After a lot of searching, I finally obtained a high-quality (as in no tears & not even yellowed, and all bandaroles intact) copy of CLAMP's Soryuden artbook. It was delivered together with CLAMP's Tokyo Babylon Postcard book (who'd thought that postcards were drawn that BIG!?) this morning.
Now, some of you might wonder why I spent so much time and effort on obtaining an artbook that's not part of Tokyo Babylon and/or X, and which consists to 2/3 of manga stories I cannot read, because I don't know Japanese (though I hope there are translations out there to be found). Anyway, here's a very visual reason behind the cut. :-)
. :) One of many, actually.

Edit: the website I knew about them is gone, but the Wikipedia article is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sohryuden:_Legend_of_the_Dragon_Kings
