“Shitty jokes, shitty webcomic, try hard of a troll, should rot in whatever pit he’s sleeping in.” - Encyclopedia Dramatica Anon
Shaddai Prejean, known online as Shädman or Shadman, is a controversial Swiss artist and YouTuber that is notorious online for his pornographic loli/shota artwork and webcomics that often feature underage fictional characters from pop culture. Shadman's art can best be described as a mix between "

While Shadman's pedophilic pornography of underage fictional characters is bad enough as is, he is also known to draw pornography of actual minors (at the time he drew the art) including Keemstar's daughter, actress Dafne Keen, and YouTuber Sophia Totterman aka Lt. Corbis. Shadman's depravity has also led him to drawing porn of his own mother, who supposedly disowned him as a result.
Shadman is not just an edgelord parading around under the First Amendment for profit and fun. He is an actual pedophile who fawns over developing young girls and draws erotica of them to feed his pedophile fanbase. Yet for some reason, not only do people continue to excuse and defend Shadman's behavior as merely him being "edgy", but Patreon once even enabled him to rake in thousands of dollars a month producing grotesque pornography.

Shaddai Prejean was born on September 9th, 1990 in a small mountain town in Switzerland. His mother Karin is ethnically Swiss, while his father Thaddeus "Ras Cloud" is an African American reggae artist, originating from Lafayette, Louisiana. He also has at least one sibling, a brother. He presumably spent most of his childhood in Switzerland living in the canton of Aargau. Shaddai and his family also used to be super religious. Although currently an atheist, Shaddai himself used to pray to God frequently, even up to when he was a teenager. His father was incredibly strict in regards to religion as he banned many seemingly benign things in the house such as Harry Potter, The Simpsons and Pokemon, and severely reprimanded Shaddai and his brother for making a joke about God sucking while saying graces before dinner. Shaddai also once attempted to forge his father's signature for his poor grades to prevent his father from seeing that he flunked. He was brutally beaten as a result. Clearly this would give Shaddai daddy issues which would no doubt affect him later in life.
Shaddai had an interest in art and video games. He never received formal art education, but began teaching himself how to draw from an early age. He aspired for a career in game design. Shaddai would not only create a physical art portfolio, but an online website as well called Shadbase.com. Shaddai did not have the normal educational background to attend university in Switzerland, nor did do the typical entry test to gain admission. Instead, he sent in some of his amateur artwork on his Shadbase.com website and was accepted to F+F School for Art and Media Design Zurich as a special case and could start after the summer. This made Shaddai incredibly ecstatic.
During that summer, Shaddai would explore the "darkest corners" of himself and begin to make "morally questionable" artwork that he would upload to Shadbase.com alongside his regular portfolio work as an "extra category". He would begin taking game design classes at F+F School for Art and Media Design Zurich after that summer. However, one day Shaddai received an email instructing him to go to a place off campus in Zürich to meet with school faculty. Shaddai assumed that this interview was something students accepted to the school the way he was had to do. However, instead of an interview with school staff, he was met with a criminal psychologist and someone from the justice department. Shaddai was told that after the risque artwork he uploaded to his site was discovered, which were considered "highly illegal", he was no longer legally allowed on the school campus. He was deemed a "menace to society" leading him to be expelled from the school soon afterward. In addition to having to report himself in to the police and pay a fine for his artwork, Shaddai was also caught with a larger than legally allowed knife in a police search and charged for that as well.
As military service is mandatory in Switzerland, Shaddai would join the Swiss army and was given the role of an artillery tank operator. Shaddai enlisted early in order to get his mandatory service out of the way. While doing his military service, Shaddai would start a military scrapbook and continue practicing his drawing:

On July 10th, 2009, Shadman would register an account on the entertainment site Newgrounds as "TheShadling", where he would begin to share his artwork. On October 15th, 2009, Shadman would launch his own website Shadbase.com. Shadman would eventually become synonymous with Newgrounds as a part of the old guard and become friends with many key Newgrounds contributors. On March 28th, 2010, Shadman would create his Shadman YouTube channel, where he would upload various art and drawing videos such as his first video "Shadman Painting Video - Busy day at the office!":
Shadman would befriend several famous Newgrounds and YouTube content creators including Zach Hadel/psyhicpebbles, Chris O'Neill/OneyNG, Cory Beck/Spazkid, and Mick Lauer/Ricepirate. Shadman would also feature alongside them as a guest on the SleepyCabin's SleepyCast podcast.

