements, and a full-body walking sprite isn't the right shape. This pack is for overlays, screens, panels, and alerts; for emotes, commission an emote artist.
Yes — commercial use is included with every pack, no royalties. Overlay art on a monetized channel is squarely covered; see the licensing page.
That's the point — PixelForge keeps the cues that read at sprite size: hair, glasses, facial hair, shirt color, build. Your regulars will recognize the sprite the way they recognize your cam frame. You get 3 free retries if the first pass misses.
Yes — one photo per person, $5 each, with their permission. Matching sprites for the mod team (or a redemption where a viewer gets sprited) all come out in the same consistent style.
