my take on an angel v1 design

I know nothing about Gabriel Ultrakill other than that @peridots-pixiwolf and @sillyjudgeofhell are simps and also forced me to post this

[Start ID. An ULTRAKILL screenshot of the end of level P-1: Soul Survivor. The screen displays that OP took 181:33 minutes to complete it, or just over three hours, got two kills, and ended with 3355 style points. They also died 238 times, leaving the level with a D rank. End ID]

easy boss

[Start ID. A doodle of V1 and the Flesh Prison from ULTRAKILL. V1 is shooting volleys of nails in the general direction of the Flesh Prison, whilst very harriedly running around and attempting to dodge its numerous attacks. Next to it is a thought bubble reading "I AM IN HELL". The Flesh Prison's healthbar is displayed at the top, and the text "You are here" by the very right end of it displays the futility of V1's efforts to deal any lasting damage. End ID]

aka "i thought this was the kind of boss fight where you're supposed to stay alive and wait for something to help you" aka "guess who p-ranked eight levels in one day and is suffering the consequences" aka "help."

hey guess who is actually and without exaggeration crying over ultrakill

[Start ID. A digital drawing of Minos Prime from Ultrakill, who's wearing a strapless slit dress and sandals of the same deep purple. He faces towards and slightly to the right of the camera, his head is tilted further right. With one hand he gestures in a vague pointing motion, his arm folded and held close to his body. There is nothing in the background, but bracing himself on one arm, Minos is implied to be leaning against something about the height of a countertop. The background is a blank purplish black, save for three diagonal stripes in the colors of the bisexual flag. End ID]

Shading study that quite literally came to me in a dream two weeks ago, after this post apparently beamed itself into my mind

(also a few edits below the cut! they're very slight but whatever :])

[Start ID. Three different versions of the previous drawing. The first changes the tone of the lighting from blue to pink, and similarly the shading from pink to blue. The second replaces the faint black border with pink, purple and blue, syncing with the stripes in the background. The third combines both these changes. End ID]

Highly doubt I’m the first one to point this out with seven months since act II released but. y’know the sentient terminal theory from the p-1 entry

[Start ID. An ULTRAKILL screenshot of the terminal at the end of the level 5-3: SHIP OF FOOLS. It has been tipped over on its side from the Leviathan capsizing the ship, and its Tip of the Day has been replaced with the word “Ow.” End ID]

so. wait of the world update. how we feeling about that.

[Start ID. A three-circle venn diagram with Gabriel from Ultrakill, the Lonely Wizard from Inscryption, and the Hollow Knight from the game of the same name. Between Gabriel and Lonely is the text "guys will see a character with vague biology, say 'is anyone gonna buggify that' and not wait for an answer". Between Lonely and Hollow is the text "void beings placed in solitary confinement by a superior they admired with the intention of keeping them there forever". Between Hollow and Gabriel is the text "existed only to be a tool for their god. just wants to be perfect. never allowed to be a person". In the center between all three is just the word "trauma". End ID

having Thoughts

i think that tthey should be bestfriends

Made some complementary badges for the @nonbiney-swag-competition thanks to @ghostisredacted's V1 request!!

[Start IDs. Four simple circular drawings, each featuring one character from the Nonbiney Swag Competition with the words "I Voted" above them and confetti on either side. All four are drawn almost exclusively in the colors of the nonbinary flag, albeit muted and indigo-toned, with a white base. The first is Pyro from Team Fortress 2 shown chest-upwards, who does a peace sign with a raised hand. Symbols that shape a unicorn horn float above their head. The second is a fullbody of Ghost from Hollow Knight, flaring their cloak open, emphasizing the motion with one hand and raising the other to their mask. The third is V1 from Ultrakill, another bust, where it holds one hand up to the camera to do a thumbs up. Despite a lack of a face, the way its "eye" is shaded suggests a grin. Lastly is the rather amorphous fullbody of the Slugcat or Survivor from Rain World, holding a spear and looking slightly upwards at the bats that hover around its head. End ID]

[Start ID. A drawing of V1 and Gabriel from Ultrakill. They're angled towards each other, both leaning backwards with one leg bent at the knee. V1 is pulling itself towards Gabriel with the whiplash, the end of which curls around him, and he reaches one hand out to hold the cord. Gabriel's pose seems almost relaxed, while V1 is more tense and somewhat energetic. The background is mauve, and bears markings that emphasize the heart-like shape formed by V1 and Gabriel. End ID]

Did not know what to caption this. Uh. Gay people

(alts under the cut, as usual)

ultrabright colors and gradation map my beloved

[Start ID. Three color variations of the same messy sketch on a white background. Each one depicts V1 from Ultrakill, in the same pose as the protagonist on the cover for Doom. They're standing on a pile of gore rather triumphantly and lifting a Husk with one arm, by where its collar would be. The original drawing was in bright red, yellow, and blue, and the two others are in much softer palettes, one shades of green and the other purple through yellow. End ID]

a better guide to romance???

id: a digital drawing of gabriel from ultrakill. he is shown laying on his back from a top view. his legs are bent at the knees and he’s holding his hands together on his chest, he’s looking down and to the side, flustered. there’s blood pooling underneath him and there are a few splashes of it on his chest and head as well. behind gabriel’s head, there’s a bunch of rainbow hearts. the background is black. end id

claire de soleil

[Start ID. A drawing of Gabriel Ultrakill, depicted presumably in the second phase of his Heresy rematch, in extremely bright primary colors on a black background. He’s kneeling  in a pool of blood with his hands near his face, facing forward, wings outstretched. He appears ecstatic, no face is visible but blush is showing through his helmet. Blood, some of it his, is splattered all over him. “ECSTASY” is written behind him. End ID]

more like gaybriel am i right

(plus two slight alts under the cut)

[Start ID. A drawing of V1 from Ultrakill in blue, yellow and red against a black background. It appears to be sliding to the left while midair, albeit with one leg bent and a wing splayed outward, gripping a gun and aiming it indirectly at the screen. Blood sprays from a couple broken wires and litters its body. End ID]

so I've been playing ULTRAKILL recently
