COSPLAYING AS Mars - doto 2

Hi, I am Shanawaz Ahmed from Bengaluru, and I’ve been a proud member of the cosplay community since 2016. What started as a passion project at Comic Con India has transformed into a journey of creativity and dedication.

This year is extra special—I’ve qualified for the Indian Cosplay Championship 2025 for the first time.

For this milestone, I chose to cosplay Mars, the God of War, from my favorite PC game, Dota 2. Bringing Mars to life was an epic challenge, and crafting his legendary Lion’s Shield was my proudest achievement.

Gaming and cosplay go hand in hand for me. Through this character, I channel strength, honor, and passion. I hope my journey inspires others to pursue their fandoms with pride and creativity.

‍See you on the battlefield—For Mars!
