Ornate Skull is a TikTok effect that went through a handful of iterations before landing on the current version. The skull was illustrated through Midjourney via a text I created, as was the spooky cemetery background. The skull was moved into Blender, then Photoshop, and a version of the skull with orange rings inside the eyes appears when the screen is tapped. Finally, for the big “secret” reveal, this filter is also compatible with cats and has a custom version of the ornate skull designed to look more cat-like. This appears when a cat’s face is within view of the device camera.