Shadman would often collaborate with the SleepyCast/OG Newgrounds crew as a background artist for their respective animations, which he either did for cheap or for free. The following are several examples of Shadman being credited for background art:

Shadman would gain extreme notoriety from the years 2016 to 2018 due to drawing pornographic art of actual children, including Keemstar's daughter Mia, YouTuber LtCorbis and actress Dafne Keen. More information on these controversies can be found in a later section of this OP. Dafne Keen's talent agency would retaliate against Shadman and get his website taken down:

The consequences of the Dafne Keen incident in particular would cause Shadman to panic on Twitter in 2019 about the future of his online career:

Despite all this, Shadman would still have his defenders.
Spazkid, who claimed that while he didn't condone Shadman's behavior online, Shadman didn't do it in real life and wass part of the Newgrounds OGs and synonymous with the site:



Spazkid would even defend Shadman when he was confronted about the Dafne Keen controversy:


Mick Lauer/Ricepirate, who allowed Shadman to live with him for several years, including when some of Shadman's biggest controversies occured, would also claim he did not condone Shadman's behavior but that Shadman's online persona was completely separate from Shadman in real life:

Elvis the Alien, who used Shadman's art for some of his thumbnails, would defend Shadbase.com staying up after Dafne Keen's talent agency got the host provider to drop Shadman's domain. He claimed that while he found the art "weird", he was more critical of the people who demanded the art rather than the website existing:

After this period of controversies that got him lots of backlash and even legal trouble, in May of 2019, Shadman announced on a stream that he would no longer be drawing pornographic art of children:
When asked where he had been, Shadman revealed that he was trying to move past his past persona, avoid trouble and do new freelance work:

This was a purely financial decision as Shadman's website and livelihood had been threatened from his past controversies, as earlier, Shadman was content to profit off of his cultivated audience of pedophiles on Patreon.
This didn't mean that Shadman would stop drawing porn altogether. For example, in June of 2020, Shadman would draw porn of Belle Delphine, which she liked:

Later that year in October, Belle Delphine would cosplay as Shadman, dubbing herself "Shadbelle":

This shows that even after all his controversies, some people were still fans of Shadman online. For example, StamperTV would continue to defend Shadman, even after all his controversies:


While Shadman would still have his fans, he would also having a falling out with many of his old friends who used to defend him. In October of 2021, Shadman would start to denounce and call out some of his former associates like OneyNG on Twitter:


Shadman also had a massive falling out with Spazkid, which can be seen in a Twitter argument the two of them had. It started with Shadman calling out Spazkid:

For many years, Shadman was allowed to profit off his pornography through Patreon. However, in April of 2018, following the Dafne Keen controversy, Patreon would ask Shadman to remove all content that sexualizes children from his website:


Shadman would post on Twitter about needing to adjust his Patreon on Twitter:

One way that Shadman attempted to bypass Patreon's request to remove all content that sexualizes children was to rename his "loli" content to "smoli" without actually removing it. This however did not work as Patreon still recognized that the income he was generating through them was still supporting loli work done on his website:

Eventually, Patreon allowed Shadman to create a second Patreon account on the condition that it wasn't used to support Shadbase.com. Shadman decided to use it for his Twitch channel instead. He would delete this second Patreon sometime in 2019. This was presumably because Shadman was making more money by selling posters of his artwork and t-shirts on Shark Robot.



Around October 16th, 2021, news had spread that Shadman had allegedly become addicted to heroin and opioids. These rumors were spurned on by Shadman starting to schizopost on Twitter, which was a huge departure from his previous Tweets. The speculation he was addicted to drugs was partially based on several Tweets Shadman posted with reference to heroin and images of his extremely messy room that looked like a crack den:





Another theory that was put forward as to why Shadman was schizoposting on Twitter was that he was trying to gain attention because his work had lost relevancy, his income was drying up, and he was struggling to pay rent in LA. As drugs were super common in LA, the assumption he was on pills like other creators living there was seen as highly likely. After a period of these rumors circulating, Shadman would go quiet on Twitter for a while until it was revealed on November 11th, 2021, that Shadman had been arrested.

