Well, personally, I usually get an inspiration, if I am not making an avatar based on new monthly items as I like to do. Often, they are for events or contests. Or I am just challenging my self to try something new, like use an item/pose I haven't used before. Or I am just random and start from somewhere and it ends up like something. xD Most of the time, I have basic idea of what I want to portray, though - spirit, ball dancer, shapeshifter, mage, etc...
