Is this sourdough gone bad?

Hi, this is my first attempt at making my own sourdough so I really have no idea what to expect. I made this (see attached photo) on 1st August at 16.30 (it’s now 3rd August 09.16 at time of writing). I used 50% Rye Flour and 50% water on first day and yesterday fed with half cup all-purpose and quarter cup water. I live in the tropics so room temperature is around 30c day and 28 night.

what do you think? Does it look normal or is it dead?

 

thanks

Normal at this stage. Keep following the instructions you have. Enjoy!

several times during the day.  Nothing too fancy, just swirl the jar a bit until it's blended together and then leave it alone.  How does it smell?
