Lighthouse

I could have used the common striping of a real-life lighthouse, but I chose not to.

In other projects, I tried to analyze so-called 'Bezier curves'. The knowledge I gained I used to generate the more decorative pattern in the illustration.
See the 'Adobe Illustrator' chapter for more (technical) details on the pattern of the lighthouse.

On the roof of the lighthouse, you see twelve nameless drububu puppets.
I thought it would be a nice element referring to sculptures of the twelve apostles on churches in the Middle Ages.

I had to take care of which arm was extended, in order to prevent people from getting the idea that the drububu puppets represent Nazis.
An extended arm, together with a fire torch, can be a very dangerous combination, so instead of the right arm I used the left arm, which is not extended but just reaching into the relative darkness.
