Title: The O's Art
Post by: The Otaku on 5 June 2008, 01:27:11
I've finally done it. I've found the time to make an art thread displaying some of my works. Feel free to comment and criticize, diss and praise, and whatever else you wanna do with this. Some of them don't have my 'signature' on them, so please don't take advantage of that and claim it as your own. I also do customs free of charge, just ask through PM. Show your appreciation by leveling up my Pokemon, please and thank you!

Shame about Cloud...

What about Cloud?


Title: Re: The O's Art

Just that he exists.

What? Have a thing against Cloud?


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: ASR on 5 June 2008, 01:53:24
I was going to post "I don't like Cloud. Not the drawing. The drawing is fine."

But Abe's got me covered.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: Johncarllos on 5 June 2008, 01:55:37
The drawing of cloud is good, but the board opinion here is that FFVII is over rated.
I'm indifferent.
Doesn't make the drawing any worse.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: The Otaku on 5 June 2008, 01:58:42
FFVII is okay. Cloud is just cute.

I'm bored. Does anyone want a request?


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: Johncarllos on 7 June 2008, 03:06:59
Yes.
I have a request.
I request that you draw Naruto dressed like a Shinigami.
An Otaku should have no problem with that.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: The Otaku on 7 June 2008, 03:11:31
Okay. I'll have it done, probably, by tomorrow.

She's going to have a hard time tracing something like that.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: The Otaku on 7 June 2008, 03:37:28
I don't trace, dimwit. What do you trace, pictures of your mom? Just keeedddiiiing. I'm not that mean. Eh heh . . .

Post by: Someguy on 7 June 2008, 03:42:03
I don't trace, dimwit. What do you trace, pictures of your mom?

By the look of some of those pics you got there it looks like you do trace so you can't blame anyone for assuming you trace, and that joke was lame


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: The Otaku on 7 June 2008, 04:59:36
I don't trace. I'm more of a copy artist. I can never come up with anything original, so I just copy cool looking stuff, which might explain why I look like I trace.

And in case you didn't get it, you know how Sano's art is ugly, and then I said he probably traces pictures of his mom . . . But I'm not that cruel. I'd never insult anyone's mom seriously, even Sano's.


Title: Re: The O's Art

Whatever. She didn't trace, by the look of her other art she has enough talent to just look at the picture and copy it. That's not a bad thing at all, I do it after all. Also, Sano, lay off.


Title: Re: The O's Art

So, my art's ugly because I don't steal it like you do?

Whatever. She didn't trace, by the look of her other art she has enough talent to just look at the picture and copy it. That's not a bad thing at all, I do it after all. Also, Sano, lay off.

So, it's okay for her to randomly tell me my stuff sucks, but I'm not allowed to do the same?


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: The Otaku on 7 June 2008, 05:10:21
Your art's ugly because it comes from your head.


Title: Re: The O's Art

So imagination = ugly?


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: preventerWIND on 7 June 2008, 05:12:01
Sano you're just being a real dick, everyone has to start somewhere. A friend told me that, wasn't it you Someguy? I did it too at one time like I said.

Otaku, I really doubt lashing back will do any good right now.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: The Otaku on 7 June 2008, 05:13:29
Sigh. No art is ugly, okay? Sano's just seems different to me. My idea of pretty are thing that have sharp lines and don't look like my brother drew it. But yours might be that Sano's are the greatest works of art since Van Gogh. I can draw imaginative things as well, they just don't look pretty.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: preventerWIND on 7 June 2008, 05:17:10
That's Sano's style, it's good, it's bad. Who cares? When people criticize your art you shouldn't criticize theirs.


Title: Re: The O's Art

Sano, seriously, stop being a dick. It seems like your flaming Otaku for no reason now. I haven't seen one post of yours directly at Otaku that's been remotely positive.

#####ing stop. It's not funny.

