That is my impression as well.
Which is why I think that picture of J-20 and J-35 alongside each other is at best misleading and at worst a waste of time.
Yeah agreed, this sort of composite image is likely to be pretty misleading as to the actual relative sizes/dimensions. It's a cool overview of how different the planes look but because it's a composite of 2 images taken at different angles and distances it shouldn't be used for anything to scale like comparing their sizes or such.
I find these from the same guy marginally more useful because at least there's no weird perspectives or angles at play:
Sorry my friend! I thought it was quite obvious!
Hm? I would call it misleading, at least not by intention since I thought you know this artist and it was indeed obvious. And if it is a „waste of time“ is maybe a personell‘s opinion. I think it is not and shows nicely how different on the one side and different both fighters in certain details.

I'll be honest, I am not very fond of that artist for making size comparisons, because by making "images" or "infographics" they may end up creating more misinformation if details are incorrect.
Sometimes it is better to have no images/infographics than have incorrect images/infographics.
In this specific case, splicing two different images together just creates the risk of incorrectly scaling the two aircraft and creating further misimpressions.
It is so annoying. CCTV even filmed a footage showing the 'catapult launch' button being pressed for their news report, yet not any actual footage of aircraft being launched.
China usually publishes them right before their commissioned
