This image shows a clean, well-curated vinyl listening setup with a strong alternative/grunge vibe. On the left, a Technics turntable sits on top of a black shelving unit filled with records. The dust cover is open, and a black vinyl record is spinning. The label on the record appears light green, with bold text (likely “Deep Six”), matching the album displayed nearby. The tonearm is lowered onto the record, indicating it’s currently playing. Behind the turntable, there are a few small decorative items—most notably miniature guitars and a white cowbell with signatures or markings on it, adding a personal, music-collector touch. On the right, prominently displayed, is the “Deep Six” compilation album cover. The artwork features a bold black-and-blue design with a torn-paper effect revealing a collage of band imagery. The text lists influential early grunge bands: • Green River • Malfunkshun • The Melvins • Skin Yard • Soundgarden • U-Men Beneath the album cover is a compact audio component with a retro-style LED equalizer display glowing in purple and pink bars, giving a subtle modern contrast to the analog setup. Overall, the scene feels like a dedicated listening corner—minimalist but highly intentional—celebrating early Seattle grunge history with a mix of analog warmth and modern visual flair.

Apparently, today is the 40th anniversary of the Deep Six compilation which is a seminal record of the grunge era.

Trok is nothing. He is worthless. Unless we’re talking about this Trok in which case we can a mid to long range fighter who uses his speed and acrobatic skill to dazzle his opponents while chopping them into bits. He’s the Mikey who dances around his enemies with a weapon that could easily backfire but doesn’t due to his sheer skill. Jokes aside, I’d love it if this character was the origin of the insult ”trok” from that Teen Titans episode. Having him be such a menace that name has become shorthand for a worthless thing that causes nothing but harm.

Just look at Slig. What am I supposed to say about Slig? He’s just a guy in a funny hat with the most superhero-esque costume out of the group. I imagine him as a grappler who takes pleasure in wearing his opponents down and killing them slowly. More a torturer than a combatant.

A former member of Black Manta’s Manta Men turned mayor of the sunken city, Sub Diego. Cal is an example of the change superheroes can make despite the need for crimes to continue happening for hero comics to have a point. While you can’t get rid of all crime you can help change a person’s outlook, give them time to pull themselves out of what ’s keeping them down, and help them maintain the changes they want to make in themselves. Cal was drawn to Black manta’s promises of a kingdom for the misused and unwanted. What he was given was just another attempt to enslave a people for the benefit of another. When he saw Manta for who he really was he turned away from his empty promises and would eventually fight for his ideals on the stage of politics. The Manta Men costume is a slightly altered version of Black Manta’s own with a different helmet. I imagine the breathing tubes are something they don’t need but Mantas included just incase he wanted to off a traitor.

A prisoner experimented on by the sorcerer Hagen who combined him with a jellyfish to make a super-soldier. He’s like a magic made version of Robocop. None know who he was before his abduction, and sprinting back to life after having been presumed dead and buried, he has no purpose in life but to uncover his past even if his new body prevents him from returning to it so he joins Aquaman’s court in defending Atlantis while searching for clues. A tragic character like this is a great addition to the AquaFamily and stands out among Aquaman’s already colourful cast. The real gravity to me is how unknown this character is. His look, backstory and abilities make him a great candidate for cameos in anything Aquaman is in. He’s the shadow to AM’s light and could easily fit in with characters like Noble.

Jaffar is the leader and a bare-fisted brawler. He’s not all brawn but he is an alien from a horrific wasteland of a planet, so human customs are not his thing. I imagine him similar to the IDW Sonic version of Zavok. Equal parts schemer and powerhouse who prefers the direct approach but is fully capable of using his head. I love the Deep Six and would like to see them used more, even outside of Aquaman. Each of these raided out Gill-Men is a massive threat due to their combat prowess and strength. They’re a specialized task-force with an array of skills spread among them. I think of them like a DND or Dragon Quest party. Each member has their own specialty and contributes to the groups overall success. The main drawback is their lack of knowledge about Earth and their total devotion to Darkseid, which can be taken advantage of. Since they can always be resurrected any writer could brutalize them however they want (like robotic Foot Ninja or the Ventriloquists dummy) and still be able to use them later on. When they show up they should always be a big roadblock, but they can be overcome.

