First fully custom artwork I did of dear old Galactic Force. It took me about 6 hours to complete, but I have to say, it was worth it! The background sucks, but I'm mostly focussed on this gorgeous stallion in the midst of it all (sorry for the self praise, but honestly, who wouldn't love him? ;) )
Character, design and art copyright to ME!
Galactic Force left that night, unable to cope with seeing his daughter crumble on the ground in an emotional break down. It was seven years since he was killed by the sediments of the comet... He knew eventually that he wound have to face his fate and make way down to Earth.
It was rare that Astro called upon him for reassurance and support, but at times like this, he needed to.
As he touched-down on earth's surface once again, he was careful not to create too much of a disturbance to the environment around him.
He snorted softly, gently approaching the Lunar Dust realm-gate, what pristinely glimmered and dazzled in golden light. The sign arched at the top read: Planet Solarshine, Realm Lunar Dust. He knew as soon as he read it that the famous Lunar Dust Stone was collected around here-a thing so rare and special that even the most top-quality robbers couldn't steal it. Lunar Dust Stone was the rarest stone seen around-anywhere else was a myth.
He spotted Astro sobbing her heart out, head on the desk with paper, quills and ink strewn about the place. Her body was somewhat slick with sweat as she shook with racking sobs.
"Darling." He whispered, wrapping his wings around her in a cuddle, before letting her head rest against his warm, muscular and welcoming chest.
"Oh, father..." She sighed, though with tears still water-falling down her face.
"I've missed you, sweetheart. Your mother sometimes wishes she could come down and see you, but for some reason, she can't. Only I can come down to see you, however, I have to be cautious."
He cradled her body in his wings as he lie down with her and gently spoke.
"I love you, nobody will ever love you more. And that reminds me to ask that question. Who loves you more than me or your mother?"
Astro looked up at him with a slight pang of upset, before answering.
"Nobody. But father, I miss her so..."
"Oh baby..." He nods with understanding. "Soon, Atlas will call upon you to return home, and we will be together again." He whisperes, giving her a loving squeeze.
Astro smiled weakly, relaxing more now her father was here.

I just wanted to do some more art of Galactic Force, Astro's father, who was killed ten years after his wife's death, leaving Astro to fend for herself, as the explosion and sediment from the comet also killed off every other living specimen of her kind.
NO COPYING THE STORY OR THE CHARACTER!!! THEY ARE BOTH MINE!!! EVERYTHING IS! EXCEPT THE LINEART!
{I wanted to do a story along with this artwork!}
Name: Galactic Force/Galactic
Age: 1450
Breed: Star Striker
Gender: Stallion/Male
Personality: Galactic Force loves his daughter and family so badly that he would gladly die for them. He never forgave himself after his wife left to tend to her duties and died because of a comet strike, killing her in the wreckage. Ever since he had lived with such a horrific tragedy, there was only one thing that was most important, the most VITAL. The safety of his daughter. With nothing but the hunger for success, Galactic Force had created something beyond legendary. The Lunar Dust stone engraved into Astro's armour has very useful and special powers, so if she ever came close to death, the stones would radiate enough energy and magic to surge through her and save her life-no matter how bad the destruction is.
This shows Galactic's severe determination. He wouldn't rest at anything until he was satisfied with his work. He enjoys being a good influence on people, and doesn't brag whatsoever about his job, or what rank he is in the pecking order. One of those very down-to-earth horses, who doesn't get affected by those generally rowdy youngsters who don't have enough experience in life to calm down. Galactic is VERY wise, but CAN be immature, as his zodiac sign is the horse, and one of the characteristics is 'immature/childish'. Only if Galactic gets pushed, he will fight back like nothing you've ever seen.
History: His wife died tragically nearly 11 years ago from the cataclysmic destruction of a comet striking the planet she was on, killing her instantly as the rock made impact. Ever since, he has been so frightened of loosing his daughter over something similar, that he has done anything and everything in his power in order to make sure Astro is safe and sound. Unharmed. He dreaded anything else to happen, so he knuckled down, working, striving to collect as much Lunar Dust stone as possible in order to create a safety mechanism for his beloved daughter. The purpose was for if she was in grave danger, dying, the stone would start to 'glow' rejuvenating any critical injuries and saving her life by surging energy through her whole body. His original plans were to stop her from getting hurt to near death. Luckily, he succeeded, and managed to assemble everything the way he planned it to be...
Only, he never lived to see that day. Galactic's theories and assumptions were true about the comet, but it was moving on quicker than he expected. Scientist's reckoned that it must've split in half because of the force of the explosion, reached Solarshine and then killed Galactic off and most of their kind... They were wiped off of the face of the earth, except Astro and a few lucky others, who survived the most gruelling parts of the tragedy.
Unfortunately, he can only visit Astro when she is most upset or yearning. He splits from the heavens as a star-figure, and journeys down to Earth to calm her, and raise her hopes. But if she is stationary, elsewhere, or deep in other thoughts, he cannot come down to walk the Earth, no matter how badly he wishes to.
Current Living Status: He enjoys looking down on his daughter, making sure she is okay, and giving her hints and answers in her dreams if she ever needed it. As he died along with his wife, he is now up in Heaven.
Other: He has armour on, with the same glowing Lunar Dust stone as Astro's. His leg-armour has sharp blades connected to the top of them for the jobs he had to do {His job was to police the area with a large crowd of other big stallions, and keep the local citizens under control, he was also the main leader of Solarshine}.
