Hello #PortfolioDay ! I'm Ninn, an illustrator from France. I draw surrealistic scenes focused on the sky, and nature in general. Check out my daily meteorological fiction project here: @clever_reports 🌈ninnsalaun.com ✨[email protected]
Colour pencil drawing: a house with a red roof, a red door and red shutters, on top of a bright green hill. There is a winding path going up the hill, and some dark green bushes scattered all around. The sky is a solid black.

A pastel drawing: a huge, solid black circle floats in the sky, surrounded by orange sunset clouds in a purplish blue sky. Underneath, some tall trees in the evening light, and a small figure walks across a clearing.

Digital painting: the dark silhouette of a person with long hair and a long coat stands sideways, but with their face facing the viewer, in front of a snowy countryside landscape at night. Where their face should be is a glowing opalescent mask, with a colourful abstract pattern. There is an artificial light source lighting the ground white in the foreground.

A wax pastel drawing: a huge towering cloud in a bright blue sky, towering over a light green field. There is a line of green trees separating them. In the field, a small, featureless figure stands over a large rectangle on the ground, opening onto a night sky with a gradient of black to light blue, filled with bright stars. Everything is very central in the frame.

"The weather" is not small talk. Weather is vast, beautiful, and mysterious. We are never really ready to talk about the clouds

We report 2023 days of Reports From Unknown Places! I usually like to take milestones as excuses to try something new and confusing with Reports. This year, I missed the 5-year anniversary back in March, so the 2000 days anniversary had to be extra new and confusing.

I made one report for each hour of the day: small squares drawn with wax pastels, interrupted sentences, one short minute at a time. In the end, the sky is the sky, so a temporary change in format like this can still make sense, which is nice to realise.

I do have to say, after trying this out, I have no plans to start posting hourly! We’ll keep doing the daily thing. Thank you so much for paying attention to this project, whether you have a look once in a while, or it’s a daily meeting. This means a lot to me.

We report on a brittle January morning: the dew point is rather low, and along with the wind, we think that we might freeze solid if we stay out too long. We count the handful of remaining stars in the sky, and the air inexplicably smells like dawn, brisk and sweet.
Digital painting of a dusk sky, a gradient of deep blue to a very pale yellow, partly covered with dark blue clouds with straggly bits. There are a few stars still in the darkest parts of the sky.

We report: the stratus fractus of wet weather have come, and we are wondering as to what kind of wet weather we are supposed to be having. Until very recently, we were quite certain the weather would remain very dry throughout the day. Our expert puts on a second coat.
Digital painting of a cold countryside landscape in the winter. There are bare trees in the distance, the grass is brown and grey where there is frost. There is a path running diagonally through the field. The sky is a uniform light grey but for the few small, dark grey clouds with jagged edges.

We report at the shorter end of the afternoon: the light has come to glaze the world with honey. Though it is the coldest it has been since the early morning, there is a warmth to the clear sky. Our expert is still looking for the presence of clouds somewhere - typical behaviour.
Digital painting of some roofs underneath a clear sky, just before sunset. The light is waning, but it is colouring the buildings yellow from the side, casting sharp shadows. There is a bird flying to the left-hand side of the frame. The sky is a gradient of pale blue to a peach colour.

We report: for the second time now, we struggle in our attempt to button up our coat with our numb fingers. There is a robin hopping around the feet of bare bushes, rummaging through sodden leaves for worms. There is that complicated smell of white rot fungus in the air.
Digital painting of a sunset sky: large, voluminous, orange clouds are rising into the faded blue sky of dusk. The highlights and shadows are soft and diffuse.

We report long past our bedtime, whatever it is meant to be: the moon has prematurely vanished from the night sky, and we unfortunately do not have the patience to seek it out for very long. The clouds are moving at a leisurely pace, and we feel rather sleepy.

