I was supremely bored on the 9th of December, 2001. At about 3PM CST, I drew a quick sketch of a strange alien being. I already had a name and a brief history of this alien race. So was the dawning of the Yopu (pronounced YO-poe). I did a few sketches, asked some people to decide on a head, or a combination of heads I sketched, then went to work in Adobe Photoshop. I worked from 3PM to nearly 11:45PM on creating and designing the race. Then I began work on this page. I am very hungry, and very tired, so this page wont be anything dazzling to the eye. Just a simple history of the creation of the Yopu.

1. This was the original concept I sketched of the Yopu. |
|
2. These were the concept helms I had people vote on. I ended up using a combo of B and C. |
|
3. Here you see the result of the two being combined. |
|
4. Here's the Yopu helm after being colored. |
|
5. This is what the suit ended up looking like. Kind of a MewTwo/Drej/Phantom look. |
|
6. And this is the final result of near 8 hours an 45 minutes worth of work. |
All-in-all, I am very happy with the result. I hope you enjoy this look into the creation of the Yopu. At a later date, I will use thumbnails to reduce download time, and I will also include many more photos of the birth of the Yopu. Plus, I will add a short history of the Yopu, and how they found their way to Earth. For right now, though, I am going to go watch the Sci-Fi channel, and fall asleep on the couch. Come back soon to see the update!
