THE END (Broadchurch)

Kindly take note - all artwork created by i4dezign73 has been produced WITHOUT THE AID of AI apps. Also, i4dezign73 does not engage in the minting, tokenizing, or selling of NFTs. Therefore, if you come across anything related to i4dezign73, that you suspect is being used, sold, or exploited without the artist's approval, please be decent enough to notify the artist on Deviantart or via X - @ifourdezign. It's not nice, clever or kind to steal other people's artwork for personal financial gain, if you do, it will eventually bite you on the ass!



The now much older, but no less wiser, vertically challenged digital artist. Still shipping David Tennant and, (of course) Olivia Colman. In fact, most would probably say I'm borderline obsessive. Actually...forget the borders, I am :)


FanVid: It rarely gets any views, because it's unlisted, for reasons I won't go into. But, if like me, you are obsessed with the above OTP then you might appreciate - Indebted To You https://youtu.be/TqPoj6iZqWU



So, while I'm old enough to have been using PS for a few decades now, it's only been since around 2009, when I first started using it to manip art/fanart. Which means... it's already over a decade since I made my first Broadchurch piece! Where has the time gone?!?



This was in the guise of a mock-up S1 DVD cover, that some folk fail to realise was actually created long before the show was even filmed, let alone aired! Course, little did I know after S1 had finished that the same DVD cover would go viral. Mainly in Europe, as my work got mistook for being the 'official' BC1 DVD cover. Yeah...I wish!



By 2015, I was completely obsessed with both the show and its two leads. An obsession which, no doubt, had a part to play in getting approached by researchers at the BBC, for Graham Norton's chat Show. Who, via email, politely asked me if I would be willing to share some of my Broadchurch manips, so they could be shown at the recording. At the time, I had no idea what tone this recording would take but, as we later learned, it mainly centred around the 'sexual tension' between the two characters. (A tension that has never actually existed except in the mind of Ellie_Alec shippers).



So, was I bitter we didn't get more sexual tension between the two? 



Hell yeah! Or at least...I was back then. However, ask me the same question now and I'm much less troubled by the matter, now that end of series tensions and anxieties have passed. These days, I'm able to understand and appreciate better, why certain script choices were made. An open ending without complications or awkward commitments is a far better option than a predictable one that has nowhere else to go. And, who knows, maybe after Chibber's is done playing with the thirteenth doctor's Tardis he will revisit the old town and decide to drag them all out of the retirement home, kicking and screaming blue murder, and give us one more series. Or maybe two...perhaps even three... ;)



Regarding the fan art. With AI now dominating most art sites, Deviant Art included, I've made a conscious decision to pull back on the manipulation work. There's little point, and I can't compete with a computer! However, I have recently revised, and re-released, some of my DW/BC fanart into the public domain. This can be found on Redbubble, via links at my ifourdezign-da account (see link below).


Enjoy the old portfolio x
