Biser Builds

Sharing the cosplay, makeup, creations, crafts, drawings, costumes, and builds I've created over the years. Born and raised in SF Bay Area.

Have a passion for most creative and artistic mediums, filthy casual video game player, and avid Cosplayer. Started to cosplay in 2014 when I wanted to build a Halloween costume, and snowballed from there. Have won several awards from some major Cosplay competitions, and want to convert that success into a prop & cosplay business someday. I enjoy sharing my building successes and failures to help encourage and inspire others to make, create, and above all BUILD.

For the 1st time ever, I found cards at a convention. I knew wouldn't disappoint, but I was doubting it had them given it was just one booth who did. I've been looking for these cards for years at a con.
I played this game extensively growing up, and had a huge impact on my life. Massive nostalgia seeing them, and I ended up buying basically all of them...after some haggling 😄
If you know of these, or played it, please chime in on the comments. I'd love to hear your experience.

Long time no posts. Been working quite a bit...on work 😜, but have also been busy with some home upgrades and repairs. Feels good to translate some builder/cosplay skills to "real" world activities 😄.
1. Re-sealed the fence boards to give them new life (really enjoy how they came out) Just a clear coat as I like the look of natural wood.
2. Getting the build room organized a bit with an attic latter for easy loft access and putting in insulation before the heat of summer makes it hell 🔥😅
3. Cats, cats, and more cats 🐈. Still looking to give the tans a home (Tyrion, Jaime, and Cersei)

In no particular order is my cosplay lineup. This will be my debut Con for Jaime Lannister, and stoked to wear it again. There's just something about armor and capes 😉.

08/30/2021

Ok, gotta start packing for Got some last minute details in on my inspired I am really nervous about going to this con, but think I will be able to relax once I'm there. Traveling across the country is a 1st for me to attend a con, and the logistics alone are high stress 😅🤯
Eager to get there and see some great stuff!

08/25/2021

More work on my inspired costume for Pretty happy with my 1st ever attempt at making a faux prosthetic arm with only about 1.5 days worth of work. Still want to add a few more pieces and details, but this test fit worked out great.
Material is with white plastidip and a plastidip glossifier as a top coat. Not as great as some other methods, but it was fast and got the job done quick 😅. The base is a sleeve I made out of 2-way stretch cosplay fabric with raised hexagon pattern, and glued the peices on with contact cement.

08/24/2021

So...still working out my costume for (for some reason can never be cured 😅). Got some neat detail put in using yogurt containers.

Facial hair transformation. Got frustrated with a full beard and shaved it all off to start fresh. Thought I should try a few looks while trimming it off and document the dos and don't looks.
What looks do you think are Do ✅ and what looks are Don't 🚫? 👍 or 👎

08/16/2021

New Build: getting a inspired costume put together for my 1st ever Having a lot of fun just throwing things together and sharpening some skills.

Checking out some newer type of LED strip. This is a COB LED strip, which is basically a denser strip that has smaller, closer together, LEDs on the strip. The main benefit is that the light blends together evenly between each LED. Giving it a more solid strip of light.
The 2nd image is a 2mm thick peice of Plastazote that difuzzes the light even more, but looses some of the intensity.
How would you incorporate these into your build?
