Our expert's notes

A hand-drawn Eborsisk illustration from Ron Howard’s fantasy film Willow. In the film, Willow (Warwick Davis) cast a spell on a troll that turned it into a grotesque two-headed beast called the Eborsisk. The name is a portmanteau of famous film critics Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel. Phil Tippett sculpted and created the Eborsisk with Randy Dutra from an unused Star Wars monster design sketched by Ralph McQuarrie. Tippett brought the Eborsisk to life using go-motion animation, a technique he developed to make the movements of stop-motion creatures look more fluid and realistic. Tippett was nominated for Best Visual Effects for his work on this film at the 61st Academy Awards^®.

Phil Tippett drew this illustration on two sheets of vellum paper that are taped together. It shows the head and neck of the monstrous creature. The drawing is done using pencil and marker.

The lot shows minor wear to the paper due to production use and age, and remains in good condition. Dimensions: 34" x 36” (86 cm x 92 cm)
