I think the difference between what constitutes a "portrait", a "figurative painting", and an "illustration" is mostly a matter of the intention of the artist and client.
If a painting is meant to show that "this is Harry", it's a portrait. If the intention is "this is some guy fishing" then it's a figurative painting. If the art is meant to sell the brand of fishing gear the guy is using, it's an illustration.
On that basis, I think your painting, Celeste, is still a portrait, regardless of style.
