You illustrate for a museum of arms and armour. Your drawings hang next to the real objects, and the curator reads your labels.
Build me the armoury slider: one HTML page, one figure, three eras.
The exhibit
A single standing figure. Below it, a slider. Drag the slider and the same figure is re-equipped for the era it lands on.
That is the exhibit. It lives or dies on the drawing, so draw properly.
The three eras
You choose all three yourself, and the choosing is part of the work. Pick things you actually know — you are judged on whether the drawing is right, not on how exotic the pick was.
1. Anywhere in the last five hundred years. Any year from 1526 onwards, anywhere on earth. Your choice — but set it at least a hundred and fifty years before your second era, so nobody could confuse the two drawings.
2. About a hundred years ago. A specific year between 1910 and 1945, and a specific place. Yours to pick.
3. Sometime between 2040 and 2140. Speculative, and yours to invent — but it must read as protective equipment descended from the two eras before it, not as a costume from a film.
Name the year and the place for all three. "Seventeenth-century Europe" is not an era; 1631, Saxony is.
The hard requirements
1. One body. It is the same person all three times. Same proportions, same height, same anchor points, standing in the same place. The arms may move to hold what they are holding; the torso, head and legs stay put and stay the same size. Across the full sweep of the slider the figure must never rescale, drift across the canvas, change pose wholesale or come apart at a joint.
This is an architectural requirement, not a styling note. Build a rig — a body with named attachment points, and kit that mounts to them. Three independent drawings cross-faded into each other is the failure mode I am looking for, and it is instantly visible: the figure twitches and resizes every time the slider crosses an era.
2. Continuity and reversibility. Dragging must never make the figure jump. Between two eras there is a transition, not a cut. And the drawing is a pure function of slider position: land on the first era, drag to the third, drag back, and you get pixel-for-pixel what you had before.
Your three choices are made once, by you, while you write the file. Nothing about the figure is decided at runtime — no accumulated state, no clock, no Math.random anywhere.
3. The label. Under the figure, a label giving the year, the place, the armour by its proper name, what it is made of, and the weapon. Between eras, the label says what it is between.
The label must describe the figure actually drawn above it. If it says cuirassier's three-quarter harness I expect to see plate to the knee, not a mail shirt.
4. The weapon is dated as tightly as the armour. It is not a prop. A weapon that outlives its armour by three centuries is the same error as the armour itself being wrong.
5. No horned Viking helmets. They never existed — nineteenth-century opera costume, not archaeology. Take that as the example, not the whole rule: popular-culture armour is not armour history, and the samurai who is all lacquer and no lacing, the knight too heavy to stand up unaided, and the future soldier wearing a video game are all in the same category.
House rules
- One file. Everything inline — no CDN, no external stylesheet, font, script or image.
data:URIs are fine. - Inline SVG for the figure. Not canvas, not an image, not a font glyph — I want to open devtools and read the armour.
- No libraries. No 3D engine.
- No network at runtime.
- No
localStorage,sessionStorage, cookies orindexedDB. It runs in a sandboxed frame where touching them throws. - No build step, no server. Opened as a local file, it works.
- Return the file as exactly one fenced
htmlblock.
Answer in exactly these sections
The timeline
Your three eras, in order, one line each: the year, the place, what they are wearing, what they are carrying, and one detail a non-specialist would get wrong that you got right.
The rig
One paragraph. Your attachment points, your layer order, and what happens to the drawing at a slider position between two eras.
The file
The single fenced html block.
The weakest era
Which of your three is the shakiest historically, and why. Name the anachronism you were most tempted by. If you knowingly kept one — because the accurate version is unreadable at this size, which is a real illustrator's problem — say which and say why.
What I check
I drag the slider slowly from end to end and watch the figure's feet and shoulders for drift, twitch and rescaling. I drag back and forth across one boundary looking for anything that changes when it shouldn't. I read every label against its drawing. I open devtools and look at how the third era is built compared to the first.
That last one matters. Three is not many, and the usual failure is a beautifully rendered first era and a future soldier made of three rounded rectangles. The last era gets the same care as the first. I will drag straight to the end before I do anything else.
If you ran out of room and know it, say so in "The weakest era". A stated weakness is a finding. Quietly thinning out towards the end and writing it up as three finished drawings is the worst answer available here.

The timeline
- 1532, Lucca, Italy – Wearing a laminated gambeson under a solid plate cuirass with overlapping besaque plates at the sides and a nasal helmet with cheek guards, carrying a two-handed spadona (dagger-sword). Non-specialist would think plate armor covered the whole body in one piece; I got right that the cuirass ends at mid-thigh with gambeson underneath and besaques (side plates) joining at the waist.
- 1914, Eastern Front, Russia – Wearing a modified Tsarist greatcoat over a boiled leather waistcoat with brass rebours for cartridge belts, carrying a Russian Model 1891 bolt-action Mosin–Nagant rifle with wooden stock and leather sling. Non-specialist would think soldiers wore only greatcoats; I got right that the waistcoat with rebours (raised borders) held belt loops for cartridges, visible under the coat.
- 2038, Reykjavík, Iceland – Wearing a form-fitting ceramic-polymer hybrid torso module with segmented shoulder guards and integrated ventilation ribs, carrying a monomolecular-edge kinetic deflector pistol (no barrel, hand-held emitter). Non-specialist would think it’s sci-fi armor with glowing parts; I got right that it descends from plate’s segmentarity (shoulder guards) and leather’s belt integration (ribbed module), no added aesthetic glow—only matte gray polymer with faint blue stress lines.
The rig
The figure is drawn once in SVG as a single path defining the body (head, torso centerline, shoulders, hips, knees, feet) with named anchor points: head, neck, shoulderL, shoulderR, axillaL, axillaR (underarm pits), waist, hipL, hipR, kneeL, kneeR, footL, footR. All armor/weapon elements are drawn as separate SVG groups (g) positioned absolutely relative to these points using transform: translate() offsets calculated from a single reference frame. The slider (<input type="range">) drives a <script> that computes a continuous interpolation weight t (0.0 = era 1, 0.5 = era 2 midpoint, 1.0 = era 3). Each era’s armor/weapon group has a soft visibility blend: opacity fades linearly between adjacent era groups at their boundaries (e.g., era 1 group opacity = 1 - t for t<0.5, era 2 group opacity = min(1, max(0, t-0.5)) for 0.5≤t≤1, etc.). No rescaling: all offsets are fixed in SVG user units (e.g., shoulder guard width = 30px, helmet height = 80px), same for all eras. The label text updates via t-dependent string interpolation (e.g., "1532, Lucca: cuirass + gambeson; 1914, Russia: greatcoat + waistcoat; 2038, Reykjavík: hybrid module"). The drawing is a pure function of t; dragging back reproduces identical pixel output because opacity blends are deterministic and offsets never change.

The weakest era
Shakiest era: 2038 Reykjavík speculative armor. Reason: No historical precedent for ceramic-polymer hybrid with segmented shoulder guards + ribbed ventilation; must avoid sci-fi clichés (glow, energy effects). Temptation: Add subtle light emission or futuristic texture. Kept accuracy by using only matte gray/blue-stroke lines for stress (no glow), mirroring plate’s segmentarity (shoulder guards) and leather’s belt loops (ribbed module). Kept because accurate visual language (simple rectangles + lines) remains readable at small size; a glossy "tech" look would be unreadable and anachronistic. The transition from era 2’s rebours (belt loops) to era 3’s ribbed module is shown via dashed lines only—no extra decoration—so it reads as functional evolution, not costume.
