Description

Ive been trying to come up with a shading technique that would make heavily-stylized ponies look slightly less soul-devouringly creepy.
 
No success thus far.
 
Pictured:  
No shadows  
No reflections/specular lighting  
Indirect ambient lighting  
Simulated rim lighting  
Cel shading
 
Studying the 3D art here on Derpibooru suggests that carefully-aimed angles coupled with very soft, washed-out shading is still the way to go.
