This is another Photoshop / Illustrator mixed media work. In fact, I do believe there's even some background weirdness from KidsPix mixed in. There used to be a really cool third party filter set available for older versions of Photoshop (Photoshop 4.0 at this time) called Kai's Power Tools. KPT later got subsumed into some other name that is still available (at least I think it is) but it just isn't the same. The older KPT was very useful for generating various and interesting textures that you could employ in retouching (or "magic work") if you knew how to put it all together. That was where I created the beginnings of the lightning on the sword and all in the shield.
Yes, this one is definitely over-the-top, like you might expect for a piece intended for teens, and contains a lot of Biblical imagery. Like other pieces I have done, I intended it to be simpler, but it just kept growing in detail and in richness. The "X" is not a roman numeral, but refers to "Generation X"; a common term in the public dialogue at that time.
