yes i think your art is great, but today i'm am here to tell you that I LOVE YOUR NAME! too cool....

Oonagh R. McAreavy replies: "Eee-yeah... Sudden interest in name ... paranoia rising...! Interesting fact: 'Oonagh' is a very common name in Ireland and Northern Ireland. There were two Oonaghs (not including me) and one Una (alternative spelling, same pronounciation) in my class at one point. Four people all answering to the same name. Fun game to play - shout the name and see us all look up."

God bless Irish spelling. I narrowly avoided being called Niamh, which just would have confused everyone. You left such an inspired comment on my page (opal furits and elephants) I had to visit - and sure enough, it would appear you're just as happily crazed as I thought! Good for you! But crazed in a good way: wonderful drawings I'll go now...

Oonagh R. McAreavy replies: "I had to go back and check what I commented on! But yes, happily crazed is good. Better than being morosely crazed..."

*flips through notebooks* Lets see...

First Page of English- four character designs, two partial bios, and a dragon. Amount of notes taken: three lines.

First Page of Comp. Apps.- a prolouge for a story, three mini-bios, and an abstract mountain landscape sans character. Amount of notes taken: two definitions.

First Page of Science- A distorted monster-thing with six arms and wierd eyes. Yeeeah... Amount of notes taken: not worth mentioning.

Heh... I sympathize, although I probably need my notes rather less, being fifteen and in much easier classes. *glares at muses* They're as bad as a motri band. *pause* Ummm... they're irritating, loud, and unfortunately important? Just... nevermind. On to the important bits.

You're artwork is lovely. I'm developing something of an obsession. You're character designs are terribly unique, and you obviously have an excellent grasp on anatomy. *peers around* Dost thou update often?

...I was serious about that obsession.

Oonagh R. McAreavy replies: "Don't underestimate your notes now - I still go back to my old ones, and I needed them all to get to the point of study I'm at now! *hits muses for Lena* As for the anatomy - my grasp may be good, but see getting it onto the page in a way that satisfies me? Grrr. I try to update as often as possible. If you want I can drop you an email to let you know when my tickets go through. Also, you could check out my deviantART gallery (http://randomonia.deviantart.com) which has non-fantasy stuff as some of the art from here too. *mental note: add link to profile*"

i sympathise with you, i went to an all girls school for three years. not my thing really, look how i ended up.(wierd). besides, i like your work, the happy stuff that is, but as you say, it is all happy (You wish). that is not the point, i think it is quiet an inspiration to me and anyone else visiting your page. ps, you are the first irish person i have seen on here and i have been looking a long time, i forgot to sign in. pss. i like your work as i have said.psss. i am sorry if you think i am wierd.

Oonagh R. McAreavy replies: "As I often say, everyone is weird in their own little way. Rejoice in yours."

Hey, have you read prophecy of the stones? Well one of the characters has your name!

Oonagh R. McAreavy replies: "Really? There's an evil queen in another story called Oonagh. Forget what book it is though..."

Ok, appologies for the double comment, but I actually sat and looked through every picture in your gallery simply because I found myself commenting on most of them.

I love your colouring style. And the way you draw. And your muse is just sooo damned cool, as is Padrig (I spelt that wrong didn't I?) the dragon. I'd beg you for an art trade, but then I wouldn't be able to draw to anywhere near your standard. *Pouts then gets over it*

Oonagh R. McAreavy replies: "Eff. I'm still wondering if Padraig (yep, you left out an 'a', but I forgive you!) will be drawn by Muscilini's owner, Ruth Campion. I'm still up for art trades. Might get my imagination working again... *sighs* Stupid lab work killing off imagination."

I'm not the only one who named my muse! I drew mine too though. Have you? *Goes to look and meander through gallery*

Oonagh R. McAreavy replies: "Aaah! And now I understand the comment on the ashley comic! Got to that one first, you see."

I like most of your stuff. It's light, happy, and colorful. I also enjoyed your descriptions. I personally hate writing about my pictures but you do it in an interesting and funny way.

Oonagh R. McAreavy replies: "If I didn't write out what was going on, there would be spontaneous brain poppings from everyone looking at my pictures! Or my brain would explode from people trying to decide the inpsirations and meanings of the pictures. *shakes head* But thank you - it's nice to hear someone say I'm funny!"

Wonderful eye-tour, congratulations! I myself am an eye fanatic, I love to draw them, because they can express so much and the can be so many kinds of them.

I just finished browsing your entire gallery, and I just thought I would drop a line and say that I enjoyed it very much! It was all beautiful, and very interesting. I enjoyed reading about each picture too. Lovely, lovely work. Keep it up!

Oonagh R. McAreavy replies: "Aw, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the reading aspect - a lot of people seem to skip my descriptions and stare in bewilderment at the pictures and then miss the point entirely. "
