Pokemon Loudred - A ZBrush practice I did a while back followed #Follygone's YouTube tutorial. I learned so much and highly recommended his channel if you are interested in stylized cartoon characters.
I'm looking into Blender recently and found it's super easy to light stuff inside Blender. I'm very impressed with Blender's Eevee and Cycles rendering system. You can achieve good render results with ease.
I put together 2 short tutorials that demo how to light "Loudred" using 3 Point Lighting setup and also how to get rid of render noise using it's powerful AI Denoise node.
