Well, my first post here and I've already got something to show!
Anyways, this is a redesign I did of the E-wing for a game modification I'm currently working on. I hated the original design of the E-wing and decided to try my hand at giving it a bit of edge, while still keeping the familiar design elements and not making it look too much like a completely different fighter.
I'm quite happy with it, maybe some day I'll go back and do a proper high-poly version of it, as this is just an in-game model.
And if you're interested, come check out our mod project. The forum is

The original always looked so primitive as if they ran out of ideas and just slapped some pieces from the junkyard together until it resembled a fighter.
Your improved version finally makes it believable that this is supposed to be the successor to the X-Wing.
Ditto!!

How about if you double the wings to make a new and sleeker X wing ...just an idea ...
gran trabajo amigo!
I always had the impression the XJ series only looked like the X-wing in appearence except sleeker more aggressive and meanier fighter design and not some upgrade of the X-wing. Its pretty much what the X-wing always wanted to be.
The best real-life examples would be the F-15 and the F-22. The Raptor does look similar to the eagle in design and the Role is exactly the same. However the Raptor design well similar is a completely different beast.
