Isn't this 3D CG? If so, it can't qualify for expert shading pool as shading would have been done by a computer algorithm not artist.

Firstly, I am certain that this is 2D. The hair is the biggest clue-off: 3D hair just simply does not look like that.

Secondly, way to undervalue how much work a 3D artist has to do to make something look good. >:|
