if chris sanders did NOT do the last image with the tiger cub and the monks, then who did?

i didn’t see sander’s name on the list of artists.

That last piece definitely looks like Sander’s work.

Looking at all the various styles, I get the same vibe I had when I first read “Heavy Metal.”

Tom, I was going to ask the same thing. If Chris Sanders didn’t do that, then somebody seriously ripped his style.

The last piece was done by Byron Howard. He did not RIP OFF Chris Sanders. Chris & Byron are friends, and Byron worked with Chris Sanders designing characters on Lilo & Stitch SPECIFICALLY because his style is similar. Just because you *think* something sounds plausible, doesn’t make it the truth.

Cool! Looks like Chris Sanders contributes as well!!! Sold!

Thanks for posting about the book! It turned out really great this year!!! The stories are really fun and the art is sooo inspiring! I was glad to be apart of this project. We hope you all come by and say hello at the CON!

man, the cover looks so much like a john watkiss painting and the non chris sanders image…I’m so confused

I was so glad when my friend came back from last year’s Con with my requested Rocket Johnson book in hand (and signed!), but this year I’m taking matters into my own hands and getting a copy of Torch Tiger myself! This is a great, great lineup. I only wish Glen Keane had contributed again.

Impressive as always.

Somebody please give management a copy.

Someone give Cartoon Network a copy, too, to show that they can “open up and broaden the audience” without resorting to “reality and live scripted” shows. Just because a cartoon’s a cartoon doesn’t mean it MUST target the “6-to-11″ demographic.

Loved Rocket Johnson last year, can’t wait for Torch Tiger to join it on the shelf!

Can’t wait to own this baby.

Looking forward to it!

That last one is so adorable, I squealed like a little girl. It’s so bloody cute!

I wonder if Chris Sanders is annoyed. Haha, just kidding. But, when those pages were designed, wasn’t he expecting this correlation?

I really want to get this but I can’t make it to Comic Con.
If anyone is interested in mailing me one, I would send a check for shipping and two copies — one for me, and one for you for the trouble!
Email me at solsetimo@yahoo.com if you’re interested :)

Sigh…it is my deepest wish that this and Rocket Johnson will one day become widely available to those who can’t get to Comic Con! T_T

I want to get a copy…. how? Looks great!!!!!
