It's really the issue with toon'ized characters (or in my case, heavily stylized), they are either one end of the spectrum or the other. And there never feels to be a sorts of "safe" midground, unless they all then start to look the same.
Here's a quick test portrait of her;

Worth noting that these characters will be aging as the game progresses, so there's always room to make alterations I guess.

idk, I like the more cartoony proportions with the realistic skin. It's new and exciting! I say keep it imo.

I wasn't into The Last of Us artwork till after they ruined Ellie and The Last of Us 2.
Welll your comment reminds me of some renders I did in the past with my very own version of Ellie from the Last of us (part one).
I tried to build her as close as I could in daz studio to the original one from the first game.
Maybe that's the Ellie you are looking for?!

I don't know how old the girl is supposed to be, but given her chest I'm assuming that she's not 7 or 8, as her head size would imply if it was realistic. So she's a toon 16+, hopefully 18+.It's really the issue with toon'ized characters (or in my case, heavily stylized), they are either one end of the spectrum or the other.

The lack of the male character's image being in the same sort of situation makes comparing them difficult, though as is she appears to be a stylized toonish style and he does not.
This makes them look like they exist in different worlds.
Of course, it might be the angle too.

Now that I see more of them, I would definitely go for a more stylistic material setup. Hard to explain what I have in mind, but modern Disney/Pixar animations would be a good point of reference.

Edit: And I totally agree the uncanny valley is the most ambiguous thing. And the reason why I started to diverge from "classic" DAZ and traverse to Blender. Right now I'm learning about digital sculpting and character design, just to get detached from premade models. As you say, there are issues with toon models for a photorealistic engine.
My latest game update is out now and I want to share some screenshots with you guys.

Love the lighting and details in this render. It seems like you can see some fine hair on her lower back, which is a detail I don't see very often in renders. Good job, mate!