Okay JC, I've completed the Naruto drawing. It's listed under special. And I added some additional stuff as well, including an interesting conversation between me and my friend Alex in our oh-so boring Social Studies class.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: Johncarllos on 8 June 2008, 01:30:32
Impressive.
Not a bad Naruto shinigami at all.
What did you use for the pose?
I can tell the head is from scratch.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: The Otaku on 8 June 2008, 01:34:38
Everything was from scratch. I just woke up this morning and felt bored, so I decided to work on the drawing. Maybe I just used memories of Ichigo's robes for a reference, but a reference was not physically in front of my eyes. Though I kinda messed up on the feet, as the persepective of them was different from that of the rest of the body. And also, I suck at hands, which explains why I hid Naruto's right hand with the thing on his sword.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: preventerWIND on 8 June 2008, 05:20:38
I'm sorry my sprites aren't that good.  I'm kinda new to it. Oh, and before I forget, that Protoman MegaSoul is a recolor of a wonderful Protoman sprite portrait by Dragon_Hero.

You should start a little harder and go on to more difficult edits. And that Protoman is actually from a BN game.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: Yubi Shines on 8 June 2008, 07:40:03
I never thought I'd ever take Sano's side in anything, but...

I'm really not impressed.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/yubishines/misc/yotsuba.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v73/yubishines/misc/amikurimoto.jpg

It took a little Google-digging, but there you go. I could find others, but...

Hon, there's no shame in needing to copy to learn, but you can't call it your own or post it as if you made it. The first step is making your own stuff.

The difference between copying artwork and using a photograph for reference is  photorealistic artwork takes a lot of skill. Or, if you do like I do, and look for pose references, you don't eyeball the photograph and copy every strand of hair, but you use it to figure out where things go in relation to each other, the way the back curves, so on and so forth.

I'm just a little disappointed that this sort of thing is happening in Matrix.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: Mikero on 8 June 2008, 08:26:05
She said that she redrew images that already existed. She didn't really claim otherwise.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: Abominator on 8 June 2008, 13:32:33
Personally, I copy stuff all the time, especially now that I'm doing drawings from photos a lot of the time.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: preventerWIND on 8 June 2008, 14:58:54
She definitely has enough skill to start her own stuff, and work on that completely.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: The Otaku on 8 June 2008, 15:55:37
Well my whole portfolio isn't formed out of copied images, if you haven't noticed. And you should be aware of the fact that I myself already stated that I AM A COPY ARTIST. Everyone get's it. I'M A FRIGGIN' COPY ARTIST.

And for your information I didn't COPY the Yotsuba from the anime. I COPIED it from the manga.

You googled images and made several incriminating images to deface me? Wow. You remind me of a milder Sano.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: MOX on 8 June 2008, 17:48:25
It looks more like she's giving you helpful advice than anything.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: Johncarllos on 8 June 2008, 18:03:15
Yeah, you took it too heavily.
Chill.

Have you looked at her art?
Anything she says will help you.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: The Otaku on 8 June 2008, 18:05:43
Yes, actually I have, and it's not my type.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: MOX on 8 June 2008, 18:11:55
That doesn't have anything to do with the fact she's just giving advice.

Wasn't it you who said at the begining of the topic: "Feel free to comment and criticize, diss and praise, and whatever else you wanna do with this. "


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: preventerWIND on 8 June 2008, 18:20:02
We're just trying to give you advice, you can draw better for sure. We know you're a copy artist and we're saying you should move on.

Don't get mad at Yubi for anything, shes just stating the facts, and is nowhere near as offensive as some of the things Sano may say. Like JC said, take her advice, it may not be your "type" but she's very talented.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: The Otaku on 8 June 2008, 18:22:18
Yes, I am aware of the fact I said "feel free to comment and criticize, diss and praise, and whatever else you wanna do with this." But I never said that I would comply with it obediently.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: preventerWIND on 8 June 2008, 18:25:26
Well that was stupid to say, thats like saying "Sure you can have a bite of my sandwich" and then blowing their head off for taking a bite. We're not getting angry at you and dissing your art, we're just giving you some criticism.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: The Otaku on 8 June 2008, 18:29:05
Wind, I'm stupid.

