Okay, first the obvious out of the way: Lori Slayer is RIPPED! I can absolutely see the resemblance between her and your Lori! Also, great call on Panam, she's the hottest girl in Cyberpunk 2077!

With the thirst out of the way, I love Lori as a character. She's sassy, determined, a total badass, yet very human. Those traits in modern female characters are far and in-between from the massive cesspool of Mary Sues plaguing modern media today. In her, I see a little bit of Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor, really taking me back to the late 80s/early 90s female badasses. Lori could easily be placed among those hallowed characters in my book. She is THAT good.

Also, great choice in music! The video was pretty cool too!

I'm SUPER glad you came to that realization, cuz that was more or less by design. Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor are IMHO by far the GREATEST female protagonists ever written. Why? Because they're not "female heroes"...they're heroes that are female. There's a HUGE difference. There's no agenda behind why the character is the hero, they just become the hero of their story organically by way of circumstance. In the case of Ellen that circumstance was protection, and in Sarah that circumstance was survival. No preordained destiny. No "I'm strong because I have to surpass the men" bullshit. They start out as just plain, ordinary women...and are forced to rise to the occasion over the course of their respective stories. But even within that, they're vulnerable and actually terrified of the task they have to undertake to live another day. As I highlighted in Vol.7.5, Lori actually hates that she's good at what she does. She's proud of her service, but deep down wishes she could have just been a normal young woman, not one gifted in the art of war. At her core she's just a loving, caring, empathetic woman who wants her friends and family to be safe. And that's the force that pushes her forward. Even back as far as Vol.1 and how she dealt with Raisha & Ayla I planted those seeds of her character. Could I have just had them battle it out? Of course I could. But when face with the situation where death isn't the only option, Lori will choose the other option 99% of the time.

So, now that I've converted the units of height and weight to those used by normal humans (ah, I'm kidding, as always ), I think you've got it pretty well considering she's quite muscular. She has a very narrow waist which would suggest a lower weight, but all that muscle and breast load would make up for it  Women of this height usually don't like to go above 130~131 pounds, but I'm talking of course about ordinary women you see on the streets (well, I don't know if in US, but...), not women who are trained killing machines 

Oh, I know a few things about these weights and heights and crap... About literal crap too, what healthy crap should look like, things like that...  Perhaps I should rethink my career 

Oops...lol. That was a typo. She's 155lbs. I got big, meaty fingers so my keystrokes tend to run wide...lol. I initially wanted to make her around the 6 foot range in height, but again...that'd be cliche having her be an amazon. 5'8" is still pretty tall for a chick, but still shorter than the average sized male, which is 5'10". Comparatively to say Herrig or Kristoff, who are both titanous human beings well over 6 feet tall. Kristoff is actually BIGGER than Herrig, standing 6'8" tall and weighing 280lbs.

She's easily one of the most dynamically written characters I've had the pleasure of reading in a long time. Honestly better then a lot of female characters in mainstream comics and media. I know your writing expertise comes from your promo scripting for pro wrestling, but your creativity shines so far and above that within your storytelling. You seriously missed your calling, because as a writer you're top notch. You've got this whole Tom Clancy thing going, but you're able to write non-military scripts as well. It's a crime that there isn't more people reading your content (and everyone else who makes comics here on KE as well) because they're missing out on some well crafted, humorous, thought provoking and outright sexy content. Most people just want to get their fap on, but bypassing some quality entertainment. Me personally, I spend more time in the comics section then the standard galleries. You know what to expect in the galleries, but when a new comic drops it's always something fresh and new. This little comic community we've got going here is something special.

When I initially started my comics with Betrayal, it grated on my nerves that I put so much effort into crafting an excellent story that no one was reading because of the uhm..."disposition" of this community. I outsource my releases to another site also, where I get a few more eyes on, but not nearly the amount of feedback I get here...namely cuz of how that site is structured. It's not really a place for feedback and community discussion...just a place to go look at pretty pictures. I'm cool with the audience I have for my work now. Would it be awesome if more people read? Of course it would be. But I'll take the engagement and feedback I get here. It's rewarding either way.
