New ship sprites

[cbrld]

Hello, decided to give a try for more fiitting ship sprites

[Atreides]

Very nice. They actually seem to have more of the wesnoth style than the current core ones. Those are highly realistic looking while these have more of the "feel" of wesnoth units.

[Heindal]

Yeah, they look nice.

[Kapiork]

They also "feel" bigger, which is good, given Wesnoth's non-existent scaling.

Aye, they are nice and plump and curvy.

Only problem with ships is this that when they are on water hex they look like they sink, they are in half of sprite under the water. It would be good if in unit text file was an option to show unit sprite over the water or inside it.

You can show it over the water by putting flying=yes inside the ship's [unit_type] tag. Or you can put it inside the water by adding something like submerge=0.15 (or whatever value looks good) inside each of the [frame] tags within its [unit_type].

These are really nice! Though the thick black outlines make it feel a bit stiff. I got inspired to try my hand at a paint over to loosen up the line work a bit, hope you don't mind!

Sorry I forgot about this thread. These were also posted on Github, and the boat.png sprite is going in once animations are done. https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/pull/9616

There is more work on a bigger ship here: https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/pull ... 2525386545

The galleon.png could still be fair game, but I'd also say we could use some more "race variety" : orc, elf, saurian, etc. I don't know that there is a strong need for a saurian boat (for example), but if someone showed creativity and effort to create a decent sprite, it could be a nice addition.

Finally something for pirates to play with! Should make a whole faction, where
the pirate leader also has a wooden leg and a cheeky parrot.