 :-\

Sigh. Fine. Thank you for your criticism.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: preventerWIND on 8 June 2008, 18:31:44
We'd like to see more from you, don't take this as a discouragement. Just next time don't copy or anything, like that shinigami naruto thing, it was real stuff, which we like to see.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: The Otaku on 8 June 2008, 18:33:34
Dude, Yotsuba & Ami were the only copies.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: ASR on 8 June 2008, 18:57:13
Regardless, it was just casual criticism. Not only that, but it was accompanied with irrefutable proof to back up her claims. You can't even get mad over that.

If you flip out over a little thing like this (and Yubi was genuinely trying to be helpful and express her own disdain over the matter) you're never going to be able to handle most problems in everyday life.

Not everyone is going to like everything you do. In fact, most people don't like everything anyone does.

Take any famous actor for example. I'm pretty sure just as many people hate Ashton Kutcher as there are that love him. Same with Tom Cruise and Shia LeBouf and Mel Gibson. To be more relative to the situation, takes artists in the same veign.

You can't please everyone, and you were never meant to.

Be thankful that the people you didn't please on this board were actually kind enough to be nice about it and offer advice.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: The Otaku on 8 June 2008, 19:11:37
New sketch. This is a partly ORIGINAL drawing. Made it a few monthes ago after reading the book Bunker 10, and drew the main character Jake, or whatever his name is, I forgot, based on the book's description.

By the way, you should read that book, I found it as a good read.

I'd just like to point out that if people don't put art in their posts, and link to it elsewhere, I never see it, because I'm as lazy as sin.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: Yubi Shines on 8 June 2008, 19:48:21
Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson? I'm flattered. Do I get to call someone sugartits and fly off in a spaceship now?

Believe you me, I could easily be a lot nastier and more abrasive. I don't have many hot buttons, but this sort of thing is one of 'em. But screeching and throwing poop at things isn't civilized. I can't fathom why.

Hokay, you want real advice? Here it is. Draw from observation. Photographs, things on your desk, things around you, people on the train, tangible things. If I could start over, I would have done that. Even if you want to draw anime, because (and this has been hammered at me over and over, from bloody everywhere until I was sick of hearing it, but) you need to know what a person actually looks like before you distort it into a cartoon.

Check this tutorial (http://cedarseed.deviantart.com/art/Big-Guide-to-Drawing-the-Body-15014442) out, as well as Tigrin's Drawing with Sincerity (http://tigrin.deviantart.com/art/Drawing-with-Sincerity-25300526). I wouldn't try and read all of the first one at once, just refer to it every now and then, but definitely read through Sincerity.

Same with me, but I might check it if somebody posts something like " Very good stuff" or
"I like the _____".


Title: Re: The O's Art

Yeah, so check it out, as thd majority of people who've posted here like my art.

Post by: Winged Warrior on 8 June 2008, 21:42:06
I'm more of a copy artist.

You and anyone else who draws anime/manga from the US...

No offence, but it isn't that great of a trait. Try making yourself a character or something. Something that is YOURS.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: Mikero on 8 June 2008, 22:30:20
If you want to be good you're going to have not only take criticism, but SEEK it out. You don't know this but I'm in college for this stuff, it's my career. You have to go after criticism and do a LOT of revisions if you want a future in this. If you just want to draw for a hobby that's fine, then you don't have to do anything you don't want to. But if so, you aren't allowed to get pissy.

Deconstructive critism need not apply, of course.

I skip stuff like that too, sometimes.

Actually, I'd love to embed video in my posts so animations wouldn't get looked over but even if that were possible it would slow down my thread and there's no way I'm gonna do that.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: ChaosVortex on 8 June 2008, 22:38:40
As what was done at AF, if someone gives me a pissy mood after I give them criticism on their work, I'll just stop looking at it. It's really stupid.

"Hey, tell me what you think about my work!"
"The eyes aren't straight, and his hands are awkward."
"STFU. Everyone else like my art, so stop."


