Here’s a sketch of Samson plowing through some Philistines.

Due to a mysterious crippling pain in my drawing hand that came and went and an unforseen problem where upgrading to Windows 7 made my old Serial port Wacom completely useless, I haven’t got much done when it comes to the comic. Today was the first day I was able to do some drawing without any pain.
On the left is a concept sketch for a Philistine warrior. The right shows a Snake-Eyes type character that may or may not ever appear in the comic. Do my undying adoration of the G.I. Joe Commando/Ninja and the fact that I have 4 Snake-Eyes action figures posed just underneath my monitor it was inevitable. I imagine him living alone in the dessert fighting a silent war against the Philistines. While I may never use him he’ll still be out there fighting the good fight.

I worked up this promotional piece of art for when it comes time for me to advertise the comic. I plan to make a few more of these buggers as time goes on.

Solomon Kane is Robert E. Howard’s second best creation, the first being Conan (the Barbarian not the Tonight Show host). According to the character’s Wikipedia entry Solomon Kane is a 16th century Puritan who “wanders the world with no apparent goal other than to vanquish evil in all its forms.” Sounds good to me. While the movie might very well stink the movie poster certainly doesn’t. That is one beautiful piece of art.

Well I spent a bit of time trying to come up with a witty name for the blog here at The Saga. Wanting it to both relate to the character of Samuel and random writings I played around with things like “The Samuel Chronicles” or “The Saga Scroll”. I even briefly entertained just calling it “The Blog of Samuel”. After plugging in a variety of words into an online thesaurus and/or dictionary I came upon the words “passing sentence” and I knew I had my name. It works like this see..Samuel was a Judge of Ancient Israel and while it’s not quite the same as a modern court of law judge it wasn’t all that different either so I’m sure sentences were passed. That’s the first meaning of the name, then you have the blog which, really, is just a bunch of sentences someone reads in passing. So..huuzzah! When I recovered from the absolute brillance of the name, I patted myself on the back and whipped up a logo for it. Works for me.
