The controversial figure has always been photographed online wearing a mask or face covering and has built up a reputation for his illustrations of loli and characters like Elastigirl.
EXPLICIT ARTWORK
Loli is a form of Japanese manga or anime that is sexually explicit and uses cartoon characters who are underage.
Shadman launched his website Shadbase in 2009 and started his YouTube channel the following year.
But in 2019 he announced he was going to stop drawing loli and pornographic art due to the controversy it was receiving.
According to Sports Keeda, one website alleged that Shadman had drawn some of his artwork based on real underage girls.
It was also alleged that he made 34 pieces of art based on his mother.
The website also reported that he drew a 12-year-old actress in an inappropriate manner four years ago.
During the 2016 election, Shadman was widely slammed again after it was reported that he was asked to draw YouTuber Keemstar's underage daughter in an inappropriate piece of art with former President Donald Trump.
Keemstar threatened to call the police at the time, according to the outlet.
Shadman is reportedly due in court on November 19.
