Speaking of sunsets I remember long ago way back when I was a gaian there was a guild I was in that had a sunrise/sunset avi contest. This used tektek, so much more layering freedom than gaia. Plus larger inventory. Most of the submissions used the same premade sunset painting item. It makes sense, but it is a copout. Me? Didn't even realize that item existed. I made the avi a sunrise/sunset, using free layering and oh my goodness it was amazing, red and oranges and yellows with purple eyes to hint at that time of dawn and dusk. The other person who didn't use the one sunset item had a nice avi, but unfortunately didn't hold a candle to mine, as I got first place. Keep in mind i expected to lose, and I believe we had to PM our entries to the host, so no one else saw what others did. Which would be the reason behind so many using the same item, I think. The other person who didn't use that item? Second place. After that the host went from awestruck commentary to much more generic commentary, iirc. I think if the host had realized that item existed and that many would have used it, they would have banned it so there would've been more creative entries than two or three
I think one used the fact that the item was made to look like a painting to make their avi painting it? It's been several years so I can't remember anymore

Sorry for the tangent
