Characters / Minimalist Sherpas

Less detail. The same friendly guides.

Two reductions of Summit, Ridge, and Terra. Keep the goggles and clear clothing silhouettes. Remove most gear, seams, textures, and decoration.

Recommend Soft Minimal for companions. It keeps the family’s volume with fewer details. Graphic Minimal is the next step toward compact avatars and simple state graphics. Both need a small-size pass before adoption.

Shared rules

Keep the broad connected goggles, warm expressions, and distinct hood, helmet, and hat shapes. Limit gradient color to the lens. Keep the face clear when goggles are parked. Preserve Terra’s warm brown skin and modern trekking identity.

Concept sheets made with built-in imagegen using the approved guide sheets and supplied Rex icon as references. The Rex reference informed shape economy, not character identity. These are raster studies, not cutouts, animation rigs, or adopted replacements. Lens saturation and face consistency need a later pass.
