A short hike artstyle

I have been trying to recreate a short hikes art style, but it’s just not working. I’ve even considered switching to Unity at this point. When I make a toon shader light still effects the material, and when I change it to unlit it just looks weird, like it’s glowing or something. Seems like the lighting is the main problem, but I’ve got no idea of how to achieve a short hikes lighting. Help would be very much appreciated.