We report: there is only a light breeze on the beach, but it is enough to carry a substantial amount of sea-spray. Only the ocean can tire us out this way, make us bone-weary, and the cold has gone to our feet despite all our layers. We also feel particularly alive.
Digital painting of a seascape: the sky is big, full of clouds that hide the low sun. Even then, there are distinct sun rays scattered all over the sky, creating strong highlights and shadows. The sea is a steel grey, the coastal line is running over the horizon, and there is a small island peaking out of the water.

We report in the space of a few seconds, while the light shines just at the right angle, through the correct type of air: there is a small bit of iridescence sojourning on the edge of a cloud. This time, for once, we let it vanish without alerting anyone to its presence.
Digital painting of a blue sky, the frame half-occupied by a white cloud with a jagged lower edge. A rainbow runs along this edge, pastel orange, pink, purple, blue, green, and yellow. There are tiny wisps of clouds sprinkled across the clear sky below.

We report: the sunset was cut a little bit short by the gathering clouds. The sky was clear throughout the day, but come dusk, a few wisps of condensation started to appear above the horizon. The west wind quickly brought more with it, and the humidity is now palpable.
Digital painting of a sunset sky, long, dark purple clouds with orange light filtering underneath. The sky is already dark, a lilac hue above the clouds.

We report while we are still in the grasp of slumber: Mars, Castor, and Pollux are all holding hands, slowly descending towards the horizon. As they complete their journey across the vault, the sun is beginning its own on the opposite side. Our expert is still snoring lightly.
Digital painting of a dusk sky, a gradient of deep, dark blue, to a pale yellow. There are thin, diaphanous clouds above the horizon, one of them lightly tinted orange. There are three bright dots square in the centre of the frame, almost perfectly aligned. One of them is yellow, the other two are white.

We report: today, the fog is so dense that even our expert's keen eyes are starved for details. The sky seems a nebulous concept when brought down so low to the ground. We watch minuscule droplets of water dance in front of the fog lights, and the day goes by unseen.
Digital painting of a foggy scene, houses and trees lost in the distant blur, and some utility poles, closer to the foreground. The fog is particularly thick.

We report on a slow day: the clouds, too, are taking all the time in the world this morning. The ground is frozen solid, and we are finding a shimmer on every surface. We briefly thought time itself was not moving, until it all started to melt in the low winter sun.
Digital painting of a deep blue sky, half-covered in cirrus. It is fibrous, gossamer thin in many places, more solid where the light is directly hitting it, like a spiderweb.

We report: someone has lit a fire in the neighbourhood, and we have trouble telling smoke from clouds. The days have not grown much longer yet, and the sunsets still seem to last hours, holding on tightly to each end of the afternoon. We tread well-worn grooves in muddy paths.
Digital painting of a peach-coloured sky, with a bit of more saturated yellow and red in the lower half of the frame. There are straggly, grey clouds scattered every which way across the sky, falling apart from all sides.

We report on the moon side of things: one, two, three nights in a row we have been able to see the moon on its way down. For the month of January, this is nothing short of a miracle. A waxing gibbous, kept from the cold by the small clouds surrounding it, or so we hope.
Digital painting of the dark blue night sky, a yellow half moon casting a glow across the whole frame. There are long, dark clouds occupying the bottom half of the frame, and tiny ones, lit by the moon, arranged in a circle around it.

We report: while the sky is doing its best to swallow itself through its impossible maw, the hail starts falling. It is, at first, a handful of pebbles on the roof, but once it gets going for good, the sound is almost deafening. The afternoon is stitched out of these showers.
Digital painting of a dark cloudy sky, a mammatus formation that looks like swirls of pockets of clouds. The bottom right corner is a triangle of yellow light. There are birds flying all around, high in the sky.

We report as the wind is picking up: if we listen closely, we think we can hear the waves up there. The weather is changing, a taste of storm that carries from afar. We are taking a dive for cold waters, and we are watching the birds attempting to stay afloat.
Digital painting of a bright blue sky filled with cirrus of all kinds of swirly, twisted shapes, entangled with one another.
