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.

Each box is the same Administrative Beige (#c0c0c0), the same bulbous proportions, the same vents and dead floppy slot, the same air of a machine guaranteed to fail — but they escalate left to right in model number, each badge longer and more digit-heavy than the last: 'OMNIDYNE 8', 'OMNIDYNE 8800', 'OMNIDYNE 8860/DX', 'OMNIDYNE 8860/DX2-V', 'OMNIDYNE 88604460/DX2-V/X(b)'. Tiny sub-labels under each read 'a wholly-owned subsidiary of the previous'. They are subtly grimier and more yellowed as the eye moves right, the last one faintly sweating. The only colored accent is a single row of dim amber power LEDs (#ffb000), one per box, all at the same dead height — a line of identical small warnings. Soft shadows pool beneath each box on the sweep; dust drifts in the flat light. Painterly catalog-realism, matte filmic finish, degraded-scan grain, scanlines, slight chromatic aberration. Beige and grey dominate; amber is the lone repeated whisper. Mood: corporate uniformity as cosmic horror — escalating numbers, identical dread, the ouroboros of subsidiaries, photographed with bureaucratic neutrality.",
