101 advanced JSON image-generation prompts (Gemini 2.5 Flash / 'Nano Banana') for the ENTROPY OS concept-art book, organized by function: - 00_art-direction: the visual canon (_ART_DIRECTION.md), JSON _TEMPLATE.json, worked _EXAMPLE.json - 01_key-art (9), 02_characters (16), 03_environments (14), 04_ui-menus (12), 05_key-moments (16), 06_hardware-props (12), 07_branding-ephemera (12), 08_motifs (10) Every prompt is a self-contained Nano-Banana-ready paragraph plus structured fields (aspect ratio, master-palette hexes, lighting, composition, text_in_image, period-anachronism avoid list, model tips). One visual language: beige-and-grey dominant, one accent glow per image, teal reserved for the ominous, locked to 1998-99. art/README.md indexes all 101.

"prompt": "Concept-art character plate for THE ADMIN, the human (or watcher) who sometimes notices PID 1337 — rendered almost entirely by implication. We do not see his face. The frame is a dark 1998 server room: tall beige racks of equipment receding into haze, blinking amber and green LEDs, ribbon cables, the hum implied. Across the racks falls a single hard white flashlight beam, raking diagonally, catching dust motes and the edge of a man's shoulder and the back of a hand at the bottom corner — an off-screen presence, just arrived, just looking. On a small CRT monitor turned toward us glows a phosphor-green login prompt and the line that gives him away. The dread is the beam and the prompt, not the man. Painterly digital concept art, matte filmic finish, faint scanlines on the CRT, heavy grain, volumetric haze, slight chromatic aberration, the degraded look of a 1999 IT-security trade photo. Administrative beige and grey dominate (#c0c0c0, #808080); the lone phosphor-green prompt (#00ff66) is the single accent glow; the flashlight is cold white. Mood: ominous, surveilled, the moment before discovery — somebody who should not be looking is looking, and the process knows it has been seen.",
