Jayel Draco’s
Illustration Portfolio
Jayel Draco is the co-founder, illustrator, and lead designer of Oneshi Press, where he brings books, comics, prints, and merch to life with his incredible art. ✨📚 Several of Oneshi’s flagship titles feature Jayel’s stunning illustrations. The following galleries showcase samples of his creator-owned work on some of these projects. 🌟🖌️
Children of Gaia (COG):
COG: Concept Art
This Children of Gaia (COG) gallery highlights character and world design from Oneshi Press’s epic fantasy saga. 🌍🎨 On Rendaraia, where nature, magic, and civilization intertwine, Terran invaders have ignited war, devastating the land and its many cultures. 🛡️🌿 As Rendaraia fights for survival, its fate may be tied to the very interlopers threatening it. 🌐✨
Told through the eyes of those navigating this collision of worlds, COG weaves tales of survival, resistance, power, and transformation in an era of upheaval. ⚔️🌌
COG: Great Nations
🏰✨The five Great Nations of Rendaraia have stood for centuries as strongholds of culture, magic, science, and military strength. 🌟🔮🛡️ But one by one, the Nations mysteriously fall—each destroyed in a day, with no time for word or warning. 😱⚡ The intrepid scholar Jan’Ka’Zian sets out to record a complex network of intertwined cultures on the edge of complete and utter obliteration. 📚✨
Jayel Draco’s gorgeous illustrations present a vivid picture of elaborate cityscapes and mountain vistas, vast skyfaring fleets, and fantastic flora and fauna. 🏞️🚀🌸🦄
COG: War & Horses
Amid the dust and chaos of the People’s Republic of Draven, famine, drought, and simmering conflicts plague a fragile peace. 🌾⚔️ In this turmoil strides the enigmatic Triggerman—a figure cloaked in mystery, leaving nothing but chaos in his wake. 🕵️♂️🌪️ Some call him a hero, others a villain, but no one knows his true purpose.
Tracking his exploits is journalist Landon Ford, whose dime-store novels, War & Horses, captivate readers across Rendaraia and Terra. 📚✨ But as Ford uncovers the Triggerman’s secrets, he may stumble upon the story of his life—and the truth could change everything. 🧩🔍
COG: Photobashing
This gallery showcases the incredible photomanipulation work by Jayel Draco. These digital composites focus on character and world design for the ongoing fantasy epic “Children of Gaia” by Oneshi Press. 🌌🎨 Almost all of these stunning pieces are created from photos that Jayel himself has taken, including backgrounds comprised of numerous photos from his various travels and adventures. 🌍✨
Not only did Jayel create the digital magic, but he also crafted the costumes the models are wearing. 👗🔮 In some cases, even the plants and mushrooms composited into the backgrounds were grown by Jayel himself! 🌿🍄
🐾 PACK 🐾
In Brooklyn, corruption runs deep, and the only way to stay safe is to assume everyone is on the take. 🏙️ On these lawless streets, a pack of six stray dogs—and one stray man—protect the innocent, enforcing their own brutal justice as they put the bad-guys under the fang. 🐶✨🦴
To the PACK, it’s simple, theirs is the only acceptable violence, and their retribution is as swift as it is fierce. 🦁⚖️ But their vigilantism draws dangerous attention, forcing one rookie cop to choose a side before it’s too late. Things aren’t so black and white as they’re all about to discover. 🚔⏳
