The planet of Tropica is amazingly earth albeit somewhat thin in oxygen. As such it was thought to be quite comfortably explored, with only minimal bolstering.
After several weeks it became apparent this was not the case - various diseases started manifesting, limbs began to shrivel, and internal organs began to bloat lending an obese apperance.

Truly beautiful matter. I think that it is very essential that we raise our clean, and public, conscience of the dangers of the obesitas. Moreover, the importance of maize should not be underestimated. A very flexible harvest, it produces many vitamins of necessary bases and helped the food more than 1.2 billion people since the indigenous Americans started to cultivate the factory (which they called mais).

First post in this forum, I love the daily sketch idea. Anyway, here's my first shot.

Here's an initial sketch I did once I saw the thread, to get the wheels turning.

Hehehe I like how it seems the majority of "obese figures" are bald men.

Cool, I think I can finally give some usefull criticism to someone's work.

CrazyHarij: Very good work! The scene is very full and has a jungle-feel
to it. Also, the lightrays and the way they illuminate the green plant matter are
very nice.
But, the angles at which the lightrays come in seem a bit odd. The sun's rays,
falling through holes in clouds or a jungle canopy, will always be parallel to each
other. Due to perspective however, they all appear to be diverging away from
the sun (crepuscular rays) as can be seen here:

If you however were drawing anticrepuscular rays, then disregard what I just said. Just trying to help =)

I didn't get as much in on the background as I would've liked, but I've been drawing and not posting, so I needed to put something in.

Hi! First time poster! I'm really interested in increasing my drawing skills and digital painting so to motivate myself I've started to do this. I hope to get into this regularly. Cross fingers it'll pay off!

I can't stress enough how thankful I am for someone taking the time to help me with advice. :)

Yes, you're completely right, I wasn't really taking that into account when making the picture but instead imagining the rays to go in totally different angles because of the vegetation and treetops obscuring the sunlight as a whole and creating the effect, but in retrospect it wouldn't be logical for the rays to go in different angles like that.

Maybe this is not earth but a distant jungle planet orbiting around several suns? :x lol, nah, thanks a ton for the help, I'll remember to keep this in mind the next time I attempt to draw sunrays (I absolutely love the effect when pulled off properly).

Anytime!