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: Mikero on 8 June 2008, 22:41:35
I withhold a lot of my comments on people's art because I'm used to the way it is in Animation, and I realize it would sounds very harsh. My candor can surprise if one isn't used to the level of crit.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: The Otaku on 9 June 2008, 02:47:27
I don't act all pissy at every single piece of criticism, but I think the reason why I was mad was because although I had already said I was a copy artist, Yubi still managed to type out a whole post about copying and make two pictures that revealed my copies. Plus I always post about the mess-ups I think I made after updating my art list, and if someone exxagerated those screw-ups and rubbed it in my face or something, then I'd get mad.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: Mikero on 9 June 2008, 03:41:28
I think it was pretty clear that Yubi didn't realize you'd said that you were a "copy artist" (a term I refuse to recognize) and was not just rubbing it in you face.

No. For example, I said that the perspective was not the same throughout the whole picture of the Naruto Shinigami. If you had said the upper body was a tad too small, compared to the much longer lower body, then I would have coped without acting up. But if you said your picture is ugly, it looks funny, you did it all wrong, or something like that then I'd get mad. If you're going to criticize me then please do so in a polite way.

Do you really want me to be rude? Because so far I've been pretty civil. I haven't even threatened to dismember you and plant your spine in a flowerpot for the cat to piss on. I'm just saying.

I don't approve of posting traced/copied pictures, without even linking back to the original. And I do think they were traced, because too many of the lines match up for it to have just been referenced. I also do not believe you are at a skill level where you can look at a picture and render it perfectly. I'm suspicious of the Ichigo Rukia pictures as well, because of the style difference.

I don't doubt there is a market for copied paintings, but I do not consider it art.

On your actual drawings? Okay. I think you rely on the three-quarter view of the head too much, and you draw hands and feet far too small. (An open hand should be big enough, fingers and all, to cover your face, and a foot is about as long as your forearm.) There doesn't seem to be definition where the arm ends and the wrist/hand begins. You also very much need to learn how to draw fingers, because even when you just draw them balled into fists, it's really obvious.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: Mikero on 9 June 2008, 21:24:48
A foot is not as long as a forearm.

It's true the lines match up to the originals a lot, but I don't see the pencil weight of tracing in those lines.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: Winged Warrior on 9 June 2008, 21:52:55
I don't think tracing is "wrong," It does give the beginner a good feel for the lines, and gets the arm used to angles, proportions, what have you.

Traced images are not things to be showcased. I understand you say that you didn't trace, and that's why I believe this is just another plot from the american goverment to hide the fact that aliens exist!

Wow this thread has turned into what deviant art should be! People actually criticizing works of art.

In any event, Otaku, don't pay any mind to the occasional stupid and thoughtless jabber which might come from this forum... or from the internet for that matter. If you're going to post stuff online, be prepared for some mean feedback because the net is just like that.

As for being a copy-artist... people, it helps artists become better. When I was young, that's all I did until I was about 14 when I started to draw on my own without references and I was pretty impressed with what I could pull out. I believe it is necessary to first crawl before you run. Otaku is doing just that. Give her a few years and who knows how good she'll be without references.

Gervin looks a lot like I'd imagine a friend of mine looking in that style. That's pretty cool.

I like your style, for the most part. It has a sketchy, "street art" quality to it that I dig. My only real complaint is how generic it is, but that's easily fixed by picking bits up from that whole "drawing from life" thing that Mike was talking about.


The proportion's a little weird on some of them (specifically noting Cloud's arm), but you've got an idea of the basics, and a good start. Just keep going with it, but remember to look and see where you're not entirely happy with things, and then fix them until you are (or as close as humanly possible to).

New sketch has been added. I drew it on a yellow divider in Reading & LA. We were watching Shrek for no reason at all and I was bored. Thus began the creation of this. My friend told me to draw anything and I drew her with a guy named Ken. Ken because she always sings 'Barbie Girl' and wishes there's a guy named Ken so she could sing with him.

Now to the drawing. Please, no heavy criticism on this, it's just a sketch. Nina came out a bit too skinny, almost anorexic. And for some reason Ken looked fruity. But Nina liked it enough to write 'hot ass' over him, so I guess that's that.

Well. She's not exactly normal.

