Black Tom's classic costume is purple not black. I just painted royal purple over black. The nice thing a about painting over black plastic is that the shading automatically manifests. I did have to add black shading to the gloves & boots though. Shading flesh brought out some details in the face that previously looked subpar. The sides of his beard were filled in with impasto. Since he’s one of the elder mutants (relative to Marvel’s sliding time scale), I grayed his hair. I threw in some bonus chest hair too. His shillelagh’s shaft was painted glossy black since it should be blackthorn.

His energy blast fashioned from hot glue using the same twist-tie I salvaged from Firefly’s flame as its armature. I didn’t want his bio-blast to just look like he’s a torchbearer, so I made it a bit swirly. Vertical wrist hinges would’ve allowed him to get into more natural poses, but I angled the blast to compensate.
