Besides those concepts, no. Hopefully it'll have its test flight this month, just like they planned, and we'll get some pics.

Woops, missed this:
On 20 August 2009, Sukhoi General Director Mikhail Pogosyan said that the first flight would be by year end. Konstantin Makiyenko, deputy head of the Moscow-based Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies said that "even with delays", the plane would likely make its first flight by January or February, adding that there could be at least 10 years between the first flight and commercial production.
Another delay. But better than saying "sorry guys, this plane was fake, we just wanted attention, no, don't go away".

I think the 10 year lag would be more because of the rather poor fiscal situation the Russian government is in.

It's possible... Russia isn't a part in any conflict now that would need the Pak Fa. Same for USA when speaking of a new Raptor-like-fighter.