>shadman is a meme phrase that is used within various different online communities to express a distaste for Shadman's artwork. The phrase is often paired with an image of a character leaving a room out through a door. A common example of this meme is with the character Winslow T. Oddfellow from the 1999 Nickelodeon cartoon series CatDog:

The expression is believed to have originated on 4chan in early 2015. The earliest known archived instance of the >shadman meme can be found in a 4chan /v/ board thread from October 25th, 2015, as a response from one anon to another anon's post containing a Shadman comic:

Despite many of Shadman's friends and defenders describing him as "offensive" but ultimately "harmless", there are several instances of Shadman pushing the limits of being a provocative edgelord deliberately trying to upset people as a joke and going way too far with his content, leading to controversy. The following are some of Shadman's most controversial moments:

In 2011, Shadman would draw pornographic art of his own mother and post it on Newgrounds:
As a result, this led to a rumor that Shadman was not only disowned by his mother, but also kicked out of the house.





Edd Gould was a British animator and the creator of Eddsworld, a web comic that would eventually evolve into a series of flash animations. Edd had been previously diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, a cancer of the white blood cells. Edd would tragically pass away on March 25th, 2012 due to this cancer. While Edd's friends, colleagues, fans and family mourned his loss, Shadman had something different in mind. A day after Edd's death, Shadman drew a picture of Edd being sodomized by the grim reaper:
This was seen as incredibly distasteful by many, including one of Edd's friends Thomas Ridgewell aka Tomska, who would block Shadman in response to posting his Edd art. Five years later, Shadman and Tomska would have an argument about Tomska blocking him because of the Eddsworld incident on Twitter where Shadman defended himself by claiming that he drew a picture of Edd getting raped out of "love":

On November 8, 2016, an anonymous user on Tumblr asked Shadman if he could draw a picture of Keemstar's daughter giving head to Donald Trump. Shadman shared the Tumblr post on Twitter and stated that he would agree to do so if Donald Trump could win the 2016 election. Keemstar's daughter Mia was only 7 years old at the time:

Three days later, when Donald Trump won the election, Shadman posted a picture of Keemstar and his daughter to his site:

This image was a compromise, where Shadman would post art of Keemstar's daughter, but not what was initially requested on Tumblr to avoid too much trouble. Although this image was not porn, it had overt sexual connotations and was posted on Shadman's lolicon porn website, which was an incredibly bad look. However, this gets worse...
This "compromise" image was actually just a "warning shot" directed at Keemstar. Shadman would unfortunately actually honor the Tumblr request and draw porn of Keemstar's daughter:
This private information is unavailable to guests due to policies enforced by third-parties.
Keemstar would see the initial image posted by Shadman and as a response, he posted on Twitter that he was going to call the cops:

One of Keemstar's friends Colossal is Crazy would also get involved and step in to confront Shadman for his behavior. First, Colossal would call out Shadman on Twitter:

Shadman's response to Colossal on Twitter:

This is a lie, as while the two are talking about the first non-sexual image Shadman posted, Shadman did draw the porn of Keemstar's daughter.
Colossal would then go onto Shadman's stream where he convinced him to take down the artwork of Keemstar's daughter.
Local Archive:

As seen earlier, Shadman's claim that he would never actually go through with making something explicit was a lie, as he did end up drawing the porn of Keemstar's daughter and Trump from the Tumblr request. This also would not be the last time that Shadman drew sexually suggestive and explicit art of children.


