What did Cressida wand look like before it became what it is today?

As you guys can see in the first sketches of the wand it started out to be any ol lookin wand. At first, we wanted to make the crystal on the wand shaped differently from cressies cheek marks, which was a diamond. After a few sketches we noticed that it ended up looking more like moon’s wand, so we scrapped it in the end. We also wanted to add wings since we noticed that it’s one of the recurring themes in the past wand designs in the butterfly family. Alas after a lot of sketches we ended up stuck in rut, but then i came across a song that sort of resonate with cressies situation about her insecurities about her powers and so i thought “hey what if cressie expresses herself through singing away her problems to keep her relaxed and focused.” *snaps fingers* “HECK YE IM A GENIUS!” and then i told @gravityfying​ and she was like “ Y E S “.

SOoo aside from the fact that it’s different from all the wands, it also shows Cressies personality (just like the wands from other queens) most especially, her love of music. I didn’t want the wand to be a guitar since it would be too heavy and a hassle for cressie to carry so we chose to make it into a ukelele instead. We also added a strap to it so she won’t always have to carry it by hand. As you guys can see in the final ver. we added the wings on top of the ukulele to make the top look more like a wand and changed the crystal into an inverted triangle to symbolize cressies cheek marks. We also simplified the wing design at the bottom to keep up with the style of the show. The blue triangle at the bottom can be detached and can be used as a pick, to strum the ukulele. Lastly the charger can be located at the bottom, so whenever the wand is runnin low on energy she can just chuck in a new one easily.

PHEW IM FINALLY DONE EXPLAIN IT NGHHH
