SOLDIER Crew and A Whole Lotta Breakdance Research

Posted on April 6, 2021 by scalesoflibra • Leave a comment

Back in early February the world was blessed with what is, to me, the best remix of “One-Winged Angel” since “Advent: One-Winged Angel”: When “The Prelude” comes in tho!!! When I read the line “Sephiroth and his entire gang show up with a boombox” I knew I had to draw it. Originally I thought to … Continue reading →

I’ve always loved the track “On Our Way” from Final Fantasy VII but for some reason I’d come to associate it strictly with Icicle Inn. Maybe because I used to stay in the inn to let the inappropriately-dressed party warm up before going back out into the snowy mountains, so I’d hear the music there … Continue reading →

The SOLDIER Firsts Try Painting With a Twist

Posted on November 2, 2020 by scalesoflibra • 2 Comments

The session Sephiroth, Angeal, and Genesis attend is for beginners. The painting they will recreate is a simple still life featuring Banora White apples. Angeal drinks in moderation and paints diligently. He makes a generally faithful copy of the composition, but adds enough of himself to succeed at making the image his own. Sephiroth long … Continue reading →

Sailor Moon Redraw

Posted on May 25, 2020 by scalesoflibra • Leave a comment

Having just finished Final Fantasy VII Remake when the Sailor Moon Redraw meme took off, I knew I had to put Cloud into it. It’s been a long time since I did fanart at all, and even longer since I drew Cloud, so it was slow going. Here are some work-in-progress pics, followed by my … Continue reading →

Draw It Again Challenge: Sailor Moon 20 Years Later

Posted on August 29, 2016 by scalesoflibra • Leave a comment

Over twenty years ago, Sailor Moon began airing on TV in the US. I was curious about the show for two reasons. 1. Although I liked American cartoons like The Simpsons and Animaniacs, I was fascinated that there could be a show for children where the characters were drawn so beautifully they actually had elbows … Continue reading →

Harry’s Hotter Show Poster

Posted on September 11, 2014 by scalesoflibra • Leave a comment

I gave a little sneak peak of this poster a few months ago, and now that it’s getting closer to show time, I’ll unveil the whole thing. I had a blast designing this poster! The characters at the far sides are supposed to be the vampire Euphoria and The Fine Diner, two characters original to … Continue reading →

The translation of the next part of The Air Moon might be a bit delayed as I’m currently applying for grad school. I’ve gotten most of the technical things like transcripts and references out of the way, but the heavy lifting is yet to come. Also, I’m helping out a friend who needed someone to … Continue reading →

A Request

Thank you for visiting Warped Frost! I hope you enjoy your time here.

So far I've tackled some really long translation projects, and given how much work I put into them, and the fact that I am NOT making money off of this (notice the lack of ads?) I want these translations to stay exclusively on Warped Frost. I'm glad if people read my translations, of course, and don't mind being linked to. Same goes for my artwork and photographs.

よろしくお願いしま〜す!m(_ _)m

Is it me you’re looking for?

Scenes from around Warped Frost

On the door to Shin-eiji Temple (an annex of Naritasan Temple) in Sapporo, they translated "Pray freely" to "Pray it freely", which I thought felt more poetic. (May 2016)

Tsuki no Matsu, the "Moon Pine" in Ueno Park. I don't know if this is the same tree ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige depicted in his "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" prints, or if it's that the nearby temple has been grooming different pines into this shape for hundreds of years. (May 2016)

From an ice cream stand on the 参道 (sandō, the road leading up to a temple or shrine) to Dazaifu Tenmangū. They sell normal flavors & unusual flavors. Black sesame isn't that unusual, but I recommend their tofu flavored ice cream and corn flavored ice cream too. (April 2016)
