Regarding Death Wolf...
Hear me out (NO, it's not the kind you are thinking)
We know Death has a job, right? To collect souls and most likely release them to the afterlife.
And for this job, he has to be there when somebody is about to die, as demostrated with him being there moments before Puss' eight death.
Supposing he is THE Death and he has been doing this since the beginning of time (or at least when there were enough stories of the Grim Reaper to adquire a physical form) that means he has seen a lot, A LOT of awful things.
Murders, suicides, massacres, death of infants, people who didn't deserve to die alone, animal cruelty, some other heavy stuff I won't mention here, etc etc etc.
And we thought "man, how is he able to cope with all of that? That job has to be utter torture for someone."
Probably many of you could think that he is able to do that because he is Death, and he was "born" with that purpose and only him can reap souls perfectly.
But while he is a force of nature, he also WAS a force of nature. Let me explain it well: He adquired a personality enough to be angry, excited, frustrated, amazed, happy, among other emotions.
While he has supernatural power and is most likely the most powerful being in the Shrek Franchise (or in Dreamworks as many say) he is also a PERSON.
Someone with a code of honor, morals, opinions, beliefs, etc.
Returning to the question "How can he bear all of that?" taking into account he is no longer an inevitable force, but a character of his own.
The answer is something you may relate to, and that is: Creativity and escapism.
To be the embodiment of Death, the guy is a very creative fella.
First of all, his design. I heard many people saying here and in Twitter that his design is something they would come up in their edgy, teen years of drawing their first fursona.
Guess what? They are right, the wolf form is someone's fursona. It's DEATH'S fursona. He clearly came up with this badass, piercing canine form to blend with the Fairy Tale Land assuming the form of the "Big Bad Wolf". He most likely had other forms he designed over the centuries and was able to present as them like if he were on a role play game in the living world.
His sickles? The weapon of choice with the little crossed cats on it to have a bigger effect of terror for Puss? Those who can become knuckles and join to create a scythe? Those are his creation, probably after thinking it for a while and writing all of those functions on a paper.
The way he presents himself? In the bar? The coins in his eyes as a "watching you" sign while being a cool reference to the Ferryman of souls? He transforming Perrito's forest into the background of a skull? The chilling reveal at the Cave of Lost Souls? The fire ring? It was all him.
As for the escapism part...
When the world becomes too heavy to deal with as real life issues tend to make us feel bad, depressed, angry... we tend to escape it somewhere. And in our time the common place would be the internet as in webpages or comics, stories, etc.
But what has to do with Death Wolf you may ask?
Well, while he would NEVER be able to escape his job entirely, he can have moments where he can enjoy a good hunt of people who don't appreciate life, like the whole plot of the Puss in Boots sequel could demostrate.
He managed to have a little time outside his eternal routine to chase an arrogant cat who took life for granted. He enjoyed it, it was thrilling, it was exciting.
It was a way to escape a monotonous, grim "life", if just for a short moment.
So, when the chase ended as his prey no longer feared him and now was ready to fight for his last life, the wolf retreats, happy for Puss' character development but resigned because he once again had to return to "The Eternal Duty"
And that's not even counting all the times Jack "I'm dead inside" Horner had to interrupt Lobo's hunt and remind him of his job even in his "spare time"
Death knew the chase had to end eventually, but he didn't want it to end.
He didn't want to return to his own world
And if we look at Death like that, then he is probably one of the most relatable characters Dreamworks has ever make.
In the Shrek Franchise:
Monsters can be loved
Princesses don't have to fit the perfect standards of beauty
Handsome guys can be possesive jerks
Love at first sight doesn't work like one would think
Happily ever afters had to be built and not just obtain them with magic
And Death is the most creative and "full of life" being in the world
Because he would absolutely go crazy with his life/work if he wasn't.
Because in a world of Kings, Poets and Soldiers, he's the Supreme King
Tumblr media
And he's also a perky goth but none of you are ready for that conversation.

