Create an illustration in the style of Edward Gorey featuring a detailed, mechanical bird-headed figure inspired by ancient architecture and intricate patterns. The character should showcase meticulous cross-hatching to highlight textures and shadows, emphasizing the metallic and gemstone elements embedded in its armor. The background should be minimalistic, evoking a sense of emptiness while featuring symbolic motifs like faint hieroglyphic patterns on stone walls, giving an eerie, timeless quality. The character should have a simple, exaggerated silhouette, standing stoically, with a sense of otherworldly mystery and detachment, reminiscent of Gorey’s characters.
