by Tanudama · Published July 23, 2021 · Updated July 28, 2021

We’re getting ready to get spooky in Project SEKAI, since the results of Round 8 of Project SEKAI Costume Design Contests had the theme of “Ghost”, and the winning outfits look positively perfect for a soon-to-be Halloween!

Check below for the results (including honourable mentions, once again) as well as translations of judges’ commentary and notes from the artist.

Winner for the theme “Ghost” – Women

Title of work:「トリック・オア・ペイント」/ Trick or Paint
Design by ふわ太 (@fufufuwata)
Time it’ll be available in-game: October 2021

Judges comments:

You can clearly see that this is a design with the concept of “ghost(s)”, and what with the addition of the corset and shorts, it has resulted in an overall wonderfully cute look! The pink paint splash accents across the outfit create a charming look that’s not too dark with a fun vibe, which is why it was chosen as a winner for this month!

Other notable points from the artist:

This outfit is based on the concept of a mischievous paint splattered ghost
They tried to create a design which has a ghostly vibe, as well as having a mischievous look to it.
Her nails are painted in an alternating pattern
The plasters are in colours of the levels of difficulty
There is a bat and ghost motif painted on her skin using body paint
She has a heart-shaped brooch on her chest, over where the heart actually is!
The lacing for the corset is done in a way that it looks like bones (the spine)!
There’s a silk hat in the design of a paint bucket included
The underside of the cape has no paint marks on it
The cape has some pink cat pawprints on the back (visible part)
One of the socks is a patchwork one

The artist also made a post to say thank you for choosing her design, and added some ideas for colourways too, featuring Rin:

Winner for the theme “Ghost” – Men

Title of work:「Phantom Crow」
Design by 隊長 (@taichous_prsk)
Time it’ll be available in-game: October 2021

Judges comments:

As you see the black and wine red colour scheme giving off a strong eerie ghost vibe, you notice the vertical lines across the whole outfit making it into an incredibly stylish look all round! We chose this one because we felt that the minute details, such as the inside of the coat (which you can’t usually see) and other accessories, make it a very appealing outfit.

Honourable mentions – Women

These are costumes that won’t be added to the game, but that the contest judges felt deserve recognition and appreciation! We won’t be translating everything to do with the following designs for now, but at least you get to see them, and can possibly use them as a reference for what the judges are looking for in these contests.

Has looking at these costume designs got you in the mood for Halloween yet?

And what colour ways will be added? We’ll just have to wait and see!
