Since I’m a normal person and this idea would not leave my head, I spend the whole afternoon making a Shrek’s world map with all the places we see in the full Shrek’s franchise (including Puss in Boots spinoffs)
It's obviously derivative from our world. I tried to make it make sense between what the places look like in the movies and the travelling the characters seems to be doing between each places.
The places Shrek goes to looks like western europe/USA inspired, while Puss in Boots movies and series looks like a mix between Spain, south of US, and Mexico, so I tried to blend all the inspirations.
Feel free to comment of stuff that doesn’t make sense or I might have missed.
Have you drawn Dulcinea from The Adventures of Puss In Boots?
i havent before, ive never seen the show. looks interesting, but it would probably be bit awkward to watch romance between her and puss develop now that he ended up with kitty softpaw
she seems really sweet tho, was a lot of fun to draw
this is really showing my age, but I was literally raised on Netflix original cartoons, since I was like seven. the adventures of Puss in Boots was my jam! Trollhunters, tales of Arcadia? That shit was great! we don’t talk about all hail king julien.
that one children's franchise with spin-off shows that are 100x times better than the movies but most fans have only seen the movies so you have no one to talk to about the greatest six-season-plot in history
Look at these two and tell me they're not father and daughter!
I mean, they have the same eyes; they're tuxedo cats; they have similar facial features; and most importantly, they have white paw/paws!
Okay, for those who don't know, El Guante Blanco is an elder tuxedo cat, adventurer, and swordsman who is Puss in Boots’ former mentor. His right paw is the color white, earning him the name "El Guante Blanco," which is Spanish for "the white glove." He has clothing similar to Puss's (hat and belt with sword) but doesn't wear boots. He has a similar appearance to Kitty Softpaws. His black fur appears to be mildly sun-bleached, as it can appear tawny. As he aged, he also had many random white hairs scattered across his body. He is from the Netflix series "The Adventures of Puss in Boots."
I headcanon him as Kitty's long-lost father and mentor because Guante and Puss are like Don Diego de la Vega and Alejandro Murrieta from The Mask of Zorro. And Kitty is like Elena Montero, Don Diego de la Vega's long-lost daughter.
In the movies, Kitty was on par with Puss, if not superior to him, (in my opinion). How else would Kitty know how to move and fight like Puss unless she was taught by the very same person?
Being an adventurer and hero is dangerous business, and Guante probably had his fair share of bounties on his head. He probably felt that his life was too dangerous to keep his little "Kitty Softpaws" by his side and had to make the hard decision to give her to a human family that he thought would take good care of her.
So that's my basic headcanon and theory anyway; on another note, I am in the middle of writing a fanfiction about Guante and Kitty's backstory based on my headcanon, so be on the lookout for that, you guys.
Also, tell me in the comments below what you think about El Guante Blanco being Kitty Softpaws' long-lost father.

Redesigned Dulcinea from The Adventures of Puss in Boots!
Me and the Gang watched The Adventures of Puss in Boots series last night, and she really really grew on me last night, she's one of my favorite gatos locos! <3
Notes and speedpaint below!
Her new accessories are:
An apron; because she works with children and needs to keep her dress clean
A corset belt; to make her middle look less empty
A choker; to pull the look together and because she deserves it.
I made her angora pattern more prominent and gave her a little diamond, and then replaced her boots with flats.
Also, because she's a Turkish Angora, this version has a Turkish accent! (I think all the talking cats in Shrek should have an accent because I think that would just be so silly. These cats are from everywhere but the USA.)
