It probably was one originally.

Not that that's a bad thing. A proper amount of abstraction (depending on your taste) can make a photograph a useful basis for an illustration, see post #261300 for example.

Inconsistent technique across an image is often a sign of tracing or importing of outside data. Making it look good is difficult.

I-It kinda looks like Kikuchi Makoto, from IDOLM@STER.

It's astounding quality, though.