Death’s Wish
Tumblr media
    Like everyone else in the movie, Death had a wish, not with the Star but still a wish. That being to get kill off Puss for his arrogance and wasting his 8 lives.
Tumblr media
     His whole beef with Puss isn’t because of him having 8 lives but more so how he took them all for granted. Though while he hated Puss did that, at the same time I don’t think he truly hated Puss. 
Tumblr media
When he first got introduced, he was complimenting Puss on his whole legend. It’s clear despite his disappointment with him, he still had respect for Puss. Even though he may have not been very careful with his life, doesn’t mean he just wasted his time. It’s clear he’s been watching Puss very carefully and for all the foolishness he saw, he’d must’ve also seen Puss’s bravery, heroism and overall living with value and passion! Living like a LEGEND!
He didn’t hate Puss, he hated the wasteful lives Puss was living like.
He wasn’t just angry just Puss was wasting his lives, it was because he knows Puss should’ve lived better! If his deaths involved dying giving it his all in a great battle or heroic sacrifice, that’d be a much different story but a lot of them were easily preventable and a result of Puss’s arrogance and carelessness, no wonder he was mad! He genuinely saw Puss as a respectable legend and was angry how he wasn’t fully living up to that! He wasn’t just throwing his lives away, he was throwing himself away, the cat who became the legendary Puss in Boots in the first place! 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He didn’t have to give Puss his sword back or any of those chances to evade him, but he still did and was even happy when Puss stopped running and decided to face him. He could’ve ended everything back then in the Tavern but he didn’t, he even gave that chance back then and even now! He didn’t want Puss to just give up. And deep down he didn’t want to just give up on Puss.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even though he seemed mad, he didn’t get to kill that arrogant mortal who thought he was immortal that Death had viewed Puss, in a way he did. Deep down, I don’t think he truly wanted to kill Puss but more so kill the way Puss was living his final life. Or atleast give him a final chance to get his life together. Deep down, he didn’t want to kill the Legend, he wanted to bring him back!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
     Because of his presence, it forced Puss to reevaluate how he’s been living and realize his mistakes, improve himself, get back up and be the legend he knows he is, now fully appreciating his life and the amazing things and people in it like Kitty and Perrito.
Tumblr media
    Just how everyone else tried so hard to get their wish but realize they may have already had it or didn’t need it. Death got his as well. He helped kill off the old Puss he hated and helped Puss live up to the true legend he knows he should be!

I struggled to think of a title. Initially, I was going to write "Is being OP actually overrated," (note that this is a joke; I adore Dreamworks, but it's the only text I could think of. This is just for a meme 😭)
Tumblr media
Here’s the original meme

Something something, it's now canon that (along with Donkey and Dragon) Death saved Shrek's life that day.

“I know I can never defeat you Lobo, but I will never stop fighting for this life.”
[ID: A digital Persian Miniature styled art of Death and Puss In Boots’ final battle on the Wishing Star from the movie Puss In Boots: The Last Wish. The background is a blue with darker cracked textures signifying the area of the star, and the borders are purple with pink and white flame patterns across. Death can be seen raising his sickles at Puss with a feral snarling smile on his face, meanwhile Puss is knelt in front of him holding out his sword as his terrified expression is reflected on one of Death’s sickles. End ID.]
A Persian Miniature-esq styled art of Death and Puss’ final battle on the wishing star. This took me a long time to finish but it was a blast to paint!! Both Puss and Death ended up looking more 3D than what is typical of the very flat and 2D styles of Persian Miniature art, but I feel I managed to capture the energy and ‘flow’ of them well enough!
I adore the use of fairy tales and folklores in the Shrek universe and so I thought the idea of using the Persian Miniature style would have fit along with it, as these artworks were often used for book covers and illustrations. I’ve also wanted to create art with more influence from my culture and background, so I thought it’d be a perfect fit!
This was digitally painted with Krita, did I manage to make it look ‘traditional’ and painterly enough despite the digital medium?
