Artist turns Pokimane into the stuff of nightmares in viral artwork

By Shreyan Mukherjee Modified 29 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Fans troll artwork depicting Pokimane (Image via Sportskeeda) A digital artist named Sc*m_art has gone viral after posting a caricature-like portrait of popular Twitch streamer Imane "Pokimane." In the post, the Moroccan-Canadian streamer can be seen adorning a fairy-themed dress that she shared on social media the previous day. For context, Pokimane, along with two other creators, namely Rachell "Valkyrae" and Jaime "iGumdrop", shared snaps of the group in what appeared to be a fairy-themed tea party. scum@scum_artIt took me like 3 hours to finish the shading on the upper lip @pokimanelol657693It took me like 3 hours to finish the shading on the upper lip @pokimanelol https://t.co/oCgerygS0a Following the release of the picture, the aforementioned artist decided to take inspiration from the post and create a portrait capturing Imane's face.

For those unaware, in the film, the protagonist attempts to draw a portrait of his love interest. According to multiple Twitter users, the artist's latest work is reminiscent of the movie: Saboteur@saboteurDS@scum_art @pokimanelol For those who didn't get the reference lmao (Sorry couldn't find full scene in better quality)

Reacting to the portrait, one user said that the picture looked more like popular musician Drake than the OfflineTV member: Fans react to Pokimane's picture (Image via sc*m_ig Instagram) While the popular Twitch streamer herself has not reacted to the artwork as of yet, it remains to be seen if the creator himself will comment on the replies that he has been receiving. Readers should also note that this is not the artist's only attempt at capturing social media stars. Looking through his catalog, one can find caricatures of other creators such as Zack "Asmongold", Nick "Nmplol", Ali "Myth", Hasan "HasanAbi", and Rachell "Valkyrae."

Many have also pointed out the artist's profane user name, which could suggest that the artwork was made to evoke laughter.
