As far as I know "Iron Eagle", he is a well known CG-artist, who usually creates quite realistic artworks.

Does "Iron Eagle" have a history of making just-for-fun or sarcastic computer images? If (and that's a big if) this turns out to be a real project, it could be the PLAAF's attempt to mash the concepts of an attack helicopter and close-support aircraft into one common airframe.

No, as far as I know his artworks, they all showed up quite realistically given projects.
I know several UAVs, the Il-76LL + WS-20, AG-600 - in China Coast Guard livery however -, the J-20
and Y-20 ... JL-9G and so on ...

But I must admit I don't know...

The technology is current, so it could well be China's interpretation of a high-speed helicopter gunship. But damn, the wingspan.

Rumours of WZ-XX is part of the statement made by AVIC spokesperson during a conference in 2016. They will reveal new helicopter designs based on breakthroughs in manufacturing and design (significantly shortened design time). This includes a helicopter "much more complex than WZ-10".

TBH that would not go out of place in a sci-fi movie. But realistic looks only goes so far, there is also the practical consideration. That wingspan would make it a huge bird.

I guess China can use a VTOL aircraft to complement or supplement their Z-18 and Z-10, especially if this type of design is somehow more achievable for them than say up-engining the Z-10. It would also make LHD's more capable whenever they get those in service.
