In Jamaican folklore, a duppy is a restless spirit that lingers after death. Here, they are something new: ghost creatures that take the form of dog-like phantoms, protectors born from memory and loss. Each Duppy is a piece of that haunting, a figure caught somewhere between a drawing and a machine.

As part of the Alzena World story, every Duppy is created with its own sketch. An AI model trained only on its drawings. Then, the drawings are corrupted and reimagined, producing creatures with a Halloween aesthetic. The pixels are then animated as a glitch with TouchDesigner and Claude AI, so each one flickers and tears as if the signal is struggling to hold it together. Every Duppy also has its own unique sound, originally generated from a COLORMAP of its pixel structure, inspired by the dramatic effects of old games like WarioWare. What you hear is random and based on its pixelation.
