monster feeadcbd76 art: add The Art of Boring Software — concept-art prompt library
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.

Render him deadpan and frontal — a mid-level company man in a beige off-the-rack suit and beige tie, beige skin in the dead fluorescent light, standing in a beige corporate lobby with vertical blinds and a drop ceiling. His face is bland to the point of menace, a corporate smile that does not reach the eyes. Around his neck hangs a company lanyard whose printed cord is a tiny ouroboros — a snake of corporate logotype swallowing its own tail — and his ID badge photo is the same photo holding the same badge, receding infinitely inward, a man who owns the man who owns him. Behind him a wall of identical beige cubicles and one buzzing fluorescent tube. Painterly digital concept art, matte filmic finish, faint scanlines on a far CRT, heavy grain, slight chromatic aberration, the degraded look of a 1998 annual-report photo. Administrative beige and grey dominate everything (#c0c0c0, #808080, #dfdfdf); a single sickly fluorescent-amber glow (#ffb000) overhead is the only warmth; one cold navy accent (#000080) on the badge lanyard print. Mood: deadpan corporate menace, fluorescent dread, the horror of total beige — a man fully recursive, fully owned, fully fine with it.",
