Description I simply adore the Disney "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow": the characters, the animation, the headless horseman...<3 and is obvious how this movie has been a base on which they have built the structure of Beauty and the Beast.

I love the animation of Katrina Van Tassel particularly, making her so softy and beauty, even if a little snobby at the beginning, but it's really satisfying to see her married with Brom Bones, finally a "bad one" I like that wins, even if he's not exactly the bad one.
Anyway, as Gaston is Van Brunt, no question, I thought: 

What if Katrina Van Tassel would have come to the small provincial town, instead of Belle? Surely she would have matched perfectly with the town hero!
And that's it: I took a screenshot of Gaston song, edited and drew my version of a dance between the two most beautiful and prosperous couple in town.

[annoying infos: this match could be possible, cause both stories are set in a similar period: Sleepy Hollow in 1790 and Beauty and the Beast, hypothetically, between second half 1700 and 1800] 

The background is property of Disney.

Katrina should have dated Gaston and Belle should have dated Ichabod!

Yeah. Good point. Why would Gaston go for Belle when he would have gone with Katrina?

This is incredible. Your image looks absolutely convincing -- as if it were a bona fide still from an authentic Disney film.

I think that Gaston and Katrina look terrific together. And I'm delighted to hear your positive appraisal of Katrina. I consider her to be Disney's most beautiful and interesting female lead character -- more truly a princess than most of the official princesses, and the only one who is soft and full-figured (though her corset hides it -- I wonder what her figure would look like without the corset).

I hope you consider doing further deviations involving Katrina. You have a gift.

I appreciate your words, I did my best to let it appear a real screen of an alternative version.  And ehy, apparently I did it

You think they would be terrific togheter? Maybe...but could you imagine the fun? Fight each other to assure who's the most beautiful in town: she, always jealous of other women glances on her man and he, possessive alpha male, who assists of man with heart-shaped eyes looking at her wife on the street? 
I always thought that Katrina was a silly, shallow girl who've been won by Brom only because Ichabod disappeared (and that's horrible). But then I started to thinking that maybe, even if early annoyed by the rowdy town hero, she revealed a feeling for him. Not openly in love from the beginning, but a game of who's the most influent, who has more power to choose. And in this way she choose Ichabod as a bait, giving him love-eye in front of Bones and winding him up during the dance.
She was a kind of a prize for all men in town, rich and wealthy and would be a waste to merry the first contendent: why not playing to be conquered from the man she admire? 

After all that, I'm surely planning other drawings involving Sleepy Hollow/BATB original character, it's only question of time. 
I'm glad you liked it so much, thanks.
