Frank Milkovich

Frank Milkovich is a Transformers fan-turned-artist who has freelanced for IDW Publishing & Titan UK Magazine/Comics. In addition, Mr. Milkovich typically posts on transformers-related forums under the name Crobot91.

Frank'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, Frank has inked Dan Khanna's pencils for IDW's Doubledealer Spotlight #1 and Titan UK's Transformers Movie #18. Mr. Milkovich 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.

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, 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. His online behavior in the face of crticism hasn't done him any favors.

“	Lol, grow up guys! It's not like my goal in life is to draw comics. If you think that I, at the age of 32, am stilll (sic) desperately pinning my hopes on drawing comics, you're sadly mistaken, lol (that would actually be pretty pathetic on my part).	”
