Skymone
Cosplay crafting & modelingDesigner by day, Elf by night
Hi, I’m Simone aka Skymone Cosplay.
Since I was a little girl, I loved dressing up and my parents would make me the most epic Halloween costumes. When I grew up and moved away from home, I needed a hobby and an excuse to wear costumes, and so in 2013, I discovered cosplay.
I work as a multimedia designer, so cosplay is a spare time hobby. I mostly cosplay elves from World of Warcraft.
Cosplay History
I’ve been attending conventions since 2007 and making my own cosplays since 2013. It all ads up. Here’s some stats, although I may have forgotten some

Comic Con Baltics 2022
May 21st-22nd, Vilnius, Lithuania
I’ll be attending this Lithuanian convention as a cosplay judge! It’s my first time judging a contest in Lithuania – so far I’ve only done German and Danish ones!

Gamevention 2022
July 1st-3rd, Neumünster, Germany
I will attend Gamevention as part of Warcrafter’s booth at this year’s Gamevention. They have put a lot of effort into making it an attractive event for cosplayers and I’m excited to experience it.

Fantasy Festival 2022
September 17th-18th, Esbjerg, Denmark
A Danish convention focused on fantasy, books, magic, witches and roleplay, featuring lots of books, art, medieval market, events and author talks. An absolutely magic event hosted by Esbjerg Library. I will be there as part of Warcrafter’s booth.

I post about conventions, cosplay progress, review cosplay shops/products and whatever else comes to mind on my blog.
The struggles of pattern making
Years ago, I made my first Rapunzel cosplay. I really like her character - she's a Disney princess, but she's got a mind of her own, she gets stuff done, she is really clever and very creative. When Eugene proposed to her, she actually said no - twice - because she...
Spreading the word of cosplay
So a couple of days ago, I was talking with a customer on the phone at work, and he ended the call with: "Saw that interview with you, that cosplay thing you do is pretty cool!" Since I had no idea the interview was posted (or, indeed, was sure which one it was) I...
Gamebox Festival 2022
Yesterday I got back from the first ever Gamebox Festival and man, what an impressive first event that was! I attended as part of the group that hosted the Cosplay Lounge - The Warcrafters. We brought our exhibit and also helped out other cosplayers at the event. It...

Cosplay Write-ups
I try to make long, step-by-step descriptions of my larger cosplay projects so that other people might get some ideas how various things could be made. They’re not meant as a guide to copy, just as a way to maybe see someone else’s work process and see how others solve challenges.
Latest write-ups
They may not be the latest cosplays I made, but here are the latest write-ups of cosplays
Free eBook
My eBook is a few years old by now, but it still contains a lot of information that might be relevant if you’re just starting out as a cosplayer.
The book describes different types of foams, thermoplastics, LEDs and much more. It is far from a full list of the materials cosplayers use, but it’s a good starting point to get an understanding of materials and their uses.
My cosplays
Here’s some of my favourite cosplays and photos.
