Return to the realm of Chinese astrology and celestial creatures with ARK‘s grand finale, the “White Tiger” Playing Cards on Kicktarter. This deck is the culmination of ARK’s acclaimed Four Beasts series, which has garnered widespread acclaim among collectors.
In Chinese astrology, the White Tiger is a celestial beast that reigns over the western sky, symbolizing conquest and judgment. It is one of the four mythological creatures, alongside the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, that form the ancient Chinese concept of the celestial realm.
This deck continues ARK’s tradition of innovation, artistry, and collectability. It features beautiful artwork, stunning holo foil, and an amazing ark tuck case. The playing cards’ color palette is visually pleasing! The White Tiger takes center stage in black and gold/silver, while the rest of the cards feature full-page gold foil material, creating a luxurious and intricate design.
The White Tiger illustration showcases a Mythology Beast amidst a sea of flowers. It employs soothing, elongated vines that wind around the resolute White Tiger, capturing the beauty of meticulous realism and Eastern freehand brushwork. The seven-layer paper-cut tuck case is a standout feature, seamlessly combining storage and presentation.
Fully custom, the court cards portray generals and officers of different military ranks, wielding traditional Chinese weapons. The Aces and Jokers in this deck continue the theme of golden vines and black frame patterns from the card backs.
