Create an eccentric character with a surreal yet playful demeanor, inspired by Edward Gorey's distinct illustration style. Depict a lizard-like figure wearing whimsical modern accessories--including a robe with bat-like winged interiors, braided hair, sunglasses, and jewelry, blending elements of fantasy and streetwear. Use meticulous cross-hatching to illustrate the textures of the creature’s scales, clothing, and accessories. Capture the contrast between smooth surfaces and intricate details, emphasizing both the folds of the robe and the leathery texture of the creature's tail and wings. The character design should be both peculiar and charming, expressing an offbeat personality through exaggerated poses. Maintain a minimal background to direct attention towards the figure, with only subtle shading or light patterns in the negative space to reflect Gorey’s preference for sparseness. The figure’s posture should suggest a quirky confidence, as though striking a pose for an unseen audience, with elements such as small stars, mystical symbols, or playful objects subtly integrated within the character's accessories to evoke curiosity. This artwork should embody a strange fusion of contemporary style and the eerie, timeless quality of Gorey’s world.
