Yoda from Star Wars: The Empire Strike Back is one of the greatest on-screen characters ever made. The man that created the distinctive looks for the film is Ralph McQuarrie (Star Wars, Cocoon, Battlestar Galactica).
One thing that is sometimes missed is that he worked along with Joe Johnston (now a director) on the films. Unfortunately, some of Johnston's work is incorrectly credited as McQuarrie's.
Here's a list of great concept art from the film and the proper credits.
