Some fans have been strongly critical of Milkovich's art style, specifically for drawing characters as boxy, 100% mechanical beings with extra "tech" detailing indiscriminately covering every single inch of their bodies (including beast kibble!), even after prior, more well-established media (such as ''the Beast Wars cartoon itself'') had popularized them as having organic parts and smooth, streamlined body contours.

Flesh, metal, what's the difference?

Milkovich's first work appeared in the fan art section for Dreamwave's Transformers #0. A few years later, he was contracted by IDW to illustrate many characters in the Beast Wars Sourcebook. Subsequently, Milkovich has inked Dan Khanna's pencils for IDW's Doubledealer Spotlight #1 and Titan UK's Transformers Movie #18. He continues to occassionally work on fan art commissions and takes on new assignments from IDW and Titan UK when he has free time from his career as an Urban Architect in Toronto, Canada.

Milkovich has a... distinctive art style, notable for boxy, 100% mechanical character designs with pervasive "tech" detailing covering every single inch of their bodies (including beast kibble!), even after prior, more well-established media (such as the Beast Wars cartoon itself) had popularized them as having organic parts and smooth, streamlined body contours.
