Colourful Wind

I just ordered the Colourful Wind artbook, does anyone else have it? I was just wondering how much of it is FMP and how much of it is other stuff. I'm too impatient to wait for it, and I don't want to get my hopes up by thinking there's loads of FMP! when there isn't and then be disappointed when it arrives
But I saw it and just couldn't resist, I'm just a sucker for things like that!
If anyone else is interested I got it from here:
http://www.otaku.com/cgi-bin/itemview.asp?itemid=60569l
or their UK site is here if there are any other UK members (its more expensive naturally, but the postage is cheaper so it all balances out):

(Sorry if there is already a thread on this, I did a search and nothing turned up but I could have just been blind).

It's mostly FMP. The other stuff is regulated to back sections and doesn't cover nearly as many pages.
It's all good, but if you're just looking for FMP characters, you won't be disappointed.
However, a large number of the pics, at least the color ones, are all over the 'net. I'm unsure how much new stuff you'll see.
This is one reason I only scanned some of the book- it's only a matter of time before you get tired of seeing the same pics over and over. Hopefully there will be some new stuff in there for you
ShikiDouji needs a new artbook!

Well, I got it this morning, which was much quicker than I expected since they said it might take a few weeks, so that's good for me
Yeah, I was worried that I would have seen it all before online, but there were quite a few I either hadn't seen or haven't seen in so long I totally forgot about them. Its still nice to have them in a book like that though
Random question, but does anyone know what gender ShikiDouji is?

Can't remember who it was on these forums who said that Shiki Douji was female - and that it was surprising, given the amount of fanservice incorporated into FMP.

I'm not clear on ShikiDouji's gender either.
ShikiDouji supposedly appeared in the 'behind the scenes' clip that aired before TSR started and it was said SD is a she. Wierdly, I have thought that I have seen pics captioned of Gatou and SD, and they were two guys, but it's probably my memory that is off. I've been trying to remember where I saw them.
In any case, there are plenty of female artists and manga-ka who use female fanservice

Aw jeez, now I really want to know what gender he/ she is! Maybe he/ she is genderless, the inspiration for Wraith perhaps?!?!

Oh really? Interesting, was that in the new novel? I was hoping it would be a [ecs]very, very feminine boy[/ecs]
hmm

u are lucky to get that book...
@tulip baroo: how many images (that aren't on the web) do you think there are?
@jae: how many images did you not include

I'm not sure how many images aren't on the web, but there's 37 pages of coloured images (some have a couple of images on each page) plus a foldout poster, and 12 pages of b/w images (roughly 3 per page). The rest of the book is work that isn't FMP. All in all a good book but with the usual artbook price tag to match
