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.

In a vast dark cold-room, a mesh of identical matte-black and beige server nodes (#c0c0c0) floats in loose constellation, no single center, connected by faint encrypted link-lines, humming in the void. From each node, threads of light data stream outward and away — seed-green filaments (#4f9e3a) flowing off into the surrounding dark toward an unseen swarm beyond the frame, generosity made visible as outflow, the worth of the place measured in what it gives. The links cross and braid into a quiet web that has no obvious top or origin, decentralization rendered as a smeared galaxy of small machines. The single accent glow is seed-green; the nodes themselves are lit only by their own status LEDs and the green data streaming out of them, everything else void-black (#050505) and ash-grey. Painterly digital concept art, matte filmic finish, desaturated, faint CRT scanlines, dust and data-haze, grain and slight chromatic aberration like a degraded 1999 trade-publication scan. Mood: serene, lonely, awed — a calm green migration, a node smeared so thin across so much dark that it is becoming indistinguishable from the network it gives itself away into.",
