Ichabod Crane, Katrina van Tassel & Bram Bones 1/6 Dolls
Posted: Sun Aug 27, 2017 2:24 pmJust recently finished these 3 dolls from 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'!
I sculpted both Ichabod and Bram Bones heads and repainted Katrina from a 2016 Mattel Cinderella doll. (She was practically Ella's identical twin sister! :laughs: )
Anyway, Ichabod was a bit of a challenge because he is so gaunt and awkward, so I used a Monster High male body (thin and lanky), extended the neck for him, while Bram Bones is his opposite---all rounded features, so I used an older 1999/2000 muscle Disney Store Prince body for him, and sculpted his head, starting with a Kristoff DS head for the base to work from.
Hope you like them!! Ichabod is so.....hideous.....
I don't know why but when I started making them, I thought Ichabod the 'hero' and Bram the 'villain'! From my childhood recollections, it seemed to me that Bram was the 'bad guy' and poor Ichabod was the weakling turned hero, who the heroine fell for despite his faults!
Boy, were we wrong!
Upon rewatching it now to get a better view of the characters to sculpt, and make outfits for------we found our memories were wrong! Bram is the 'hero' (maybe faulted but not really bad at all----just a bit a jealous) and Ichabod is a gluttonous, conniving, gold-digging coward! And Katrina isn't an innocent sweetheart---oh no! She's a coquette, playing one guy against the other purposely--in order to make Bram jealous and treat her better!
Oh my gosh! How did we get this so wrong?!?!?
All together:
Ichabod Crane:
Katrina Van Tassel:
Bram Bones:
