Itend to start with an item. Then I start adding and taking things off to see what I can get to layer the way I want. Eventually I end up with a fll peice.

I'm a lover of donation items (which sadly i've missed the last several months due to my absence). However other than that I will usually start with a hair style or accessory. Then from there build from pallet of a primary color and secondary color. If a third color happens it gets more complicated so that doesn't usually happen.

I've been gone, so alas, my collection of donation items is ruined, but that's a majority of my avatar. Or event items.

I tend to start with an item I like, then a colour theme, but my avatar comes together mostly with one item I love in particular, and that is the case on other sites as well :)

Nothing really strikes my fancy when making an avatar. I get in a mood and put pieces together until the puzzle looks decent. After a while (a short one), I'll get bored of the finished puzzle and go on to another.

Time. >_> I need LOTS of time in order to make an avatar, though sometimes I'll be lucky and can make one quickly, like I did with my current avatar. :P

Usually when I make avatars on any site I pick a certain item and then try and make an avatar based around it.

I haven't been here for long but I think I'll do what I normally do when making an avatar. Try to make it elegant and start by centering around 1 item. I think I'll end up using a set first though, since that's what I'm questing right now xD.

....My Barkeep look is my default, I might change the vest from time to time or change my hair or accessorize, but this avatar is unlikely to change drastically and if it does it won't be for very long.

Well first I pick from one of two colors
black
or red
then I make an avatar that balances very carefully between masculine eroticism and straight-up manwhore
then I ask myself the question "Is it sexy?"
And I adjust until the question is answered with a resounding FUCK YES

usually by increasing the levels of whore
..

Then I put on cat ears and a tail because cats are awesome shut up

Everything!!!!!! My avis rule!...wow...vein much lol

your avis are pretty awesome

the color scheme. the color scheme that matters most to me.

Mostly depend on my mood. I usually just have simple avatar but sometime I don't know what I want so I just go all random and crazy with my avatar and just put whatever item on there.
