AND TODAY I'M GOING TO FULFILL THIS PROMISE!

If you want to know what the hell I am talking about you'll need to go through this wall of text. No tl;dr.

Story time!
So long time ago, great oddllama was doing one of his hey-I'm-drunk-let's-give-away-some-games events. One of the things he decided to gift was the whole content of a $35 bundle (Humble Weekly Bundle: For Lovers) which included not only games, but also a 1.5 m/4.9 ft long pillowcase for the biggest fans of Hatoful Boyfriend (if you want to spoil yourself the surprise, here's how it looks). He decided that the most admirable man the luckiest bastard will get it.

AND GUESS WHO WAS THAT LUCKY BASTARD? (there is no prize for answering correctly)
But it wasn't so easy - with the prize came consequences. I needed to show everyone that I am worthy.
Unfortunately, I had to wait many months before the package finally arrived. And even more months I spent hunting for a fitting pillow... Sadly, with no results (those things are freaking expensive and quite rare to find here). I nearly lost all my faith and thought I would never be able to fulfill my promise. But then a brilliant thought came to me: "F*** IT! I'M GOING INSIDE!" (don't take out of context)
It was actually harder than I thought (again, don't take out of context). I barely was able to fit in it and I couldn't see anything when I was inside. But it worked! I think it was worth the trouble and I'm happy with the results.

But before I show you the photos, just few more things (it's not like you can scroll down this text and go straight to them...).
I really hoped oddllama would come back before now. I'll try to contact him, but looking at his recent Steam activity I'm not hoping for much. Still, I believe that someday he will return and then he'll able to witness this. EDIT: AFTER 7 LONG MONTHS I EARNED HIS APPROVAL!!! I can rest peacefully now. :')
Also, I would like to thank Tumalu and Murk for their constant pressure (you can stop now) and my extremely patient sister for helping me with pretty much everything.
And if you came here only for giveaways, there is one in the comments. EDIT: Well, the thread is months old. Don't expect it to still be open.

So without further ado, here are the photos you've all been waiting for:

¿Como te llamas?

Also, one time Target had giant "body pillows" on sale for really cheap. Looks like it might fit what you have.
Still, I think your photography is excellent; or at least you are truly outstanding in that field.

I saw some big pillows in stores for affordable prices, but they never had the right size.
And I agree - my sister really makes great photos. :)

I miss Llama a lot... I want those old good times! Llama, come back to our commuity, I beg You!
I actually always wanted to talk with Llama for longer than couple of minutes but so far I never managed to. And recently I haven't even seen Llama (actually for quite a long time)... Hope everything is alright.
LEt's hope we will see OddLlama very very soon!

Thanks for the whole thread, the photos and for the giveaway and pigeons! :)

I guess you're talking about oddllama's profile page? Yeah, that was pretty sad when it happened. But he apologised later and promised to make up for that.

Yes. It's weird. From the looks of it, he had done a lot of really nice giveaways before that happened! I wonder if he had just gone through something in his life that caused it.

As a BUMP! I'll tell you a story related to one of the photos.

So while we were shooting those, there were people sailing on the lake from time to time. Most of them were pretty far away. But at one moment, while I was standing in the pillow without any vision, I heard a jet ski coming closer. But then it suddenly stopped. I don't know where it was exactly, but I knew that whoever was on that jet ski was somewhere really close, just staring at me in confusion. About half a minute later I heard it making a turn and returning back to where it came from. Later I've been told it was a little girl riding that. I really hope she didn't suffer any trauma, because of what she saw.

I can see myself doing "season 2" of some sort in the future. But it would require a lot of time, resources and crazy ideas. We'll see.

EDIT: And of course, I would need to find a good place to shoot it.
