Is there a submission process or if you create it It can be made into a motion book the simple kind or complicated version

You can make the book as complicated or as simple as you want! Submitting is very easy. Once you've finished the book you just export it to sta.sh and then upload it like you would anything else.

I can see some potential for these books -- primarily for how-to-draw tutorials. For everything else though ... It's just another gimmick.Β
Rather than the artist spending time with little animations most of them superficial, I'd rather the artist focus on detailing, texture lighting etc.Β
but these days it seems few people, save for artists, appreciate those things. I mean I've seen people skip through gorgeous game cinematics just to get to the next stage of a game (that they're playing for the first time).Β
So maybe these gimmicks would work after all.Β
Still -- it's good to have them there. As for me, for someone with a device capable of displaying this content, I'd rather create an iBook of my work to distribute.Β

I liked the idea.Very interesting. But for the deviants who did not understand very well, almost no tutorials... Sorry, I just found a tutorial.
