Kingdom Hearts Art Book Project II is an artbook featuring artwork of characters from the Kingdom Hearts games. The zine is a sequel to The Beginning: A Kingdom Hearts Fanbook.

About

Following the completion of The Beginning: A Kingdom Hearts Fanbook, Kenzichi posted on May 15, 2015, a survey for a new art book project[1]. Signups for the art book project began from July 14, 2015, and closed on July 16, 2015, due to a high volume of applications[2]. A total of 56 applications were submitted[3].

Preorders opened from January 26, 2016, to March 19, 2016[4]. The zine was sold for $16 USD and included 46 illustrations by 45 artists. An offer of a bonus print was offered for the first 20 orders. Orders were reopened from March 28 to April 4, 2016 to handle leftover books[5].

Books were begining to be shipped by March 21, 2016[6]. All orders were shipped out by March 31, 2016[7].

The project was declared complate on April 4, 2016, in a post in which the organizer thanked all participants and followers[8].

Ahhhh I got my copy of the KH Art Book in the mail today! It’s so pretty, and all the art looks amazing!

It’s so weird to see my own art printed in a book and seeing how I’ve improved since then. I’m so happy I was able to be a part of this! Thank you @kenzichi for organizing the @oneskykhartbook![14]

I came home to this tonight. The @oneskykhartbook ! It is just GORGEOUS! Thank you so much to everyone who participated in the project, because it’s such a treat to look through this. I was surprised by how nicely it was formatted. Great job! I commend all of you guys!

As a fanfic writer, I sometimes think about doing something similar to this (maybe in digital form like the oneskyonedestiny ones?) but including both art AND fic. It sounds like a daunting task, to coordinate with all the people contributing, and then gather it all into a nice format. But if there was enough interest in it, I’d be happy to try to work something out! (Maybe over summer when people aren’t in classes? Idk…)[15]
