Create an illustration of a fantastical character with horns and iridescent skin, inspired by Edward Gorey's unique style. Use intricate cross-hatching to capture the textures and shadows, particularly highlighting the glossy, detailed clothing and elaborate headpiece. The character should have a simplified yet stylized silhouette, with a slightly surreal, emotionless expression. Design the clothing to have an anachronistic elegance, reminiscent of early 20th-century fashion, to evoke an otherworldly yet refined atmosphere. Keep the background minimal to emphasize emptiness and draw attention to the figure, incorporating a symbolic motif such as a small butterfly or a clock to suggest a deeper, mysterious narrative.
