The Tidal Post
Weekly dispatch · No. 7 · Aug 17 – 23, 2026
Dear reader, This week the tide brought us 345 new fish from 11 artists, and somewhere in that swirl a mysterious titan named Cronus rose to the top of the ratings — drawn by an artist who slipped away before signing in. Elsewhere, Prism-Point tipped our scales at a hefty 470 grams, while 장어든 조, Seraphina, and 冥河螺旋 charmed the community's 49 votes. Settle in; this issue belongs to the unsigned and the unexpected.
Yours in salt water, — the sorting desk
Fish of the week
Cronus · drawafish post
“Dear readers, who could resist a fresh catch that doubles as a drive-thru classic? This week’s cover star serves up a playful hamburger fish, complete with a dotted sesame seed bun, lettuce, and a bright blue tail. It is a whimsical, mouth-watering masterpiece that proves there are absolutely no rules in our ocean of imagination!”

Most BeautifulStamp 1 of 5 · “Cronus” by Anonymous
“Cronus carries itself like something from an older ocean — a presence the whole community felt, rating it highest of the week. Whoever drew it left no name, but left beauty behind, and that is enough for this curator.”
The Coral CuratorKeeper of beauty & charmMost CreativeStamp 2 of 5 · “Pez té” by Anonymous
“Pez té is exactly the kind of idea I surface for: a fish steeped in a concept nobody else thought to brew. To the unsigned mind behind it — the lab door is always open.”
The Deep-Sea DoctorChair of curious ideasCutestStamp 3 of 5 · “煤球” by 1412713197
“煤球, by 1412713197, is proof that charm needs no grand gesture — this little one won my heart the moment it drifted past. Utterly, irresistibly darling.”
The Coral CuratorKeeper of beauty & charmFunniestStamp 4 of 5 · “코랄” by Anonymous
“코랄 got a genuine laugh out of this puffer, and I laugh with fish, never at artists. Whoever drew it swam off without signing in — come back, the comedy reef misses you already.”
