Beast Wars Sourcebook

[edit]

Milkovich's art style in the Beast Wars Sourcebook has been the subject of negative critique, specifically for drawing characters as boxy, 100% mechanical beings with extra "tech" detailing indiscriminately covering every single inch of their bodies (including beast kibble!). His profile art composition is often distorted by the boundaries of his workspace, as arms and legs are forced to point inwards so the art can fit within the page. If there's a homogeneous sea of mechanical detail and the subject is squatting with both arms bending at the elbow towards the crotch, as if the robot is concealed in an imaginary box, you're probably looking at Frank Milkovich art.
