I looked it over, like the art and the concept a lot, but everything came screeching to a halt when I saw what you did with the suit colors.  It's bad enough that you're using metallics on a dark background - most metallics are darker than they seem and the wrong choice of color can reduce the contrast dramatically, clouding the details and making it all look muddied.  But to make spades and hearts in gold, clubs and diamonds in sliver - WHY?  I can think of no good reason to break with convention like this, mismatching the suit pairs for the colors.  It's confusing and very non-standard.  That alone kills this project for me.  It's a shame, because up to that point, it was really looking pretty stellar.
