This is a suite of concept art by Yannic Kawan for the spacecraft Anthem in the Netflix series Love Death+Robots.

It's supposed to be a realistic near-future 'repair truck' style of vehicle and I think he did a pretty good job!
These three are just a sample. There are over a dozen much bigger originals plus lots of notes on his ArtStation page:

It's an impressive amount of work for a 10 minute short film, isn't it?  :wub:

Zero-Sen

Yep!
The interior of the ship is barely visible at the beginning and at the end of the film but it's worth it (the story was kind of creepy though).
Impressive CGI work! :thumbsup:

Interesting, that cockpit looks as if it came straight from a Hotspur glider.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

My guess is Hotspur fuselage, Spitfire main wings, scaleorama'd Spitfire wings for the canards. Can't ID the engine pod though.

Looks good: I've had similar thoughts about the Hotspur myself. :thumbsup:

I DO like them, specially the F-302.  :thumbsup:

But it'd be more practical without the pointy wing and tail I reckon.

The pointy wings are very characteristic of several Republic schemes from the 1950s, including the XF-103 which this is clearly inspired by. It'd definitely be more practical with a dorsal rather than ventral fin (like the XF-103!) though, especially since it has the wing-mounted fins to maintain directional stability at high AoA.
