This is the second draft of the Staff of Rewoh.

The majority of my friends liked the first draft the way it was. However, there were a couple who mentioned a few things.

One of them said that she would like to have seen that the symbols were carved all around the base of the Staff. Although I can't literally do that since paper is only 2D, I decided to create the illusion that there were symbols carved all around by reducing the size of the original circles and adding slivers of more symbols on either side.

The other told me a more pressing issue; the Staff didn't look natural. She told me that it looked more like it was made of glass rather than of wood. And although I couldn't really draw well how an ordinary tree branch twists since I'm still technically out of practice, I decided to make the extra effort of making it look more natural. I roughed up the edges of the Staff, made the symbol circles look like they were actually carved out, and added some little details such as the broken stumps and the faint scratches. I told her that the real magic in making it look like wood would be in the coloring, which I still plan not to do until all of my friends approve of the design.

I didn't draw the symbols in these circles; I'm going to let the colors take care of that. But you should know where the symbols would go based off of my first draft.
