Movement and Motion





This comic is from the website, http://www.ohjoysextoy.com/.  Motion is implied in this image as it leads the eye down the page to tell the full story. Items in the strip are set up to lead the down, using a style English speakers are familiar with from comic strips. Motion is also implied in some of the images in the strip. The image of lube pouring out of a bottle is static, but it implies movement as we know it is a wet substance, and has indicators like splash marks. The silicone lube bottle is "spitting" at the silicone sex toy farther down. The word "spit" indicates its movement, as does the drops of lube suspended in the air. Toward the middle, the character is seen as two conjoined bodies. This is used to imply her moving from left to right. 



This image is from http://sexanddesign.com/. It implies motion in the direction of the limbs shown. They start in the middle and extend and become larger as they go farther out.  This shows direction and a sense of explosion. It also gives the impression of optical flow as it feels like we are moving into the abyss of limbs, even though it is a static image. The limbs also imply motion, as our arms and legs constantly move and are our main types of movement. If you look closer, even some hands and feet have fingers and toes extended implying further motion.
