The Fortune Cookie - Illustrated Book

How's going?! Well, is a long time since we see each other. You know, so much business meetings and really hard work [u _ u] (the truth is I'm a lier and a lazy, laaazy guy).

This project is a college work that is basically to illustrate 10 quotes to the little book "The Fortune Cookie". Really deep quotes indeed.

These pics was a good opportunity to practice my digital painting (I'm finally entering in this magic world) and workflow. Very well! No more talking, let's go to the images!
I hope you enjo....

Oh wait, wait! I forgot it! I have now kinda a blog ... the original idea is just to force me to draw everyday but doesn't have working so well. Does not have so much things there but whether you want to see the making process of these illustrations just check out here.
 
Now that's all, I hope you enjoy. To the images!!

All the character who don't shows the front body are in the cover. Or not....
Just kidding, all them are hir.
"The love of your life is stepping into your planet this summer"
The illustration that defined all the characteristics for the pics: strong color palette, white spaces and one character who doesn't shows the body front. The original idea for this quote came from my friend .
"A very attractive person has a message for you"
Just trying to keep the idea hir. Actually the idea of a character with no face was created in this pic. This pic and the first one had to be reedited because both was different than the last ones.
 
"You already know the answer to the questions lingering inside your head"
The first image that I tried to do a better render. Obviously that was not my idea, my lector ask me to do, but I was so useful because this is the goal of this project anyway. Improve my digital paintings skills and get some donuts...wait, what?
"You can make your own happiness"
I really liked this idea for thee illustration. You get it? Hum? Hum? "Make your own happiness"? Hum? Get it?
(sorry about that)
"A dream you have will come true"
A ninja! A rocket! An unicorn! Ninja - Rocketnicorny! 
Aeeehoooo!
"It is now and in this world, that we must live"
I would like to put more details on this one (and all the other pics). Well, at least I liked the girl's legs...
What?! Don't look at me this way! '  -'
"Wealth awaits you very soon"
I really don't like this one. I think is because I had to make changes when all the other already done. And inexplicably the guy at below is similar to a friend.
"Adversity is the parent of virtude"
Shame on me for this illustration. I don't put a joke on it (T  ^T)
Give me a break guys, 9 of 10 deep quotes illustrated as stupid jokes is a good score u  , u
"If you feel you are right, stand firmly by your convictions"
My favourit joke aaand it's obvious that I almost with no ideas for the illustrations. I liked the color palette, mainly  the green of the guacamole. 
"The greatest risk is not taking one"
You see? Now I'm oficially with no ideas. Joke with man in chicken costume....oh lord, why?
