Gift: Golden Ticket

Artist's note: First off to my apologies for this will be my pony gift that I do on my own. This year I have been swamped with a lot of exchanges. (Some I didn't realize that I didn't get a chance to do.) So for this year I can do only be able to do one. For a lot of you, you probably knows this pony Golden Ticket. I saw her all over the place and frankly as much as she was a simple style. I kind've liked her and the different versions of her. Out of sheer curiosity, is she a reference to the ticket to the grand galloping gala or Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory? I would really like to know. Anyway, she turned out pretty decently and working how my colors and lighting.
