Very cool. Images like this are fairly popular in woodworking for low poly pet art:

(search "low poly" on /r/woodworking for a lot more)

DMesh is probably the most popular tool in this space that I've seen, but it's a very manual process (manually select vertexes and it fills the space with the average color).

Yours definitely gives a different look - a bit more aliased - which is interesting. Would be fun to try this one out too.

For low-poly art, I wonder if there could be a way to only triangulate a specific area. (eg. only the pet and not the background)

Also, if you need something less aliased, check out Triangle [1], a similar and awesome tool!
