Sometimes, I get an urge to just write stuff. Today is one of those days. This webpage DID start out as a personal blog and not my cosplay page - I used the name Skymone for many, many years as my online identity, even way before I got into cosplay. I spent a lot of...
I just finished my Blood Elf Priestess from Burning Crusade cinematic (or, almost finished - need to make the staff, but the outfit itself is done). And what do I do? Make another one, of course! On a random impulse, I decided to make a blood elf mage wearing Robes of...
We're already in the 3rd month of 2016! Holy hell, where did the first two go?? I've been so busy with moving and illness in family and other personal stuff that I've had a very slow start to cosplay this year. But no matter - The point of cosplay is to have fun, so I...
I just found this photo and had a good trip down memory lane. This is what I consider the start of my cosplay... Career? Fandom? Obsession? My first self-made costume, Skymone the Night Elf Druid of Eonar-EU! Until this, I wore costumes made by my mom, but I wasn't...
Once more, some ramblings about stuff. I hope I don't offend anyone. I don't think all guys are creeps at all. I'm just trying to explain how some comments makes me feel. I tend to avoid getting into discussions about cosplay and how your body looks, because it's a...
Just a quick post to inform that the Lagertha costume write-up is complete!
Long post incoming! And sorry for turning it into a semi-rant. Koyocon 2015 ended a couple of days ago, and it was a crazy, fun experience! So much stuff happened in so little time that I know I'll need a full week before I have fully recovered! This year's Koyo was...
USUALLY I keep this blog to being mostly about cosplay and stuff. But today, my excitement is overwhelming, and I'm having trouble keeping it bottled up. My friends know me as a collector, someone who just has a lot of stuff. I've always been like that, it's a habit I...
In my last post, I mentioned aaaall the projects I started and how I wasn't finishing any. Well, although I didn't get as much done as I wanted to, I still managed to cross some things off my list! Ysera got a brush-up with some new horns, new wig, hairpiece and...
Lately, I've been starting a lot of things and not finishing it. It bothers me, because I don't want to be one of those people who just start up something and then doesn't finish it. But my motivation has been lagging. Or rather, my time has. I've got a huge amount of...
Life has it's ups and downs, and I've seen both recently, but overall, life is treating me good! My web shop, Cosplay Loot, is going quite well - which of course means I'm spending some time working on that, but I enjoy it, too! I've put my Blood Elf Priestess on the...
I've finished Valeera Sanguinar at long last, and a write-up post has been added along with a gallery, which I will update as I get more photos. Even though I finished one cosplay, it doesn't mean I'm taking a breather - on the contrary, I've started even more things!...
Just thought I'd make a little post to share my newest video tutorial about soldering! It's just really basic stuff, but I know I would've loved this a couple of years ago, so I figured I would make it now, to hopefully help people like myself 🙂 Here it is - ENGLISH...
The other day, I had a visit from a photo journalism student, who took some photos of me for an assignment. We ended the day with a very quick photoshoot of Ysera (we only spent 10 minutes outside, due to really cold weather). Despite the weather, I got some really...
2014 has ended and 2015 begun - with a lovely throat infection that has me staying in bed. But it gave me time to go through the last corrections to my book, which has today been published! So head on over to the eBook-link in the menu above and get your free copy of...
2014 is almost at it's end, and I'm thinking of all the things that happened this year - it's actually been a crazy year, but also a good one. It feels like someone made time run faster. I can't believe we're already almost at Christmas! This year, I finished the...
