## Collabs

* Natsuhiko Kyogoku
* Shanghai Animation Film Studio
* Yoshitaka Amamo
* CLAMP
The "Onmyoji" x "Mika Ninagawa" Limited Skins collab (《阴阳师》×《蜷川实花》艺术家限定皮肤) was the first installment of the Art Inspiration Project. Only one part of the collab was launched on CN servers in late 2020. It is currently unknown if more parts will launched or a rerun of the first part will occur.

## Event

* TW/JP/GL Servers: n/a

During the event period, players can obtain two types of pigments, "Titanium White" and "Colourful Pastels", by reaching certain experience milestones for Talisman Pass.

The pigments are used to paint a scroll. Players who don't have enough pigments, can can ask friends for help or buy them with jade. Upon completing the scroll, players will receive the limited "花海繁生" realm skin. The realm skin's effect is "Increases Crit DMG in Realm Defense by 10%".

The scroll starts out as rough sketch, then as it is completed it slowly turns into a detailed painting of the realm skin. On the bottom-left of painting scroll, a Seimei emoticon would change depending on the scroll's completion status.

## Shop Skin

While the event is active, the limited "朝露繁花" Kagura skin can be bought from the skin shop for 1998 jade. The skin also came with the limited "垂紫挽川" animated icon frame.

The "Onmyoji" x "Natsuhiko Kyogoku": Captivating Monogatari (《阴阳师》×《京极夏彦》艺术灵感企划·绮世物语) is the 2nd instalment of the Art Inspiration Project. It is a collaboration with Japanese mystery writer Natsuhiko Kyogoku, who assisted with the story and character design for the original SSR character Yato no Kami. Kyogoku's character Akihiko Chuzenji, from his Kyōgokudō series, also featured in the story for Yato no Kami.

## Part 1

The first part of the collab launched on CN servers in late December 2021 and on TW/JP/GL servers in mid January 2022. It consisted of 3 events: the Crimson Petroglyphs prelude event, the Redmoon Thrillers large scale event and the Mysteries Nights Unraveled summoning event.

## Part 2

The second part of the collab launched on CN in mid April 2022 and on TW/JP/GL servers in May 2022. It consists of 2 events: a rerun of the Underworld Blossom large scale event with limited skins for SSR Yato no Kami and Seimei, and the Redmoon Revisit, Fateful Gathering summoning events.

Due to circumstances outside of the developers' control, this part of the collab was pushed ahead of schedule. Which led to the limited skins for Yato no Kami and Seimei to be announced before they were ready to be put into the game.

The "Onmyoji" x "Shanghai Animation Film Studio" collabration (《阴阳师》×《蜷川实花》艺术家限定皮肤) was one of the few Art Inspiration Project collabs that did not have an event. Instead, two themed skins were designed and made available for a limited time in the Mall on CN servers.

## Shop Skins

The limited "墨雨胧山" skin for Tamamo no Mae and "砚隐千面" skin for SP Menreiki can be obtained from the skin shop with a special item for the respective skin for 98 s-jade. Purchasing either skin would give the limited "垂紫挽川" animated icon frame, while purchasing both would give the "雾染青黛" loading screen illustration.

Players could purchase a maximum of 3 of each special item for the respective skins. After the limited sale period for the special items is over, extras can be sold in the Mall's Consignment Shop.
