Digital Hand Studios and YouTube


Digital Hand Studios will posting videos on YouTube Soon 

Digital Hand Studios has been slowly preparing for YouTube for this year by making screen videos of the drawing process of its current titles.  There are page drawing videos of The Legend of Old Cuban Samurai, Foreigner, Rise of Atlantis, and even some sketch covers that will be released soon.  Its been a slow start due to many obstacles that presented themselves for the first half of the year.  But as we start the second part of the year the opportunity have started to appear and have allowed for more video screen capture time and editing than previously.  Live streaming will be following very soon.   

SoFlo Panels is also following the lead to start producing videos for you guys about the local comic scene, artist interviews, and comic con previews.  We hope to release some videos and start some Live stream sessions and Q & As soon so keep posted.

In case you haven't been to New Your Comic Con 2017 or Megacon Orlando 2018, This is Earth's newest team of young defenders, Rise of Atlantis.  The group consist of several young demi-gods who use ancient alien technology to get them super powers.  Each of them take on a role of responsibility represented by a Greek god.  Under the organizational leadership and guidance of Dean Papadopoulos, AKA "Pops", the young guardians help defend the world through their secret missions.

The story begins through the journey of the team's newest member, Zack, a young Indian genius who is starting his university studies.  He is recruited by the young gods and given an amazing opportunity to make a real difference in the world.  This is the story of the trials that Zack must face and endure to become the next young demi-god.  

Rise of Atlantis: Young Gods is a full colored graphic novel by Robert Estape and art by Andres R. Prieto, under Digital Hand Studios.  The book is scheduled to be released by the end of the year but is looking into publishing through Image Comics, a large publisher of independent comic books.
