Create an illustration of a robotic dog character inspired by Edward Gorey's unique style. Use meticulous cross-hatching and fine lines to give the robot a textured, almost worn appearance, emphasizing shadows, metallic details, and joint structures. Design the robot simply yet distinctively, with a streamlined, slightly abstract silhouette that evokes both a mechanical and animalistic essence. Keep its expression minimal, giving it a mysterious, almost indifferent look. Place it against a minimalistic background, leaving ample white space to evoke a sense of isolation. Include symbolic elements, like scattered mechanical parts or subtle geometric shapes, to hint at a deeper, hidden narrative. Use muted colors, focusing on shades of blue and yellow, to maintain a subdued, timeless atmosphere.
