>>8603579>because the Select Sabretooth looks as though he was pretty much ripped from Jim Lee's artwork Not even close.
I think you're confusing the cartoon with Jim Lee's actual artwork.
That Diamond Sabretooth is extremely cartoony. So cartoony, i can't even say it was based on the TAS. Could be Jeff Matsuda's XFactor Sabretooth or maybe some Joe Madueriaera's version i don't remember.
