In addition to his fanon artwork and the Imperial-class Star Destroyer model, he also did 3D representations of then-canon vessels for Warfare, including the Praetor II-class Star Battlecruiser, the Interdictor-class Star Destroyer, the Executor-class Star Dreadnought (which was also his first Star Wars-related 3D artwork), and the Harrower-class dreadnought.
