Carrara Challenge 29: Anachronistic (and hair)
It is that time again, or is it? Time is often the centerpiece of both drama and comedy. The challenge this month is to create an image that integrates the importance of time, especially circumstances in which an element seems to be part of the wrong time.
- It can be a contemporary scene in which someone arrives or departs earlier than expected (or later), creating dramatic tension or humorous relief.
- Someone dressed for a Heavy Metal or Punk Rock concert could show up at a stadium on the wrong day (indicated by posters), meeting people dressed for something very different
- It can be a holiday theme in which most of the elements seem to be part of one holiday season, but something seems part of another holiday season.
- It can be a fantasy scene in which people with cadillacs and machine guns confront dinosaurs.
- It can be a science fiction scene in which a roman legion confronts starship troopers.
- A historical figure (Marc Antony in a toga) could be addressing a modern parliament (people in modern business attire).
- A caveman could be thawed and adopted by a modern suburban family.
- Rip Van Winkle could fall asleep under a tree and wake up 100 years later.
- A Connecticut Yankee could visit King Arthur's Court.
- Feel free to interpret the theme broadly.

Here is a classic example of the theme
Here is a humorous example
Just a little off.

'Back to the Future' writer, a Cardinals fan, discusses prediction of Cubs winning 2015 World Series
...he was only off by a year. Maybe needed to stuff a bit more trash into that Mr Fusion™.
Nice coincidence. Would have been even more fun if the year had been exactly the same.
108 years is a long time to wait for a parade. Here are people lining up along the route hours and hours ahead of time.
Breaking news! The great creator of Carrara dynamic hair, Naomi, is sponsoring this month's Carrara challenge. Check out the amazing styles available.

First, second, third, and honorable mention will each get an item from Naomi's store, which fits this month's hair requirement perfectly. Dynamic hair is not only realistic strand-based, it interacts with wind forces, physics, and objects.
Thank you, Naomi.
As long as people comply with the rules of both challenges, this month's Carrara challenge will accept renders for the Its Raining Men challenge.

Note - timing can be an issue. The last entry date for the Carrara challenge is before the last entry date for Its Rainin Men. To enter both, make sure you enter Its Raining Men early. And, remember our Carrara challenge requires a screengrab of how the scene is set up in Carrara in the WIP thread.
More breaking news! Daz is generously sponsoring the challenge. Not surprising news, just confirmation. The first post will be edited to reflect the Daz part of the following.

A little inspiration - Bloc Party and cool animated time-related music video. Enjoy this pop culture anachronism..

can't think of anything more anachronistic than dinosaurs mixed with people
Entries are accepted through December 10th.
And you don't have to use time travel. Time just has to be a driver of the action.
For example, time is trick #2 of the 9 dramatic tricks in Simon Wood's essay.
9 Tricks to Writing Suspense Fiction
By: Simon Wood | July 10, 2008
2. Use time constraints. Another key way to build suspense is through the use of time. The protagonist should be working against the clock, and the clock should be working for the bad guys. In Robert Ludlum and Gayle Lynds’ The Altman Code, Covert One agent Jon Smith has only days to prove the Chinese are sending chemical weapon materials to Iraq. In Greg Iles’ 24 Hours, Will and Karen Jennings have one day to escape their captors to rescue their child from a kidnapper. Every minute you shortchange the protagonist is another notch up on the burner under the reader’s seat.
