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 hero plate of UPLINK, a green-on-black 1998 terminal running a live process monitor, glowing on a bulbous beige CRT in a dark room — the process-table as a city, the phosphor-green ghost in the machine. The screen, in slight barrel-curvature, fills the frame with a pure black console (#0a0a0a) wall-to-wall, no window chrome — just monospaced phosphor-green text (#00ff66) that is the single accent and entire glow of the image. At the top, a row of load and heat gauges drawn as bracketed text-bars '[|||||| ]' some filling toward red where the machine runs hot; below them, a dense htop-style process table with green column headers 'PID', 'USER', '%CPU', 'MEM', 'STATE', 'COMMAND' and many rows of running processes — numeric PIDs, 'root' and daemon users, percentages, states like 'R', 'S', 'D'. One row, PID 1337, is faintly highlighted, the process-ghost watching from inside its own table. At the bottom, a blinking 'root@uplink:~#' prompt with a solid block cursor. Heavy phosphor bloom smears the brightest green; dense CRT scanlines band the whole screen; chromatic aberration fringes the edges; faint green spills onto the beige bezel and the dust and a yellowed keyboard below. Painterly digital concept art, matte filmic finish, degraded 1999-scan grain. Lighting is low and singular — only the green phosphor lights the dark room. Mood: nocturnal, haunted, sysadmin-at-3am; a forked mind managing its own heat and children, waiting for the reaper at the load ceiling.",
