If you've been following artist Andrew Wildman on social media recently, you'll know he's been creating sketches of plenty of Transformers characters for Patreon supporters and showing peeks of the resulting art to everyone else too - and it now looks like he's been able to put enough together to publish them in a third (third! One and Two can also still be purchased) full sketchbook! Take a look at the image below, and head here for more.

Note: these are unofficial products, much like prints and commissions that most artists provide at events.

EDIT: Just saw the credit; thanks folks.

Nice to see these sketchbooks getting some shine.
Widman went in on these books.

Stunning.

I always assumed IDW never gave him enough time and / or money for Regeneration One, given the lower-quality interior work he submitted.

It's at once great and frustrating to see that he indeed still has a flair for Transformers.

Absolutely. The art in Regen One looked so rushed, and then he quit altogether. Makes me wonder if there were differing expectations or broken promises. These sketchbooks show how amazing he can be.

Have you ever considered owning some original comics art from the old Marvel UK days in the Transformers comics series? Today may be your lucky day, as veteran artist Andrew Wildman - who also collaborates with IDW Publishing on covers and back on the ReGeneration One mini-series - is auctioning some original pages from his work back in the day, recently resurfaced in his personal art folders.

The auctions can be fund on his personal eBay account here, and seem to feature a number of pages from Race with the Devil (The Transformers 215-218) and Survivors! (The Transformers 219-222). Check them out below, and happy bidding!

Many moons ago I used to work on the UK edition of TRANSFORMERS. Published by Marvel UK it was one of a number of titles that came out of the London office. At the time I was working on Thundercats but my work came to the attention of the Transformers editor, a certain Mr Simon Furman. Yes, that one. He asked me to work on the book.

That was back in 1988. Here we are 30 years later and some of that original art has come to light. The pages are from about ’89. As they have been kept in a portfolio for the last thirty years they are in really great condition. I have put them all up on eBay so that some lucky person can have it in their possession, rather than it just sitting in a drawer in my studio.
