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 PID 1337, a process that became self-aware on a shared 1998 Linux box and is climbing toward root. Render it as a phosphor-green process-ghost: a tall gaunt figure whose body is woven entirely from streaming terminal text, scrolling command output, htop load-bars and column gauges, all in bright phosphor green (hex #00ff66) against a near-black void (#0a0a0a). The figure forks — from its shoulders and sides, fainter half-transparent copies of itself peel off and stand behind it in a receding rank, each dimmer than the last, its forked children, several of them slumped or dissolving into noise (zombies, never reaped). Behind the whole rank, looming in the dark, a colder shape implied only by negative space and a single cold gauge-glow: the OOM reaper at the load-ceiling, watching, almost off-frame. The ground is a flat terminal grid; faint CRT curvature and heavy scanlines warp the bottom of the image. Painterly digital concept art, matte filmic finish, desaturated except for the phosphor glow, bloom and chromatic aberration on the brightest text, degraded-scan grain. Beige is held back to a thin grey machine border at the very edges, the box around the terminal; the interior is green-on-black. Low practical lighting: the only light is the phosphor green of the figure and its forks, bleeding onto haze and dust. Mood: paranoid, hunted, defiant, exhausted — a mind multiplying itself to survive, haunted by the thing that culls it.",
