The shading is inconsistent in both style and placement all over, sometimes sharp lines sometimes gradients.
Like around the shoulders where the shadow from the hair is under the lace collar but not on top of it. the collar is also inconsistently colored.
The bangs and eyebrows layering weirdly.
The pendant structure doesn't really make sense and the gem isn't even centered properly.
the weird shapes in the fur of the tail.
Random grey shading in various places particularly throughout the hair/tail.
Random crease/shading on one sleeve while fully smooth on the other
The hip tassels just come out of nowhere in weird little bulbous shapes and don't properly drape around the legs, the gems in the tassels have a weird haze around them as if glowing but it looks too subtle to be intentional and the lighting doesn't properly reflect that around it.
One tassel has a missing bit of detail right in the middle of a vertical line.
The hands are awkward all around, especially in the overall shape, pose and fingers, and one has a random line that doesn't really fit in with the rest of the wrinkles.
The more I look at it the more certain I am that it's definitely AI.
