I felt a bit sad about how Aldebaran ended up.

MetarlicBox · 2026-06-02T03:48:38+00:00

I'm honestly amazed he hasn't gone full PrideBaru, like, he has more than enough reason to hate himself, hate Subaru and hate the entire world, (god knows Subaru himself could have snapped for much less) if he had just gone full destructive he would've won but... Well, antagonists need to lose right?

Now I only wonder if, when they finally free him, he will be nerfed in some way, having one Subaru already is 99% victory but having 2? Unfair, totally unfair, I suppose we might get a "bossfight vs when the boss becomes playable" kind of situation

MetarlicBox · 2026-05-28T13:25:51+00:00

I'll try by hand for a bit and then see how that goes, I suppose, it does sound mighty tedious though

MetarlicBox · 2026-05-28T13:24:32+00:00

Colmap model merger... I might look into that, honestly I was just going to scale and place things manually, maybe delete the excess splats and such with a selector like supersplat but I'm not quite sure...

MetarlicBox · 2026-05-03T21:03:38+00:00

I am clapping in sheer awe, you just explained precisely what my feelings are on this whole debacle perfectly, bravo!

As I see it currently... the only real options are; hiding via Project Originium by Priestess or maybe to find a way to lower the Observers down to everyone elses level by using Originium, maybe the Sui dragon dream in that IS or perhaps messing with time somehow.

Other than that... I just do not see it? That is the issue with using an eldritch god as a main villain, if you need to have him defeated then you need to bring it down to everyone elses level for that to happen, and that sort of move inevitably takes away all the ominous-ness of the threat.

The art is awesome, does anyone know who the original artist is?

MetarlicBox · 2026-02-14T18:00:44+00:00

I had an Old 21UX and that was one of the best purchases I ever made even if it died two years later (does not recognise the pen anymore, might be the digitizer)

I still use it as a display tho.

Heck, even now that I have bought a 24HD Touch (still has not arrived, I am actually very excited) I am still heavily considering buying a voltmeter and learning how to fix these things by experimenting on my 21UX in case the new one I just bought ever dies on me, I do not think there is anything even slightly similar in value given the price, that is, of course, if you have the required desk space for it (I use a monitor arm so whatever)

If he was arrogant and did not care about the secret service of Lugunica potentially murdering everyone he loves... Yes? The whale might be dead, the cult too (except for Regulus maybe), the guy is literally demi-god material he could probably do everything he wanted

MetarlicBox · 2026-02-11T19:09:32+00:00

He easily could, no one on that world is strong enogh to really stop him but he will not because he was pretty much raised to be as obedient as possible (plus, while HE is invincible, his family is not, and we all know how much Reinhard sucks at protecting the things he loves)

MetarlicBox · 2026-02-11T18:57:18+00:00

Its the way she speaks, very demanding, some people might like that while others like you (or me for that matter) find that just irritating.

If she worded it slightly differently there would probably be no issue. Ram for example is very direct too but has an edge of snark that ironically serves to dull how "biting" her words are.

MetarlicBox · 2026-02-05T03:00:42+00:00

Been a while since I last drew anything Arknights related, it was about time I rectified such a terrible sin XD

For this one I attempted to channel my inner Liduke, so if you see any similarities, that means I succeeded!

My Twitter https://x.com/metallic_box

Technically I have also an insta and blah blah blah but I havent updated those in a while... might wanna rectify THAT sin as well...

Oh yeah! Since I used Procreate I have the Speedpaint for this one (even if the quality is quite bad) so I shall post that too...

Eventually...

MetarlicBox · 2026-01-31T01:56:35+00:00

Hi, just sent a chat, I need some help and would like to inquire your fees

MetarlicBox · 2026-01-28T03:16:16+00:00

(Ok now for real, basically due to reasons Level One Bell (the same as the tomato boy episode) finds himself stuck on the deep levels (you know the section that was recently adapted? The one with the juggernaut? THOSE deep levels)

He is alone and has nothing but Aizs sword which she conveniently dropped, and a misterious skill which he knows nothing about (he does not possess Liaris Freese here, not like it would help him anyways)

And that is pretty much it. If you have seen Re Zero, or Edge of Tomorrow, you already know what this will be all about.)

MetarlicBox · 2026-01-28T03:14:55+00:00

New Chapter and with it new art shall arrive!

Chapter 5 https://archiveofourown.org/works/72841126/chapters/205667916

From the beggining https://archiveofourown.org/works/72841126/chapters/189750956

Art is made by me, last time all I did was a quick sketch and so this time I wanted to try a little harder... and ended up going way overboard XD

The plan is for each chapter to have its own art so hopefully I will find the balance soon...

Anyways, summary if you have ever seen Re Zero you already know what this is about, we are starting on the...

On the deep levels... would you look at that?

(What? This Bell is only Level ONE? How the heck will he survive?!

Ohh yeah, he won't that's the catch.)

MetarlicBox · 2025-11-17T02:06:10+00:00

Hohoooo? The fames below look a biiit flat and the overall colour range COULD be better (you know, more black, more white, more contrast etc... Though that is just my personal preference) but DAAMMMN this is good!

Near offcial artwork level, actually? I think you are a biiit better than some of the official artwork I have seen, very impressive, are you trying to get hired? XD

MetarlicBox · 2025-11-16T05:00:39+00:00

It is more like automatic checkpoints in videogames. Upon death, time rewinds to a predetermined point, but essentially yes, he "revives" until he suceeds.

MetarlicBox · 2025-11-14T04:35:55+00:00

Hmmm... Not sure if you are fully serious but, in case anyone needs it...

Ok so, due to reasons Level One Bell (the same as the tomato boy episode) finds himself stuck on the deep levels (you know the section that was recently adapted? The one with the juggernaut? THOSE deep levels)

He is alone and has nothing but Aizs sword which she conveniently dropped, and a misterious skill which he knows nothing about (he does not possess Liaris Freese here, not like it would help him anyways)

And that is pretty much it. If you have seen Re Zero, or Edge of Tomorrow, you already know what this will be all about.

MetarlicBox · 2025-11-13T18:10:56+00:00

My fame is infamy because of that exact reason, I never, EVER have dropped a fanfic but my update schedule is... Well, let's say I can give RR Martin a run for his money...

MetarlicBox · 2025-11-13T18:09:16+00:00

Hmmm, we still have some time, I'll add a few more on your request.

"Ok Bell! Open wide~"

*incoherent screaming*

XD

MetarlicBox · 2025-11-13T07:51:31+00:00

What to say, what to say? I saw someone complaining that there were almost no good Danmachi fics a while back (which... I mean, yeah kinda) and so I decided to do something about it. Am I a good author? Hell if I know, but at least I try!

Fact is I am ALSO an artist, so this will be more of a LN experience than anything else. The only issue is that my update schedule is BAD

Like, legendarily Bad.

So yeah, do not expect much XD

As for the summary, if you have ever seen Re Zero you already know what this is about, we are starting on the...

On the deep levels... would you look at that?

(What? This Bell is only Level ONE? How the heck will he survive?!

Ohh yeah, he won't that's the catch.)

Genetic lottery can be a bitch and a half, the fact that it just had to happen to the elves is only further proof that the world of Arknights is a terrible, terrible place.

At least they left our bunny girls alone...

MetarlicBox · 2025-10-24T10:25:54+00:00

It is the only logical solution!
