Heartfelt Offerings
A somewhat long post about my love’s various “Offerings”. Float ( u/AfloatFob) is a longtime fan and humble artist. He’s too shy to talk about his work but I’M not, ha. I’m constantly in awe of his dedication, creativity and hard work.
To preface and get out of the way, all of his handmade work was/is for his own personal use, nothing was sold
Float works with a huge arsenal of materials including 3D modeling and printing, plastic, wood, metal, sewing, leather work, jewelry making, beadwork, photography, painting, AND creates his own costumes/cosplays with the accuracy of a mad man.
He’s spent probably weeks (in hours) just researching and analyzing pieces in reference photos and most likely months with each project, getting them as close to the original as possible. I’m not joking when I say Float’s personal commitment to accuracy is insane.
He’s 3d modeled Vessel’s masks and pauldrons throughout its evolutions, paying attention to every angle and bend. This man has hand whittled wooden beads, tracked down specific metal parts for Vessel’s necklaces, hand casted his metal medallion and more. All the while, I was enthusiastically explained details down to inch differences, in each piece. I love it.
Float’s most recent project was making the “Sacred” Eden staff based on the original creator’s blueprints… just a WEEK before Megacon this year, along with a deadly accurate TMBTE cosplay. Walking next to him during that convention freaked me out a bit ha.
Long story short,
I would love for others to see Float’s rad work and devotion to a band that has moved him beyond words. So much so, he turned that love and appreciation into art. I told him it was a shame he doesn’t share his projects/ fanart/processes on social media but he’s said he’s fine creating things and enjoying Sleep Token.
I made this post and hopefully will get to read some of the comments to him later. I have MANY more photos and funny convention videos of everything but was restricted to 20 lol. Thank you for reading and sharing the love for an amazing band.
