I wasn’t happy with the way I currently cell-shade models and thought this would be a perfect excuse to experimented a bit with shader nodes. With some trial and error I found a way to mix two different textures together for the lights and shadows. Her model isn’t affected by lighting, but instead uses lights to tell if she should use her darker color palette or her lighter color palette for any given point on her model.

Basically her model defaults to her “shadow” textures, which are darker colors. But anywhere that she’s hit by a light source it then instead uses her “light” textures upon rendering. This system gives me complete control as I get to manually assign every color, as well as do neat tricks like with the lines in her hair.
