Artist turns Pokimane into the stuff of nightmares in viral artwork

A digital artist named Sc*m_art has gone viral after posting a caricature-like portrait of popular Twitch streamer Imane "Pokimane."

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.

Following the release of the picture, the aforementioned artist decided to take inspiration from the post and create a portrait capturing Imane's face. After sharing the image on his socials, users began to express their sardonic comments. One user sarcastically said:
