JD – I’m not sure if you’re commenting to me or Wendy. In an abundance of vanity, I will assume you’re addressing me.
Your comment of “I hope to see more of your work” leads me to believe you’re addressing me, since Wendy already has items on this site. (and SO well painted, I’m jealous.. 
With that preamble out of the way.. THANK YOU! I always like getting positive feedback and I do feel good about my Strider figure. I feel like I can paint decently, but my caliber is way below certain people on this website.
And 54mm figs really are easier to paint.. wait until you see me butcher my 32mm Hobbit boxed set which should arrive any month now..
By the way, we all have different styles of painting and different levels of experience. I think the main thing is that you enjoy painting. I really liked your Rohirrim. The painting was good and the color scheme was brilliant.
