/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I'm South Asian as well (half Indian, half Nepali) and I've long since said fuck it to trying to pick out characters who match my skin tone. I'm not particularly dark, but still not light enough for majority of characters.

Oh, and darker skinned characters are more likely to not wear a whole lot, especially if female. (ATLA and LOK are the only exceptions. And even then.)

Find a character you like from a series you love and you'll be more likely to make a good cosplay then if you just find a random character who kind of looks like you but don't give two shits about.

That said, if you're male be a hot Kotetsu or Godot please.
