What category does this illustration fall into? I need to select a category when adding this illustration for sale. I don't even know which category might fit. 
Can you suggest an article or resource from Adobe that helps you figure out what is included in different categories, see a list of pictures from different categories?

Myth, fantasy, legend...

Is this based on any particular mythological character or is it a fantasy character that you made up?

    From a quick search for fantasy character, illustration, I've seen similar images with the category listed as "Men" which must fall under "People." So I guess it is a case of individual selections once you drill down and then use keywords to add further descriptions. I'd start with people if it was me since the main subject has a face and body.

    IMO, "people" is too generic and could dilute search filters with too many irrelevant results.

     

    Elf, fairy, aelfdane, or Eärendel who is Tolkien's half-elf, half-human character might be better keyword choices.

    @White5FD8 This is the list and there isn't any more expansion on what's here that I can immediately find: Choose the right category in the Adobe Stock Contributor portal

     

    You have to select one of these that is the closest if you can't find something that is exact. Maybe start by the process of elimination, i.e, you know the category is not food. I would examine similar content from other contributors to see what category they are using so you have the highest likelihood of being found by buyers who are already looking for this type of illustration. What keywords are you assigning this image?
