I am not a lawyer. The law [0] seems to provided an affirmative defense if "the alleged child pornography was not produced using any actual minor or minors." This defense does not apply if (emphasis added) "such visual depiction has been created, adapted, or modified to appear that an identifiable minor is engaging in sexually explicit conduct." My reading of this is that it is legal to have a pornagraphic drawing of a child character . It only become illegal when the drawing is of an actual minor.
