Not overly rendered or simplified, but appealing. Basically you're looking at stylisation. There's really not much to add than what you're already doing, because style comes intuitively, a result of the choices you make when creating. You may not have to reach rendering perfection to reach this goal but it's definitely worth following people that specialise in it. I recommend viewing videos by Dan Beardshaw on youtube. The guy is a lot more casual and relatable than the self proclaimed mentors out there. He communicates very well his perception of the process which I find more helpful than a strict how-to.
