Shūkō Murase Artbook Hunt

[Mimeblade]

This is tough for me to ask because I really know next to nothing about where to buy artbooks and such.

I'm looking for artwork and materials from the artist/director/animator Shūkō Murase 村瀬 修功.

He's worked on everything from Samurai Troopers (Ronin Warriors), Gundam Wing, Argento Soma, Gasaraki, Witch Hunter Robin, Gundam F91, Ergo Proxy, Samurai Champloo, Night Warriors (Darkstalker's Revenge), and even Final Fantasy IX so I hear...

What I'm looking for is his artwork as a character designer. I need references because I really like how he designs his characters and I have my own characters I want to design in a similar style.

If anyone can help me by giving me a list of some good artbooks that have his works, I'd really REALLY appreciate it. You'd give me a Merry Christmas if you did so!

He's one of my favorite character designers, too--if not my favorite. Definitely in the top 5.

Off the top of my head, I have not heard of an art book for him specifically...but here are some clues you might look into: 1.) Look into art books for the series he has worked on.* 2.) Use Google images to find design sheets or pinups of characters by him.

*I ran across these for Gundam Wing:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1569315736
(The former appears a lot more promising than the latter)

Good luck!

Having owned the former I can say that it's decent, but not spectacular.

You can get it off Amazon also, along with similar books for 08th MS Team, 0083, Cowboy Bebop (I think) and Aura Battler Dunbine.
