Frank Milkovich

Frank Milkovich is a Canadian Transformers fan-turned-artist who has freelanced for IDW Publishing and Titan UK Magazine/Comics. He typically posts on Transformers-related forums under the name Crobot91.

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 Spotlight: Doubledealer and Titan UK's Transformers Comic #18. He continues to occasionally 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 in Beast Wars Sourcebook, 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.
