Dishycrafts (He/him) is a cosplayer from the Netherlands with over 13-years of cosplaying experience. Cosplay is a form of therapy to him and he finds the crafting process the most rewarding part of it. He started his competitive career in 2015 and ever since, he has won many prizes, among them are multiple at Dreamhack Rotterdam. In 2023 he won first place as the solo contestant during the International Cosplay League in Madrid. In 2024 he was selected as the first Dutch representative for the Nordic Cosplay Championship in 2025.

He’s often collaborated with Bethesda and in the past has done promotional work for HBO and Playstation.

Elvea cosplay is a true cosplay veteran with 16 years in the game, wearing many hats throughout the years with one factor in common: it’s been on a stage. She’s toured all of Scandinavia as a part of a cosplay idol troupe and participated in many cosplay competitions: sometimes as the Swedish representative on the other side of the world, a judge or her personal favorite: as an MC.

The secret behind Elvea’s long and true love affair with cosplay is a dedication to celebrating queer characters with her craft. Be it figures in cartoons, games or books: if they’re tall, flashy and a little fruity she’s probably at least thought about cosplaying them. Elvea is also an advocate of safe cosplay practices, a strong opponent of con crunch and self proclaimed cosplay momager to anyone who needs it.

Frostylva is an experienced panelist and workshop host and the communication and teaching aspect of cosplay is one of her biggest passions next to hero wn crafting, and she has shared her knowledge notjust at conventions, but also at youth clubs, festivals and more. She is also an experienced judge, and has judged a large number of competitions in both in her home country Norway and abroad.In addition to being an avid contributor to the cosplay community as a cosplayer herself, she is also one of the main organizers of Magicon, Norway’s largest cosplay convention.By day, she works in the university sector and her professional background is PhD in molecular biology.As a judge, Frostylva loves creative and well-reasoned problem-solving and is on the lookout for solid craftsmanship with interesting combinations of textures and materials.

After all these years of trying out pretty much everything cosplay had to offer them, MitterMakes sat down and had a long talk about what their next step would be. They knew they wanted to do something together as a duo, something that felt meaningful and combined their favorite parts of cosplay. Something that also gave back to the community that had given so much to them. The answer was simple: MitterMakes Cosplay Studio was born!

As a studio, they can focus on lecturing, workshops, and helping the next generation of cosplayers. They have held countless of workshops all around Sweden, open for everyone to attend, but mainly focusing on youth and kids. Last year, they founded Jönköping’s School of Cosplay, where they tutored an entire class for a year. On top of that, they judge cosplay contests, sell merch and accessories both at events and online, and spend a lot of time making custom ordered commissions both for cosplayers and for companies. Through the network they have built, they can have MitterMakes Cosplay Studio as their part-time job, and they couldn’t be more thankful and happy! This studio is their ultimate passion project, and they are super excited to see where it takes them in the future!
