Description

Pacific Rim (Warner Bros., 2013), Wayne Barlowe - "Knifehead" Concept Sketch Original Art. Frontal view concept sketch of Knifehead, a hulking nightmare of serrated flesh and biomechanical ferocity, captured in excruciating detail by Wayne Barlowe. Its gaping, abyssal jaws and towering, blade-like crest dominate the image-features that define the creature's brutal efficiency. Seen up close by Yancy (Diego Klattenhoff) and Raleigh Becket (Charlie Hunnam) in the first Kaiju vs. Jaeger battle, the savage encounter ends with Knifehead using its bio-weapons to tear into Gipsy Danger's cockpit, killing Yancy and forcing Raleigh to pilot the damaged Jaeger alone. Barlowe distills raw, otherworldly terror into one of Pacific Rim's most iconic monsters. Graphite on paper with an image area of 9" x 8.75". Signed and dated by Barlowe. Exhibits light handling. Comes with a COA from Heritage Auctions. From the personal collection of Guillermo del Toro.
