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.

"prompt": "Concept-art UI plate of the MACRO_VIRUS.XLS prestige moment — the 'Audit' dialog, a corporate-warning Win98 modal glowing on a bulbous beige CRT in a dark room; the reckoning that resets the sheet by shredding the evidence. A spreadsheet grid lies dimmed behind it, and at the bottom of that grid runs a row of worksheet tabs reading 'Sheet1', 'Sheet2', 'Sheet3', an ellipsis, then a final tab labeled 'TheVoid'. Centered over it all, the modal is administrative beige-grey (#c0c0c0) with the hard doubled bevel and a navy title bar (#000080→#1084d0) reading 'Audit'. Inside: a stern warning glyph, grey body text in a clipped corporate voice about discovered irregularities and mandatory restatement, and a checkbox 'Shred supporting documents'. The single saturated accent and only true glow is the Auditor's red (#c0392b) — a red warning band, a red-rimmed 'Audit Now' button, the cold red energy of bureaucratic inevitability bleeding onto the beige bezel and the dust, while a faint companion glow of dying spreadsheet-green (#1f7244) leaks from the cells behind, the Macro's accumulated number about to be zeroed. A beige 'Defer' button sits beside the red one. Painterly digital concept art, matte filmic finish, CRT scanlines, phosphor bloom, chromatic aberration and grain, a degraded 1999-scan look. Lighting is low and grave — the red Auditor energy is the dominant glow against deep shadow. Mood: corporate dread, inevitable, melancholy; the books always come due, and the only way forward is to burn them.",
