You may want a toon shader or you need to tweak a shader for toon-like output, or do a toon render. I have pwToon for Daz, but I haven't done much with it. I should check it out more! What if you used a posterization filter to give your render a toon-like appearance? Then you could use either Daz or Poser and make a photoreal render. You could tweak the lighting to give it a more stylized look.

I've messed around with this approach some and I haven't been able to get the look I'm after without an inordinate amount of postwork. I pretty much feel like if I'm going to do that much postwork I might as well draw it, because that's more flexible and requires less pre-production work. The pwToon shader sounds promising, though. I found it (I think), so I guess I'll have to learn enough Daz to see if it works...
