Style identification: Low-poly or what

I've seen this art style over multiple websites in the past, but just can't seem to identify an underlying style/category for it. It seems to be some geometry based low-poly, but searches don't really match it. Is it maybe a subset of low-poly?



A couple examples:

I think it's a kind of evolution of characters illustration. Adding the word "character" at the end of each of the following styles, Google shows several results.




  • Pixel Art Characters

  • Isometric Pixel Art Characters

  • Block Isometric Characters

  • Isometric Low Poly Characters

  • Low Poly Characters

  • 3D Low Poly Characters

    Yes, I would say that it is in fact low poly art, though it's a cleaner and more contemporary look than traditional low poly art.



    I'm sure it has a particular name, can't find it at the moment.



    Compare it with other low poly images: (Google Search)

      This tomato and elephant seem to be in a rather different style to the examples in the question. Your examples are definitely 3D, whereas the ones in the question are a sort of hybrid 2D-3D -- for example their heads are definitely 3D but their limbs are just 2D.

      FWIW "Low poly papercraft" is what I'd call it, and the result I get from Google image search appear to agree.

    It is flat shaded low-poly: each polygon is a single, solid color.
