Thank you for being there 🥹

I don’t know if you did, but it worked. I had an amazing defense day, filled with a discussion i enjoyed much more than i’d expected as a defender, laughter (joking is my “defense mechanism”), and pure joy. I am so proud of my inner child, who has loved discovery for as long as i’ve known her. 🧿🧚💜

Thanks a lot!

but such judgments may be influenced by people’s exposure to manga 😍

Thanks a lot! 😊

How come i didn't think of it :D

With different cues, it’s possible to explicitly indicate direction, convey varying levels of speed (especially with more lines) and even depict multiple moments. I love this work, even though it pushed back my defense time. Curiosity matters more to me 🥹

Images don’t necessarily show a single frozen moment. Look how they can depict multiple moments at once:

I would like to thank Ali Paşaoğlu for the invite and also to my supervisor @neilcohn.bsky.social because he mentioned my name in a podcast, which led to this invitation. Here is the link of the podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/7mbJ...

Thank you very much Renske! Yes, i can’t believe how fast it goes 🥹

Glad to hear that you want to read my work, haha 🙏🏻 once the whole dissertation is published online, i’ll share it here for sure

Interesting! I see he also mentions repetition of curves there. Repeating postures either fully or partially is also another method to indicate motion in static images. Perhaps there’s a parallel between the ways of giving motion to the static body itself and depicting motion in a broader sense

In the picture above though, they are combined! It does not happen often and in my dissertation I also pose a question about whether it’d ease the motion comprehension if they’re combined. We have not tested this though. It was nice to see this being used in Hergé museum 😊

In comics, we see motion lines behind movers which can have different shapes such as twirling lines in the picture above. These lines correspond to a path that has been traversed. In case of instructional manuals, we see arrows mostly. They rather show a path yet to be travelled.
