The Price of Progress: Book One - Page 4 (WIP Update) (Patreon)

Here's the work so far on the next page of the Korr- oh wait, it's this asshole again?!

That's right, the next page features former president Raiko having himself a good ol' rant on his radio show. Folks probably won't like what he has to say, but that's just par for the course when it comes to this character.

And yes, Raiko having his own radio show is official canon. It isn't mentioned in any of the post-show comics, but he does have a paragraph written on him in the Republic City supplement book to the Avatar Legends TTRPG. When I first read it, I knew I needed to include him in my comic.

This was my first time drawing Raiko so I felt a little uneasy going into this page, and took some time for practice drawings beforehand, which I included in this post. I also took the time to slightly tweak his design. Since this comic takes place not too long after Ruins of the Empire, I didn't have any intention of redesigning any of the other characters. But since Raiko is no longer the president and we haven't seen him in a while, I thought it'd make sense for him to want to update his look a little bit and go with something more casual that still fits his style.

Expect the finished page in a few days!
