Culminus (Infiniti)2018

Inspired by eschatological literature of the postexilic period, Culminus form the third and final volume in my Light versus Darkness series of deluxe, dark art poker playing cards. Culminus aims to represent ultimate evil and ultimate good with two standalone deck designs, Infernum and Infiniti, where infernal devils are seeking to wreak havoc to neutral men, and ethereal guardians are trying to stop them. In its essence, Culminus symbolises the moral compass and ethic dilemmas that all monarchs have faced in history and time as saints and sinners. The courts of Culminus are represented by restless devils fighting tireless guardians in eternal battle. Six devils who are passionately engaged in destroying the moral compass of neutral men, and six celestial guardians, with unbreakable spirits trying to secure the justice, peace and prosperity that is the light of this world. Each character is drawn in hand in collaboration with award winning illustrator Patrick Leis, and has a unique backstory that will be available to all backers. The Infernum deck has black cards matching the Dominus Obscura deck for consistency, while the Infiniti deck has a clean, white design to match it’s predecessor, the Dominus Divinus deck. Both decks have unique, distinctive pips, and an added index ornamentation as a ‘series finale’ touch to the design.
