These arts are fascinating because the artists obviously put effort in and are talented, but there are always some small mistakes.
In this case, the CATOBAR J-15D's wingtip ESM pods are using J-16D style pods which have individual vertical antennae, whereas the actual J-15D have wingtip ESM pods where the individual vertical antennae are a less prominent, more conformal continuous antenna.

Is this CGI?
J-15B with new HUD. Can anyone identify its engines?

There are 9x J-15Bs in flight in that picture, which I feel pretty comfortable in suggesting it likely reflects they are airframes in service from the first production batch, especially if we assume there are likely additional J-15Bs based either on the carriers or on shore at the time this photo was taken.
