I would typically say art of Stephanie is a no-go solely because the character was originally portrayed by a real child. If a character exists in fiction beforehand and was later portrayed by a child, that's fine (like Hermione Granger, or Hit Girl). I realize that line is extremely gray though so I won't really get mad at anyone for enjoying it, it's just not something I'm personally into.
I think the pedo shit in loli art needs to go, though. Far be it from me to say it should be outright illegal, but I think the community should push back against it much more and it's sad they don't just because they think strength in numbers is better than strength in resolve. Seeing any mention of child porn from an artist I follow is an immediate unfollow, MAP flags will result in vitriol, etc.
So, I had no idea that Lazy Town was actually a book first and foremost and then a stage play, in which an adult actress portrayed Stephanie. The sequel play's portrayal of her also seems to be an adult. This is moot anyway because yeah, the original story was a book that obviously has no actors at all.
This changes my perspective on the character being drawn entirely. It's pretty important context that I was missing and I apologize for that.
I can indeed be wrong sometimes. Crazy.
