Illustrate a character inspired by a sailor uniform, posed with an air of mystery and detachment, in Edward Gorey’s signature style. Use fine cross-hatching to create depth and shadows, emphasizing the folds in the clothing and the subtle textures of the hair and fabric. Design the character with a simplified, stylized face, featuring a reserved, emotionless expression. Include a black cat with large, expressive eyes sitting nearby, serving as a symbolic companion. Keep the background minimal, with a crescent moon or faint stars floating above, using empty space to enhance the eerie, isolated atmosphere.
