Is this only due to the light or is this fially the "grey Dragon" ??

Pretty sure it is the lighting. Is this a new photo?
My mistake. I banned him for a week and neglected to make the announcement. I'll see to that immediately.

Second one looks better and more raptor-proportioned.

Definitely.. I never like the side profile of the J20 for that exact reasons. The canopy just kind of juts out of nowhere w/o tapering and streamlining into the fuselage.
You guys have weird tastes.
. I think the regular J-20 looks a lot better. The two seater concept looks like it has a bubble head to me...

The double-seat one look better because it solve the issue of long-back. However, given such a large canopy without frame, I think it's impossible unless they have super strong glass.
The funny thing is, J-20's back is not actually flat, like that of the F-111 or Mig-25, but actually cambered. The problem is that the camber starts pretty abruptly at the back of the cockpit. Also, unlike the raptor, the area above of intakes are actually flat. This makes the plane pretty unappealing when viewed from the side or from the front. It is best viewe from the top or from the bottom.
