Illustrate a character in Edward Gorey’s distinctive cross-hatching style. The character should be depicted wearing a glossy, black outfit with a fitted bodice, frilled lace accents, and cat ear accessories. Emphasize the contrast and texture of the shiny fabric using intricate cross-hatching and fine linework to create depth and shading. The character’s face should have an emotionless, doll-like expression, exuding a subtle sense of unease. Use elongated proportions and slightly exaggerated features to achieve an uncanny effect. Keep the background minimalistic, with faintly drawn architectural elements like an arched doorway or vintage lamp to hint at a narrative without overpowering the scene. Incorporate a symbolic motif, such as a shadowy bird or a winding staircase, to enhance the eerie atmosphere and evoke a sense of silent tension. Use dense cross-hatching in the background and a few carefully placed motifs to accentuate the character’s presence and Gothic elegance.
