Description Derek may not show a lot of different emotions but the truth is that he has plenty off them. Unfortunately mostly of them are negative.
When Kayleen comes into his life his emotions are turned upside down. The lies he has been telling himself as a defence gets contradicted and he feels like a monster, and then turning himself into one.
When Kayleen calls him out about it in a large fight, he decides to try to repent and deal with his past, as a gesture towards her. He gets his chance when Marisol, an important woman from his past, turns up.
But fate has never been on his side so when he tries to sort things out with Marisol, it starts a big chain of lies and deception which leads to Kayleen fearing for her life and leaving him as a result. Mad and desperate beyond words over her leaving him for no apparent reason (for him), he comes to terms with his own true emotions.

And after that shit breaks loose, peoples true colours are revealed and they get either abused, shot or hanged It's not easy to care for someone during the brutality of the old west
Happiness will come though! Or I hope so! hehehe

End of random rant.

Technical:
It started out as an easy sketch of Derek and Kayleens faces (as always lol) and a cylinder that was supposed to be a gun. Then I was inking it and told myself "For the love of god, no more effin faces!". So I drew their bodies as well and altered their positions xD
Then came the colouring. Which style? I didn't want to put to much time on it, but I didn't want to use cellshading either or use minimal shading... So I cursed at myself and kicked my butt in to submission and made the thing in a more paint-y fashion. Most effort was put into their skin, and Kayleen's hair xD
In the redesign of Derek I made his nose more pointy, but didn't like it in the end so in this drawing I gave him his old and very straight nose. He's not supposed to be mr MacDreamyFaceDesu.

And I can't thank enough for her encouragement and pin points. If she didn't had kept my spirit up and pointed things out, this would look hell of a lot worse and with far greater mistakes! xD

I really like this one! I like Derek, his way of not showing much emotion even if he has a storm of emotion inside him, but Kayleen is his weak spot.

Thank you! *w*
Yeah, he usually just channelize every emotion into anger or indifference, but Kayleen is as you say his weak spot :3 She stirs up lots of things, both good and bad though.
But in the end they both help each other :3

I will try to draw more scenes and also translate those text passages from my book, so you guys can get some glimpses of their story ^__^
In the future I will introduce more characters and general plots so the story as a whole gets a little bit clearer
Hahaha, I want to draw so many things now! xD Too bad I have zero free time =.=;;; But I'll try to find some hidden time to work on both my book and the drawings!

Yeah, but luckily for me I have found out my "job" is quite chillax-y hahah, so write on my book as much as possible and I doodle a lot for bigger pieces I will do when have acces to photoshop (which will be about 2 weeks, I hope!)

Hahaha, you're so sweet! There's few things that is more complementing when someone find your own characters that much ;D In the future I will have some of the more exciting chapters/passages translate for you and the other guys It would be a good pratices for me aswell, gotta keep up with my english more seriously xD

Thank you, Taruuu! *w* Dereks face came out pretty easily but Kayleen was pain to draw, but in the end I'm happy with them, and I'm glad you like the final result too
Gotta learn how to draw these people properly with proper emotions, haha
