An illustrated card for the 5 of Diamonds, featuring Odile from the game In Stars and Time. Odile, whose eyes are cut off by the border of the card, stares down at the book she's reading, a small frown on her face. The book has two diamonds on the front and the back, with another subtle diamond shown in the hole near the book's spine. That along with the tiny diamonds attached to her glasses frame both sides of her face add up to 5 diamonds in total.

An illustrated card for the 9 of Clubs, featuring Mirabelle from the game In Stars and Time. There are 9 copies of Mirabelle on the card, though 8 of them bear the mask of the Change God. However, none of them show different expressions; instead the masks almost seem to be hollowed out and dim eyes pierce through the shadows, pupils staring directly to the real Mirabelle who is at the bottom left of the card.

The actual Mirabelle, who is not wearing a mask, pays no mind to them, as she is gripping the hands of Siffrin's gloved ones (who is offscreen). She has a surprised expression on her face.

An illustrated card for the Queen of Clubs, featuring Mirabelle and Euphrasie from the game In Stars and Time. Mirabelle has her back facing to the viewer, her face buried into Euphrasie's dress as she wraps her into a desperate hug, post beating the King. Euphrasie smiles softly, with one arm holding Mirabelle and the other gently patting Mirabelle's head. There are clubs in the background framing them.

An illustrated card for the 8 of Spades, featuring Siffrin and Mal du Pays from the game In Stars and Time. Siffrin, who looks extremely scared, holds up a spade (representing his dagger) as they stare head on. Two spades frame both sides of him, and there is another spade in the point of their hat.

Behind them are four copies of Mal du Pays mirroring each other from both sides. They have inverted colours compared to Siffrin, and their spade daggers held up. Two of them have it held as if ready to attack, the other two have it held up to their throats.

The card background is no longer just white, but a gradient that starts white from the top and goes into black towards the bottom.

An illustrated card for the King of Spades, featuring Siffrin and the King from the game In Stars and Time. The whole battlefield is shrouded in shadows, including the King and Siffrin. The King is in his usual pose; gauntlets pressed up to his face and hair flowing all around him. Siffrin stands there still, dagger already out.

The background are a sea of white spades against a black backdrop, similar to the background seen when fighting the King in-game.

An illustrated card for the Jack of Diamonds, featuring Odile and Bonnie from the game In Stars and Time. Odile is sitting down, reading a book. She is smiling softly as she does so. Her free hand reaches behind her to where Bonnie is sitting, and ruffles their hair. Bonnie, who is sitting cross-legged, looks very pleased.

Diamonds float in the background, and the spot that the two of them are sitting in is also a diamond.

An illustrated card for the Jack of Clubs, featuring Mirabelle and Bonnie from the game In Stars and Time. Mirabelle is sitting down, reading a book to Bonnie, who is leaning over and hugging one of her arms. They have a very surprised but eager expression on their face, one side of their cheek squished against Mirabelle's arm. Mirabelle doesn't mind this at all, smiling happily.

Clubs float in the background, and the spot that the two of them are sitting on is a club as well.

A variation of an illustrated card for the Jack of Hearts, featuring Isabeau and Bonnie from the game In Stars and Time. Isabeau has Bonnie sitting on his shoulders, and is supporting Bonnie's legs by holding them by their knees. Bonnie is incredibly ecstatic, kicking their legs and gripping Isabeau's hair as tightly as they can. Isabeau, though is wincing slightly at Bonnie's grip, is smiling widely as he looks up at them.

Hearts float in the background all over the card.

An illustrated card for the Jack of Spades, featuring Siffrin and Bonnie from the game In Stars and Time. This is a nod to the scene where Siffrin hugs Bonnie, even down to the side view perspective. The only difference here, is that Siffrin is smiling softly as they hug Bonnie, one of his hands on Bonnie's back and another against their hat. Bonnie looks comfy as they wrap both their hands around Siffrin.

Spades are scattered around the card in the background.

An illustrated card for the 10 of Hearts, featuring Isabeau. This particular card is a nod to the scene where Isabeau finally confesses to Siffrin. Isabeau is staring at the camera, flushed, at Siffrin who is out of sight, grasping their gloved hands. Hearts fly around him haphazardly, nine in total, but with one big heart stamped on his chest.

The background is a soft gradient of gray with cloud outlines. This art accompanies the 10 of Spades.

An illustrated card for the 10 of Spades, featuring Siffrin. This particular card is a nod to the scene where Isabeau finally confesses to Siffrin. Siffrin is staring at the camera, at Isabeau who is off-screen. They have a dreamy kind of smile on their face, with hearts in his eyes. Their hands are steepled together, gripped by Isabeau's own hands. 10 spades frame the borders of the card, five on each side and pointing downwards.

Similar to the 10 of Hearts, there is a soft grey gradient in the background and cloud outlines. This accompanies the 10 of Hearts card specifically.

It's been nearly a month since I've talked about my ISAT cards, so you get to see them again, but only the ones that are my favourites and look cool to me. Not that the whole pack wasn't an effort of love, but the clubs and spades was me basically copy and pasting an outline and reworking the expression to be different.

I won't be posting all the cards here (since you can download them on itchio and did you know it's also pinned to my blog???) but you at least get to see the full Jack set for the suits. Was always going to make Bonnie be the Jack from the very beginning.

Also, a variation of the Jack of Hearts card because I found a stupidly funny reference on Google under the cut:
