Shadman, Swiss YouTuber and artist infamous for his pornographic art and webcomics, has allegedly been arrested for assaulting someone with a deadly weapon. Shaddai Prejean, 31, is better known as Shadman or Shadbase in the online community. He is known for his artworks on loli and other characters such as Elastigirl.
In 2009, Shadman created his website, the Shädbase and Newgrounds account and he made his YouTube account back in 2010. He began gaining a cult following and meeting online friends ever since he launched his online career. He is relevant in the Internet culture even after becoming a controversial figure due to his art. Shadman isn't the only YouTuber making news for the wrong reasons. In July this year, Yoseline Hoffman, a YouTuber who slut-shamed a minor rape victim was arrested for child porn. In 2019, Shadman said that he had decided to quit drawing loli and pornographic art due to the drama he has had to be involved in. However, that might not really be a thing of the past as in a recent post, a Twitter user revealed "Shadman was arrested in L.A. for Assault with a Deadly Weapon. Good riddance." The user also shared documents of his arrest.

Several people on social media claimed that Shadman deserved to be put behind the bars. "Ladies and gentlemen, they got him. I'm surprised he got arrested for assault with a weapon and not for being a pedo," one user wrote. "AT LAST, THE WORLD IS SAFE," wrote another.
"Damn, this goombah kept up his edgy personality 4 too long and it finally got to him. Noob got owned FR FR. Shoulda used the genie lamp," one user said, while another wrote, "I mean he should’ve gotten arrested already for cp but I’m glad he’s locked up anyways."

Who is Shadman?
Very little information on Shadman's personal life is available on the Internet, but the Sleepy Cabin podcast claims that he originally resided in Zurich, Switzerland, and attended an art school. He attended the school only until they discovered that the work available in his portfolio was "highly illegal". He was subsequently expelled. Shadman then did freelance art before coming up with his own website in 2019. He was reportedly called a "menace to society" in Switzerland and he later moved to the US.
Shadman's videos mostly consist of drawings of fictional characters from pop culture. He stopped uploading videos in 2018, stating he would quit drawing vulgar art. Shadman has been criticized often for his politically incorrect art. For instance, when English animator Edd Gould died, Shadman drew an art of Edd being raped by the grim reaper. He was defended by some of his friends, who stated that his art was meant to be offensive on purpose.
Shadman is infamous for his art of underage girls called 'lolis', which some said were fictional. But he is also known for drawing pornographic art of real underage people. He has also made 34 arts of his own mother. Although Shadman claimed that he regretted making this art, he continued to post similar content.
Someone on Tumblr asked Shadman to make art of Keemstar's 7-year-old daughter performing oral sex on Trump. Shadman allegedly told the user that he would do it if Trump won the election. Keemstar is an American YouTuber and online news reporter best known for his DramaAlert channel. When Trump did win, Shadman reportedly drew Keemstar's daughter in a sexualized manner, following which Keemstar threatened to call the police. The drawing was later removed.
Shadman came under fire after he drew Dafne Keen, who was just around 12 years old at the time. He drew art of Keen being molested and beaten up. While some defended him saying that his work is tasteless on purpose, others slammed him and called him a pedophile and edge lord. Later, Shadman received a cease and desist from Dafne Keen's lawyers. On Reddit forums, sleuths trying to find his identity revealed he 'only ever takes photos of himself in black gear and black masks'.
