Well none of you probably know me, But I created a deck of cards called steampunk playing cards ( not theory11s or lance millers ) I have launched my second deck of playing cards on kickstarter. I mainly want to know how to improve my deck to make it more appealing to potential backers.
Here is the link to the project.

Here is the art.

I like the yellow and black back design, but the grey and black back needs some work in my opinion. I would lighten the background pattern to provide some more contrast and make the cards less "busy". I don't know about the court cards, they might benefit from more contrast as well, but I like your spot cards a lot.
 
I like the idea but the silhouette of the ape looks sorta weird to me. Maybe have him using a pipe? also the gray/black diagonal lines are pretty boring.
