Create a 9-heads-tall figure in the style of Edward Gorey's art, incorporating intricate cross-hatching and fine line work to convey deep shadows and detailed textures. Focus on capturing the character's hair, clothing, and facial features with delicate, precise strokes. Maintain a stylized, slightly eerie silhouette and a simplified expression that conveys a sense of detachment or subtle unease. Position the character in a minimalistic background with sparse details, emphasizing empty space. Include a few symbolic motifs like a dark feathered bird, a pendulum clock, or a shadowy figure in the corner to evoke an unsettling atmosphere. Ensure the use of fine cross-hatching for shading to add a sense of depth and contrast, while keeping the overall tone mysterious and enigmatic, characteristic of Gorey's unique visual storytelling.