Moving on, I've just uploaded a sort of collage I worked on a while back. Contains most of the Guilty Gear characters. I'd say I'm pleased with it. But only Anji, the dude with the glasses and spiky hair, came out nicely. Sol, the large guy on the left, has a lower body that's way too low. It looks funny. And all the other characters in the background were just crappy stuff I threw in to make the work look full and collage-y.

Posted on: 12 June 2008, 21:56:29

New art! This time starring my hero, Batman! In the background is Gotham City. Plus there's a full moon. (I don't know why I had to say that.)

I think I did really well on this, only the coloring of the night sky, which looks slighty crappy, looks funny. I don't why. The shading, I find, was good. Overall, I'd say this is a real good work.

NOTE: I didn't copy this from anywhere, I was bored at my cousin's house so I drew this to show off to my aunt.

YES I DO. Batman's filthy rich, he owns a mansion and a Batmobile, he's a hot playboy, he's filthy rich, and he doesn't need superpowers to be a hero and be DC's poster boy.

The only thing Nightwing's got are some tights that look slightly different from Batman's minus the cape, and a variation of a Mardi Gras mask from Party City.


Title: Re: The O's Art

Do you actually read any Batman or Nightwing comics, or just pretend to know what you're talking about? I do. I get the impression you only watch the movies and cartoon stuff with Batman in it, in which you don't actually know anything. It's fine if you don't, but don't come at me like you do.

And for the record, I was never comparing Nightwing to Batman, because that would be stupid.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: The Otaku on 18 June 2008, 02:17:17
I do read the comics, but most of them are all Superman/Batman. (By the way, those're great.) I think I read one which had Nightwing in it. Batman Cataclysm, that's what it was. And it was okay.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: Mikero on 18 June 2008, 02:29:51
OK well I suggest you read Nightwing: Year One or Nightwing: Blood Brothers. They're very good. I'm just saying Nightwing is great, not saying he's better than Batman. I wouldn't really compare the two, they're rather different at the end of the day.

Edit: Oh yeah, Superman Batman is a great series. Though, I can't take Batman in solo stuff right now because the writer's aren't doing a great job.

New sprites! I think these are a lot better than the other ones. The sprites are from Clash & Bass. Y' know, that funny comic that reminds you of a twisted Bob & George? Tha adress is on the sprite sheet.

Anyways, I did recolors of three different characters. The first one was Megaman with some sort of jet pack or something sticking out his back. He originally came in red. I restored him to his Blue Bomber status. And the other one is Fandango. I made two recolors of him. He originally came in red and black. I think. Those two sprites, Mega and Fandango, weren't actual characters in the comic, just miscellaneous "junk", as FatSatan calls them. But I think they were pretty good.

The other few sprites are recolors of Nocturnal Man. Vaguely reminds me of Batman. Here is the comic in which he makes his first, short, appearance.

(http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg223/Na-ga-re-bo-shi/Sprites/NM.png)



And these I had to throw in because they're funny and they happened to be in the same week when Batm--I mean, Nocturnal Man made his debut.

And exactly how is this different?
Goodness. Football?

When we're trying to figure something out like a close-up, it helps if it's something fairly recognizable; otherwise there are just too many possibilities and confusions to get in the way of a logical guess.

Now if that were Sorcerer Hunters or Slayer's I'd be fine.

I can't hold another contest 'til I scan Chron's art, so just wait. I still have to find a close up easy enough for you guys as well.

Oh yeah Chron, I jazzed your prize up a bit with Maple Syrup Energy lying on a love seat and you gawking after having just got back home from work. That good enough?


Title: Re: The O's Art

The more people talk about an anime, the less I want to watch it. And I probably didn't want to watch it in the first place, so 'magine that. So, there is no chance I will ever watch this football anime. Even if we weren't already talking about it, I'm not attracted to the premise at all.

Your loss.

You should watch, if not for the subject material, for the music. J-Rock at it's best.

At it's best? Are you absolutely sure you want to claim that? You could get embarrassed.

