One way I come up with an idea for illustration is by writing down words and see if they go together for a theme. Like in this illustration you can find - phases of the Moon, birds, waves, and yin-yang (fish spiral in the bottom).
It sometimes takes up to a few illustration trials to see if anything works. This is the third trial that worked out as the final one where I felt like I was liking what I was seeing. And the rough ones lie forever in the sketchbook. It's a fun little way to come up with a concept.
