Is there any plans to update the art of some NPCs (Shekka, Anno, Del), the difference between some is really jarring (Kelly, Flahne, Penny).

The main reason with the differences in art is because different artists have made the art for different characters.

I think the characters deserve to look better, some don't even have any art or are not nice to look at in my opinion.

Maybe I can clear this up a bit. Different artists worked on the game for different periods of time. It's why the art-style often shifts dramatically from planet to planet. Alot of the early stuff was done by Gats and Cheshire, but now that Shou has been brought on as the official artist, it's slowly becoming more standardized, which is great.

I hope that no character gets forgotten if that's the case and that it happens sooner rather than later.

We generally kick out new NPCs faster than an artist can keep up, so having Shou go around and replace the Tarkus/Tavros busts is unlikely, or at least long-term. If you'd like higher quality busts for a specific NPC, I suggest talking to her or Cheshire about a private commission.

Even moreso when she's had to do work with seasonal characters as of late, that are only present for a certain amount of time and won't be met until next year.