On November 18th, 2016, not even a month after the Mia Keem incident, Shadman broke his promise not to draw anymore loli porn and drew incredibly sexual and suggestive art of YouTuber Sophia Totterman, known online as LtCorbis. At the time, Sophia Totterman was 11 years old:
This private information is unavailable to guests due to policies enforced by third-parties.
The image contained incredibly explicit captions and a link to Sophia's YouTube channel in the description. The Sleepycast Subreddit would discuss if Shadman went too far with making the image on LtCorbis:

Link (Archive)
There was a debate in the thread, with some people believing Shadman's art of LtCorbis was innapropriate, while others defended Shadman with points like "he was just trolling/doing it for fun" and that the image had no actual nudity and just depicted LtCorbis "acting raunchy":


The defenses for Shadman somehow attempt to claim that Shadman's art is disconnected from reality while acknowledging that Shadman a) drew a real 11 year old and b) linked her YouTube channel in his Shadbase.com post of the image.



On January 24th, 2017, Discord messages of Shadman posting set photos of Dafne Keen, who played the character X-23 in the movie Logan, were leaked. In these messages, Shadman would caption one of the photos as Dafne "being molested" and called her an "irl spic loli" after watching interviews with her:
On March 6th, 2017, Shadman would post on Discord that he would once again see the movie Logan "alone" so that he could see "his girl" Dafne:

Only 3 days later, Shadman would post a set of pornographic images featuring Dafne Keen as X-23 getting brutally molested by Hugh Jackman on his website. These images even depict her as brutally beaten, scarred and covered in urine.
This private information is unavailable to guests due to policies enforced by third-parties.
These images caught the attention of Kiwi Farms ooperator @Null who was absolutely disgusted by Shadman's behavior and reported Shadman to Dafne Keen's talent agency.
As a result, this would cause Shad to receive a cease and desist from Dafne Keen's talent agency to take down the pornographic images of the young actress.

Initially, Shadman would claim on Discord that the issue was due to Roblox copyright infringement:

However, in a Patreon post, Shadman would clarify the Roblox claims were a meme and he would reveal that as a result of the report from Dafne Keen's talent agency, Shadman's dedicated server was confiscated by its hosting company which caused his site to go offline:

Shadman would also make a Pixiv post discussing his legal issues with Dafne Keen's talent agency:

Link (Deleted)
Shadman would receive a cease and desist letter from Dafne's lawyers, which he reposted on Twitter:

Cease and desist letter from Dafne Keen's Talent Agency:

Shadman claimed the actual issue was that X-23 was simply a fictional character but looked "too similar" to the actress rather than him drawing pornographic art of an actual child. He also stated that despite it being an "uncomfortable topic", as a US citizen, it was his right to make "degenerate cartoons" and he had committed "no crimes":

This incident would get the host provider of Shadbase.com to drop the site:

Link (Archive)
The takedown of his site would cause Shadman to think about how he wanted to proceed with his art going forward, especially since he was reluctant to take art down. He would even consider hiring lawyers to help his case:


On October 28th, 2021, Shaddai Prejean was arrested in Los Angeles for Assault with a Deadly Weapon:
The news of Shadman's arrest was spread on social media by the Kiwi Farms Twitter account:California Penal Code:
245. (a) (1) Any person who commits an assault upon the person of another with a deadly weapon or instrument other than a firearm shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years, or in a county jail for not exceeding one year, or by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000), or by both the fine and imprisonment.

According to legal documents, Shadman made bail, as he would return to Twitter on November 18th, 2021:


Chris Tyson is a former Mr. Beast contributor who is infamous for coming out as trans and divorcing his wife in April of 2023. Chris's troon out spurned an investigation into his past. One thing that was discovered was a Tweet where Chris mentioned that nothing gets his "knob a cranking like some Loli":

Link (Archive)
This horrific Tweet would lead to further investigation and showed that Chris Tyson was a fan and follower of Shadman. First, a Tweet from Chris showing that he purchased a physical drawing of Shadman's art was found:

Chris also made a Tweet claiming the Shadman drawing he owns is a centerpiece in his living room:

Shadman's artwork can be seen in Tyson's house in a 2017 Mr. Beast video "Tipping Pizza Delivery Guys $10,000":

From here, in July of 2024, the Chris Tyson situation would worsen significantly as Chris's Discord messages where he groomed minors were leaked and he was kicked off of the Mr. Beast channel. As a result of this controversy and Chris's connection to Shadman, interest in Shadman was renewed, which led to the creation of compiled lists of internet personalities who commissioned art or interacted with the artist in previous years, known as...
