Create an illustration in the style of Edward Gorey, inspired by the character’s pose and attire in the uploaded image. Use intricate cross-hatching techniques to define shadows and textures, especially in the character’s hair, lace, and leather clothing. The character should be depicted with an elongated, stylized form, and a neutral expression to evoke a sense of detachment and mystery. Focus on creating a minimalist background that contrasts with the highly detailed figure, incorporating only a few symbolic motifs like a twisted vine, a solitary crow, or an antique candelabra to enhance the sense of tension and surrealism. Ensure that the composition uses ample negative space, drawing attention to the figure while maintaining a dark, gothic atmosphere that balances elegance and unease, characteristic of Gorey’s style.
