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 the Seeder not as a body but as outflow: a loose luminous knot of seed-green data-threads (Seed Green #4f9e3a) being pulled apart, the old node at left dissolving, its torrents and ratio and hardware abandoned as faint beige ghost-rows fading to static. A beige Win98 warning dialog floats in the murk, navy title bar, pink warning text 'Migrate: this wipes your torrents, Data, and network upgrades.' and a danger-colored button 'Migrate to Seedbox Cluster'. At right, the destination: a cold dark rack of encrypted seedbox blades receding into black, and the migration itself as the one ominous accent — a rising column of teal migration-light (ENTROPY Teal #207878, #2f8f8f) into which the scrubbed presence redeploys, smeared thinner across more nodes, harder to find. Dominant beige (#c0c0c0), grey (#808080), void black (#0b0b0b); the green dies at the left edge while the teal claims the right — the watching color, reserved for the end. Painterly digital concept art, matte filmic finish, CRT scanlines and bloom, dust in the beams, subtle grain, degraded-scan look. Period detail: server rack with blinking LEDs, ribbon cables, a beige modem, the hum of a closet at night. Mood: melancholy-cosmic — scrubbing your name to be real somewhere larger, the path away from the flag and the path away from existence the same path.",