These guys don’t seem to have much individuality so I’m going to speculate based on what I’ve seen. Pyron uses an up close weapon and rides on a hover board. I made him the shortest of the group and ave him a amore playfully sadistic personality. I imagine him as the Raph to the Deep Six’s Ninja Turtles. He likes getting into fights, showing off to his opponent and proving he’s better than them. Chalk it up to his Apocalypse upbringing giving him an inferiority complex.

Shaligo is the scout. He flies ahead and brings any information back to Jaffar. Despite not being too combat oriented he is durable and likes to use his weight to dive-bomb unsuspecting prey. He seems more cautious than the others and tends to perch himself high up like a gargoyle. I had some trouble with the Deep Six. Since they’re from Apocalypse I wanted to make them more desaturated to reflect the dingy, hopeless world they come from. It took me a while to land on a balance but I think I found it. Only their hate-filled red eye burn with full saturation.

Gole is the stealthy Rogue who creeps up behind a key target and slits their vitals with his sai. He moves silently despite his size and is always waiting for a kill, which he delights in. I imagine him as a super villain version of a slasher movie monster like Jason. He moves slowly but with purpose and strikes only when he knows he can taste a kill. Each Deep Six member has fins up both arms and one on their back. I don’t know if they’re from the same species or if Darkseid had them modified, but I felt it was important to keep that design cohesion between them since they are a unit.

Aquaman week 6 pt 1.

The aquatic elites of Apocalypse, the #DeepSix. Their only purpose is to cause mayhem and terrorize the masses in the name of Darkseid. Even if they die they'll just be resurrected to serve him again.

Been reworking menus, setting up translation/localization, and adjusting keyboard controls... nothing flashy to show, so here is a new enemy officer draft.

#GodotEngine #DeepSix

Loving some of these loadout combinations #DeepSix #GameDev #GodotEngine

Added spotlights that patrol, and once spot a player, continue to seek them. I can't believe i didn't add them sooner. #DeepSix #GodotEngine #GameDev

New weapon added. British P1899 Enfield Cavalry Sabre. :) Because soldiers with swords is more fun. #DeepSix #GodotEngine And again, shoutout to @quaternius.bsky.social for his great animation pack

Another Character blockout for #DeepSix in the #GodotEngine

No. He does not know what a "Jumanji" is
but Yes. He will chase you through a Kmart with an elephant gun.

Lewis Gun is now in game! Big power, big ammo, big fun!

Small detail but i like when characters can get wet and dry in games. Now my players and enemies react to weather and wetness, getting wetter and drier over time. #GodotEngine #DeepSix

Nine against one, armed with only a knife... Stealth is preferred but Alice will still take those odds.

Alice has a boat now! An old CMB9. I've finally started adding a more graceful level transition system too. Now various vehicles will allow you transport to other maps and areas. Time of day and weather will shift as well. Important groundwork i was putting off. #GodotEngine #GameDev #DeepSix

While battling Slig, a member of Darkseid’s elite aquatic terrorist organization known as Deep Six, Orion’s face is transformed into its naturally brutish appearance. Orion uses his Mother Box to revert it back and then condemns Slig to death.

DEEP SIX – Inter-War Espionage Action
#IndieGame #Godot #DEEPSIX #Tactical #Espionage #Action

The image shows a close-up of a vinyl record playing on a modern turntable. The turntable has a silver and black finish with a transparent dust cover propped open. The record on the platter has a light blue label, and the tonearm is engaged, indicating that the record is currently playing. In the background to the right, there’s a vinyl album cover displayed prominently. The cover art is for the “Deep Six” compilation album, which features a diagonal collage of black-and-white performance photos against a blue background. The title “DEEP SIX” is printed in bold blue letters at the top. Below the collage, the contributing bands are listed in white text: • Green River • Malfunkshun • The Melvins • Skin Yard • Soundgarden • U-Men The setting appears to be a cozy and neatly arranged music-listening area, with a shelf holding additional vinyl records visible below the turntable. The image evokes a vintage-meets-modern aesthetic with a clear appreciation for early grunge and alternative rock music.

Day 15 - An album chosen by a loved one. My GF (now wife) gifted me this 8 or 9 years ago. It is a seminal record of the grunge era featuring the first recordings of 4 of the 6 bands.
