Basically a conceptual artist from Audi took a crack at making a new model TIE in his free time. I think it looks...sexy.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know...tomorrow."

Not a bad look, but in terms of continuity I think it loses something by not having the standard ball cockpit and, at the very least, the iconic TIE cockpit window. Even the bomber had that.
I mean it's cool, but it really looks like someones attempt at making a cool spaceship rather than someones attempt to make a TIE Fighter. If you're designing a TIE the last thing you should do is give it the same front profile as an X-Wing.
Its cool in its own right, but it shouldn't be linked to the TIE series. This could have been a good new fighter for the TFA as the replacement for the TIE, but it appears fighter technology for both sides has been in the hot-rod old frames vice replace with new models.
If it was a bit more angular. The cockpit is too rounded, the bars need to stand out and the whole thing needs to be geometric. Same with the wings. Other than that, it's pretty cool.
If you don't know your rights, you don't have any.
