Got confused at your last picture and needed to check and see if it was blender, so I'd say a bit more tweaking and it'll be on par with ArcSys's 3D sprite work.

I think it' a pretty nice style with that shader.

I've been wanting to make stuff in Blender myself, but I want to be able to set up a stylized Anime-like shader in Blender, I've tried following a few tutorials online, but haven't really been able to follow them in the setup process, because it gets super confusing with following along to all the nodes you have to chain together to get the look and style you want. I'm looking to get it somewhat a mix of a semi-realistic with Anime-style look, so you can have shiny surface on certain objects without looking hyper realistic, but also not too toony looking, with outline that can by dynamic dependent on certain facing angles with adjustable thickness of those outlines.

I like it! ^v^

Good as hell, I've done outlines before and sometimes they look okay, but you need to REALLY adjust the lighting to fit it

Very stylish! Realism has its place, but hybridizing like this goes a long way to making your style unique. It already was imo, but now it’s feeling like an evolution of how you’ve been handling your craft!

I really liked it! The style was super fun, and seemed unique to you~
