The series took some time to take off but after the release of book 2 the series picked up some serious steam. In that time we pivoted our idea for the covers and fully committed to the genre conventions of sci-fi. The compositions have been evolving more and more with each release as my skills have improved over the last 4 years.

It’s been my goal to keep the artwork consistent and on brand while delivering fresh cover ideas to each new installment. I want each cover to entice readers with new stories, adventures, and flavors to keep them coming back book after book.

Outcomes

My Homemade Spaceship is Douglas Michael's most successful series by a wide margin with 12 books released and counting, over 17,000 amazon reviews, and consistent readership even in later books of the series. It's been a massive hit for Michaels and enabled him to release 8 separate series under his name.
