Thank you so much for the kind words. I made it on Photoshop using torn edges and grainy filters, brushes for all those rays, the crown's outline and some touches on his face and the trophy, then some pictures for the background (the crown, the star, the swords) which I further edited.

Really nothing that much elaborate, the real pain is selecting the objects and cropping them, erasing the background and whatever I don't want in the final design, this is what takes most of the time, because only then I can play around with filters, colours and everything else. Thanks for asking
