Same. The other bases are nice, but a bit easier to "Fake" or get similar looking lionesses. Only way to fake a sunset is to get A Lilac base, add some maroon shell at a high-mid-range opacity,onyx carving at a high-mid-range opacity, then cream unders for the first three marking spots, then add the other markings you want on top to make a sort imitation Sunset, and even then its a lot of time money and effort to fake a sunset. Some of them do look cool though for those who feel up to it so I'm going to post some examples with this of different versions.

Other bases that sort of work with this mock-sunset marking configuration and can give different accented color casts include (though I miss some): Ice, blush rose, celestial (lol), dove grey, dusty rose, ethereal, flint, grey, hallowed, hematite, isabel, Jet, Liver, Manakbir, mauve, moonstone, Nacre, pewter, rosy brown, sidereal, tawny, unholy, and wild rose.
Typically pinker shades and sort of blue-greys, or the other slightly purple shades.

(here's my "Mock Sunset" figuring it out if you'd like to look at the different bases with the mockup http://lioden.com/wardrobe.php?c=hvAPfRc9Oq )
M1: Maroon Sable 80
M2: Onyx carving 80
M3: Cream unders 100

IN OTHER NEWS what do you think of those new base colors to be brought in?

Same -- I really like those two in particular. With the Lioden template shading being a bit on the muddy side (a requirement for the way the art is done to allow for the breeding project while keeping shadows always darker and highlights always lighter than the base colors, vs making pretty painted artwork for events), Heavenly just doesn't look as good on our lions as it does on Menhit.

Edit: Also astral looks like it's the most likely to be a red countershaded special out of the batch of them which means possible sunset breeding bases lol.

Hey guys! I just ran into a Mane interest thread for a purple-y mane I think would go good with sunset! If you haven't seen "Wine" yet, be sure to check it out and see what you think https://www.lioden.com/topic.php?id=304429264492

Oooo that's a cool mane! Thanks for showing OwO I supported! (Tbh I really want the Astral base. It looks cool, and it's prob Red Countershaded Special. Probably medium or dark? So x"D Probably won't get it next year, more like the year after ;n;)

Yeah I voted astral too -- While I REALLY love Apedemak's coat, Astral's more likely to be a nice red countershaded special and looks sort of like a "red skies at night, sailors delight" sort of sunset. Really the only one I wasn't too thrilled with was the Heavenly one, since while it looks AMAZING with Menhit, when using the shading of the actual templates, it looks especially muddy.

OMG GRATS DEN!

Thank you:)

I like divine, but I feel like it's really similar to like slate and celestial so I feel like it can wait. I really like all of them. Might vote astral or heavenly, but I can't really decide.

Things I like doing way too much: Taking existing sunsets and adding markings based on their current markings (and messing with opacities) and making interesting designs for them.
