Fantasy. Families. Lion.
Steve Minty‘s Ascension Playing cards are epically designed and illustrated as an homage to his beloved TV series, Game of Thrones while giving it a spin in his style and interpretation. The deck features fully custom artwork from the gorgeous Aces, to the pips, indices, and courts featuring characters from the series.
The deck design features the essence of the families as a foundation. The Wolves were dark, brooding and stalwart whereas the Lions were opulent, lush and ornate. In addition to that, the moon and sun design motifs are incorporated in the deck as wolves have been synonymous with howling at the moon and lions basked in the warmth of the sun. The motifs visually contrasted with both families.
The tuck itself will also be metallic foiled but done in a way where it does not lose focus from the figurehead. Printed by the United States Playing Card Co.
