Yes. In the U.S., it's illegal under federal law to create, possess, or distribute pornographic digital art depicting minors if it meets certain legal thresholds.
ederal Law: The PROTECT Act (2003)
18U.S.C.§1466A (part of the PROTECTAct) bans “drawings, cartoons, [or] computer-generated images” showing minors in sexually explicit conduct—if they are obscene or lack serious value.
The law also covers digital images that appear nearly indistinguishable from real children in sexual acts.
Federal child pornography statutes (e.g., 18U.S.C.§2252/2256) also criminalize virtual images when they are indistinguishable from real minors

Penalties are serious—often 5+ years in prison (and up to 30 years for distribution)
