"That's what I admire about you, Korra. Your willingness to go to extremes in order to get what you want. It is a quality we both share."

What very well may be one of my final pieces in this neato series I've been doing. This one turned out very well. Went off of the reference image I used quite a lot for once.

Tarrlok is definitely one of the more interesting characters introduced in Legend of Korra. Jerks with depth always are to an extent. There are many criticisms I had with LOK but Tarrlok was not one of them.

Legend of Korra and all related characters belong to Viacom/Nickelodeon

Art is mine

I so agree with that statement! Tarrlok, in my opinion, is one of the best characters on the show because of that. And frankly I've still bitter over the boat scene - that end they gave him when it looked like he was about to embark on a redemption arc - was totally out of place and unjustified and really it was purely there only for shock value. >.< *angry*

I actually don't mind it that much. While a redemption arc could have very well been an interesting concept I think that the creators method of having more self contained books would instantly put the kibosh on that. And In a way what happened was in a somewhat twisted way Tarrlok's own idea for redemption. And as shocking as it may have been if it was just for shock value no kid's network in their damn mind would let a Murder/Suicide occur on screen. For that matter you never know... Maybe it's a fake out?

I just think everything about the character was handled with a lot of class. There are always "What ifs" and all that jazz but for what happened it was a very solid and mature character arc for an antagonist character. Most don't get that in fiction overall.

I would agree, honestly thought the murder suicide was well placed. It totally blew me away that they allowed it. But considering how many times Avatar skirts around with the censors, it wasn't surprising.
