Elven Creation

Aly, also known as Skateelf or Bootstrap Blades, is an artist with a diverse background in entertainment and fine arts. Spending the 2010s in the bustling film, theater, and music scenes of Los Angeles, Aly honed her skills in various creative fields. She worked as a scenic painter and set builder in film and theater, contributing her talents to iconic theme park projects at Disneyland and Universal Studios, including notable contributions to the Disney Castle, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Drawing upon her diverse experience in theater, film, theme parks, and the music industry, Aly brings a unique blend of artistry and craftsmanship to every project. Inspired by a lifelong love of fantasy, horror FX, and immersive worlds, Aly seeks to create escapes from reality and empower others to embrace their inner fantasy characters.

Fueled by a passion for MMOs like Everquest and WoW, countless fantasy novels, and a fascination with history and architecture, Aly's artistic vision is richly informed. A love for nature, animals, and a belief in the power of imagination further shapes her creative endeavors.

In recent years, Aly has immersed herself in the world of leather working, crafting sheaths for NorseForged's blades. Leather has quickly become a favored medium, allowing for the creation of unique and functional pieces. Aly's creations are driven by a desire to share her passion and empower others to feel more connected to the fantasy characters they envision. This passion extends to her involvement in the NorseForged Gatherings, where Aly and the team work to transform the MMORPG experience into a vibrant, real-life event.
