Another option akin to 12rounds idea is to use poser as it was originally intended, as a 'design resource'.
You don't need an expensive lightbox or even tracing paper, just print out your render, tape the render to a window, tape a plain bit of paper over that then trace with a pen or pencil.
A nice effect, in the style of Alphonse Mucha, can be gained by rendering the background without a figure, trace it with a thin fine fineliner (say 0.5). Now print and trace your figure with a felt-tip. Cut the figure out, paste on the background with a glue-stick and photocopy.
This is also good for creating graphics novels as you can add the speech bubbles in the same way. Which is how traditional comics artists work.
Some may say thats cheating, but it didn't do the very rich and famous Jack Vettriano any harm :)
