Clockwork: Dominion Card Design

I illustrated and designed a deck of 100 cards for Reliquary Game Studios' flagship game, Clockwork: Dominion. It's a steampunk/gothic horror roleplaying game using cards rather than dice. Since the setting of the game is "a clockwork world" set in the victorian era, I used steampunk and art nouveau elements to create the aesthetic of the cards.
The card face design was inspired by Art Nouveau posters of the late 19th century.

The back of the card features two nephilim characters as part of the "clockwork world" metaphor that is prevalent within the game. The design was based off of the traditional Bicycle card deck but with a steampunk twist.