I never told you guys you couldn't use outside sources for answers. That's actually encouraged, to see how resourceful you guys are. Anyways, CHRON YOUR PRIZE IS READY. FIND IT ON THE FIRST POST. I also uploaded new art, finally, one is named Eyeshield 21 and the other was my failed comic strip for the Preventer Jam.

And the next close up! What can it be . . ?


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: Mikero on 13 July 2008, 07:55:00
There's no way to use an outside to figure out what that is, and even if there was such a way, I don't care.

Aw what the heck, I'll do it. It'll be ready by tomorrow. But what's a fez? Like a fedora?

Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: Mikero on 13 July 2008, 09:24:17
Nothing like a fedora. You'll have to U-Googly it.

I want a photo of a giant (like Galactus-sized) Mikero with eight arms like an eastern god standing atop the Giza pyramids (one foot on each of the smaller two, and the big one can be wherever), eating Jaffa Cakes out of the box with two hands (box in one hand, Jaffa Cake eating with another), sipping on a straw connected to a can of a soda of your choice (but not any kind of root beer, Mountain Dew, or cream soda) which is in a third hand, and just do cool and/or badass stuff with the other hands. Or don't. As long as the rest is there.

OR OR OR

A picture of Mikero, giant like before, riding the Sphinx (which leaves a sandy storm in it's wake) who is roaring and standing on his back two kitty legs as they stand proudly atop the Hollywood sign in California. Mikero is holding a super crazy flaming sword up in the air and drinking from a bottle of milk with the other  hand (no milk mustache please). He only has two arms in this one, don't worry. And then down on the ground at Hollywood & Vine we see Fran Drescher (How she looked in The Nanny, though. Not that she looks bad now...) looking up at Mikero with heart-eyes as she is in love.

Yes, seriously. I think either of those would be hilarious.

Jaffa Cakes are like cookies, kind of sort of, by the way. I don't expect you to know what they are as they are from the UK (and delicious, I keep a box in my freezer and have one occasionally).


Title: Re: The O's Art

Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: Mikero on 13 July 2008, 09:37:13
Not really, but The Nanny was on when I was posting and I always did find her pretty good looking so I thought it would be funny. Funnier than someone you'd expect, at least.


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: preventerWIND on 13 July 2008, 09:45:52
Shes no Mandy Moore..

I thought you actually really liked her, and if that was the case then I'd advise you do get your forehead punched. I don't dare to do it myself, you being a ninja and all.

Otaku, lets have that Sphinx wearing some ear plugs, just in case it has a cats super sensitive hearing..


Title: Re: The O's Art
Post by: Mikero on 13 July 2008, 09:47:05

The Sphinx has a human head, so his ears are fine!

Yeah, well, I have her phone number. Not really, I have the pen that she used to write down her phone number with.. to another guy..

I was too stunned to talk to her! I just sort of posed in the photo with everyone else and sat there with this outlandish grin on my face. Plus, Andy Roddick was being a total cock-block.


Title: Re: The O's Art

I've finished Mike's art. But there'll be a delay in the scanning and the uploading. Expect this delay every time someone wins.

On to Mike's piece. I tried my best. It isn't easy making a Kaali Makero.

And I haven't even finished Wind's fez art.

So while I'm still behind deadlines, who else wants some art from me?

You should draw The O, The Otaku.

The leg can blast itself out of the atmosphere but I think the rest of him will have to come down to get that hand.

I wonder how that jaw screw Hogarth had got to the moon.

To be honest, I'm not very fond of that particular anime 'The O' which disgraces the whole idea of giant robots in anime, and I wouldn't like to draw it because it means many things and I'm not particularly good at people getting hot n' heavy.

What? Big O was great, it was like Batman, with Giant Robot, not to mention it was damn solid until about the last few episodes of the second season.

Not to mention it was based off a comimic that guy... Hitoshi Ariga(?) did.

You know.

The Megamn guy.

Post by: Chron on 16 July 2008, 15:58:50
I've only heard Big O used as an expression of mathematical complexity.
Big-O notation is used to mark the upper-bounds of a function or series of functions in computer science (and calculus or something like that). Finding them requires the use of proofs, usually induction or something similar.
