A photo of Lady LeananSidhe taken during her “30 Day Corpse Paint Challenge” during the month of October 2017.
Lady LeananSidhe is a self-described “metalhead fantasy-nerd” based on the east coast who among many other things is a contributor to the excellent Pagan-loving website, Modern Valkyrie. LeananSidhe took it upon herself to create what I pray to Satan will be the next big thing “The 30 Day Corpse Paint Challenge.” Every day during October (except the 31st of course), the multi-talented LeananSidhe filmed a time-lapse video of her applying a different corpsepaint look then took a sinister photo of the finished product. And I have to tell you; the results would make the mighty Abbath himself jealous.
A while back, LeananSidhe did another corpsepaint-themed photo series in which she applied corpsepaint looks to “normal” everyday folks (or “non-metally” people as LeananSidhe calls them), like receptionists and football fans hanging out at the bar which was pretty fantastic itself. However, it just pales in comparison to her triumphant 30-Day Corpse Paint Challenge—something I think you will agree with once you see the some of the photos the very metal LeananSidhe took anti-religiously during October below. You can see all of the photos over on LeananSidhe’s Instagram and on Modern Valkyrie.
