Quasar:
I'm aware of the Shimon name usage in the Japanese version of Harmony of Dissonance, White Night Concerto,
The name "Shimon" actually has a duel meaning, in katakana it could be considered a phonetic spelling of "Simon" (that said "Saimon" would actually be a better katakana spelling), in which case, yes, it is intended to denote Simon Belmont. On the other hand, in literal Japanese, Shimon means "Death's Gate", which is the name the creatures are given in the American Castlevania 3 manual.
In my opinion, a Blood Skeleton is different from these "normal" whipping skeletons, and the name does not apply. Blood Skeletons, so far as I can remember, are always segregated as unique species in Castlevania in-game bestiaries, no doubt due to their immortality, which I would argue elevates them above the "common" undead.
Coopersville/Inferno:
Skeletons aren't too bad to make. The pelvis and ribcage are the trickiest parts, but that's offset by the ease in which the legs and arms can be constructed, as those shapes are very simple. My main concern was the pelvis trying to self-destruct on me during painting, as it did with my Revenant.
