Maybe you are to far in your process, but what if you set the thigh joints like real thigh joints?
A real thigh bone is shaped like an L attached to the pelvis bone.
How would it work if you align your thigh joints like That L too, and making the longer bone a stiff child of the shorter bone? 
That means a Y rotation of the thigh parent bone makes the leg bend,
a Z rotation of the thigh parent bone makes the leg move to the side,
a X rotation of the thigh parent bone makes the leg twist.
Just an idea, that someone might be curious to explore.

Looks like a male/female unimesh to me. ;-)

Elbows and knees aren't too difficult. Hips, shoulders and wrists are a beast, especially shoulders.

I know. Shoulders are the devil.

Antonia always reminds me of Mary Steenburgen - Wikipedia
Best knows as Clara Clayton in "Back To The Future III"

Your teenage Antonia looks great. Looking like an actual kid, too, not one of those "teenagers" on U.S. TV that are played by twenty-somethings.

@ Liquid_Ice:
One of the best Poser skin shaders I've seen so far. How do they look on different light sets?
@ Afrodite-Ohki
Face character morph and hair look good on both pictures.
Great pose, nice dynamics and shaders on clothes on the left picture.
@thoennes
Cute toon Character for La Femme.

What I like about DAZs Content Library is, that all the material files come as a sub folder of your Item folder. 
At least by following the conventions, everything makes sense.
Don 't go for "smart content". It is confusing and I can't see, what "smart" has to do with it.

Not brownish, fair enough.

The few actually outstanding very good parts of your render are the pillows, the table glass surface and the martini glass.
Everything else, well...
I assume, your character is intended to be a toon character, right?
Shouldn't a character app, be great at skin shaders, instead of glass shaders?
In the Rendo gallery here, this would not  even had a chance of getting my attention.

Poser as a software doesn't need to be free. I'd be alright with the current prizing, BUT !!!...
the step from Poser 10 to Poser 11 has just been an impertinent disaster. 
It would have been an appropriate apology, to offer the upgrade to Poser 12 for free, instead we got nothing more for our money, than a few cycles rip off touch ups.

and still, I have not seen any breath taking Poser renders yet, that makes use of Superfly improvements.
Poser renders still have that brownish, flat oil painted appeal. 
And yes, Poser must be capable of more, for I have seen exceptions from the rule. A rare bunch of Poser renders, that are indeed good.
The first and only coming to my mind are renders by Erogenensis, that are always amazing.
Some folks actually also praise Poser's animation tools, which are way better, than DS' tools.
List to do for Poser developers:
- Better native figures (Stop being sloppy in your figures development)
- Better figure system (Joints, rigging and more)
- Better render and shader system + a real time render system like eevee, IClone or unreal

As soon a new Poser team gets back to work and comes out with a good result, I am happy to pay my 300$ for an upgrade.

Some people won’t love Poser no matter what you do, and some people won’t stop loving Poser no matter what you do, go where the love is... what is done with love is done well. Your progress is remarkable Poser Team, all your vacation requests have been cancelled LOL! Keep up the fantastic work!!!

"Remember: JCM's are bad. They complicate the cr2, they use up resources, they make cloth design harder."

I can see your point, but I still disagree.
With nowadays computer powers, I don't think much of resources anymore. 
Unless you'll have a well developed AI driven joint system, there always will be the needs for JCMs.
As far as I know, not even professional CG figures in the movie industry are JCM free.
The point is, that the figure software should automatically transfer those JCMs to clothes, without the user having to think about it. 
Some other consumer applications are quite good at that.  
I agree, that La Femme is a complete fail - again.
At this moment Dawn 2 is about to be released SOOOON ;-) .
I was not impressed by Dawn at all. At least previews of Dawn 2 do actually look quite promising.
Let's see...

This was a splendid animation but... 999$ for this? wow looool

If an out of the box Poser figure will work like this, than Poser will be back.

Better think, why?
Every time, an honest opinion on Poser is made, the Poser religious fundamentalists go crazy.
Poser once was first and is now far behind its competitors, that is a fact.

If you don't demand for better tools, you will never get those better tools.
Poser is, where it is now, because it has mostly all those "oh so positive" people, who want all new, but nothing changed.

That's why I say, that Poser can be great again, by hiring the right great people, who will include new advanced technology into the way joint bending and facial animation is processed, and becoming a leader in that industry, or it will be got forgotten.
All or nothing, that simple.

The whole consumer 3d figure apps have become a dead horse anyway. 
At first Poser got caught in stagnation, now DAZ Studio's has stopped progressing and only Reallusion seems to do quite well. 
-Quite well, not overall great.
The whole process of rigging, posing and animating a character had to be reconsidered.
Only weight maps and tons of JCMs are not advanced enough anymore, to create convincing characters.
Poser has dropped from the pole position into a nowhere.

The only way to "dime the boat" is to come up with some groundbreaking new.
Poser is at an all or nothing position now.
Who ever will be hired for this job, I don't want to be in his shoes.
The stakes are high,
Good luck, hoping for the best.
