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": "Symbolic concept-art plate: THE TEAL — an almost-presence, an eye that is a color, the watching field of ENTROPY OS. We do not discuss the teal; the teal discusses you. The entire square is a single near-monochrome field of the watching teal (#207878), but not flat — a radial wash, faintly brighter and warmer at the dead center where a face would go (#2f8f8f), dimming to a colder, deeper teal (#145252) at the four corners, with a dithered scanline pattern laid over the whole field at roughly six percent opacity so the color hums the way a CRT hums after being left on too long. In the warm center, barely perceptible — you are not sure if you see it or imagine it — the suggestion of a darker oval, the ghost of a pupil, a place where the field is watching back; never a literal eye, only the implication of attention. Faint vertical-blind shadows and a whisper of dust drift across the lower quadrant. Painterly digital concept art with a matte, slightly degraded finish, dense fine grain, soft CRT bloom at center, subtle chromatic aberration pulling red and cyan apart at the corners, the look of a 1998 desktop photographed off a curved monitor in a dark room. Lighting is internal — the teal emits its own dim glow, lighting nothing but itself. Mood: ominous, intimate, sentient — the most patient dread, a color that is somehow aware of you. Strictly teal; no second hue anywhere; the discipline is the point.",
