wanted to practice adding a lot of details to outfits which is why he has the swirls and fish scale type pattern. though they would look neat and I was right
"Lunatic Cultist" colored version Yeah also I'll post the Moon Lord, Celestial Pillar and another Lunatic Cultist tomorrow Ig https://www.instagram.com/p/CrLWvFoJSKL/
The dungeon was once the last bastion of humans left on the planet after the Moon Lord took over, and he struck a deal with them. If they worshipped him as their new god, they would get to live, and those who didn’t became the angry bones. The Lunatic Cultist was the first, and most devout, person to worship the Moon Lord, and became the Cult Leader. His mask is made out of metal forged from the moon itself. Some managed to escape the dungeon before being turned, and they built the cabins underground and later became the rebels fighting against the Moon Lord’s rule.
I have so many thoughts about the lunatic cultist...Purity-Town specific things below:
Pre-cult and golden-blue robes, them wielding just a simple silver staff with a sharpened point on the tip, scratching out their spell circles by hand in the dirt, triple-checking they’ve written every rune correct. Carrying a pouch of chalk when they need to draw out a circle on stone.
Then, by hardmode, with the ancient spirits released, with magic once again flourishing in a way it hadn’t in 500 years, them being able to simply spin their staff or wave their hands to create it.
(Stardust dragon staff is there just because I wanted to draw it and it was fairly fitting since they’re a summoner/mage and the phantasm dragon has some strong similarities to the stardust dragon, plus the colors fit, but in the actual story they’d probably have another custom staff of their own.)
I imagine them as a sort of warlock, someone who even in pre-hardmode was able to study and manipulate magic in a way unparalleled since the spirits were locked away 500 years ago, learning and pulling together near-forgotten practices from all sorts of sources to come away with an incredible mastery over it all. Creating dolls and binding them to souls, granting themselves functional immortality, mastering magic (and stealing dark secrets from an eldritch god-level being at the expense of their own sanity), and reviving ancient practices.
(Just thinking of the visual similarities between the ancient manipulator and the demon altars...)
