This is just the early stages. But I will try to get a better one up as well. Really want to get this kind of thing in the game, obviously it would be a much better and Sea of thieves looking version. But John asked for a concept art, here it is! Also, the Ducky would probably be a bit bigger. I will try to get some early stage oh other ship customization's as well.
Ducky Sails Suggestion! From Todays Dev Stream!
@enginefear Loving the "early stages" concept art here matey!
Hopefully, @BIGsheep sees this as I'm sure he will be excited to see them!

Really hope to see this idea added
You can have this one for free if it helps us along :)
I like the idea, you seem a little defensive. (I'am, one of the good guys! )
'The Dirty Duck'.... possibly a variant on your idea.
@piratecraggy naw, just really like this game and truly believe humor belongs in it. Ducky ship customizations would be great! Also if they did an entire line of customizations, duck mug, ducky figurehead, tattoo, etc
I'm with you, count me as recruited!
As I say, I love this stuff... anything which brightens the day, is a nod or a wink, & can raise a smile... I'm well up for.
Life is too short... Ducks make it better!Captain 'Ducky' Hook?
It's a bit too stylised... & requires to be more vectored in format.Anyhow.... just to get the ball rolling.
Join in with your suggestions All.... to make this happen!@BIGsheep is watching.
Let see if we can move it along!The Eye patch is there also ... over the right eye... lol.
Just a quick stock image on that one.Help @enginefear original idea come to reality
Seriously though..... anyone out there... pop up Your design.
Ducks... boats... everything, it was asked for on Stream.Might only be fun... roll with it... it might happen!
Haha these posts about duck sails reminds me of a picture I made for the Fo'Rum a few years back.
I dove into the treasure chest that is my IMGUR account and found it.
Enjoy. quack

@pikaaroon I will try to draw up a better design when I have more time. I am looking for something a bit more subtle and Sea of Thieves like, kinda like the Bilge Rat, but its own new customization Line.

Nothing wrong with the initial concept! But interested to see what you come up with.
I love ducks and so having cosmetics for the ship, our pirates or even one day a pet would be welcome haha
@PirateCraggy - thanks matey, over the years I've made some strange images for the community and you lot got me reminiscing haha so thanks for that.

I agree... it simply fits the nature of the game.
It's daft, shouldn't make sense... but actually, it does completely.
Love this.... as a community we can make it so.Captains orders.....
@duck-its-ducky
Certainly.. if there was anyone who deserved & needed 'Ducky Sails' it is you Sir!
Love a set myself... would be great to see a whole server sailing as a "Ducky Armada".
Just need a version that fits the SoT art-style, I'm never good myself recreating styles.
But I might pop something together if I get the inspiration, to help it along.We are a creative lot... please pop up your own take.
edit.
If nothing else.
It would great if this could lead to the first community designed or 'inspired' sail.
Obviously the all the hard work to be completed by the Dev's.I know... should be interesting to see if they have a part to play in the Lore or not? :)

They are pretty cool.
My four ducklings turned out to all be drakes (male ducks) which kind of ruined my plans of harvesting duck eggs. lolUnfortunately the ducks would round up my chickens and pack r**e them. It's true.
I never knew it to be possible but I explained it once to an elderly lady at the park we both walked our dogs to and she said it was common for that to happen and made me feel that it was perhaps common knowledge.We live near the bush so we also get the local scrub turkey jumping our six foot fence to have a feed and a chicken s**g. The ducks didn't like that but there wasn't a pair of balls between the four of them. lol
I gave away the two main offenders but my other two drakes were getting worse.
A brown snake eventually took care of one of them and the other had gape worm his entire life which I was treating him for but after 5 years or so it finally caught up and took his life. :/If anyone wants to have a duck IRL as a pet may I suggest only getting one. It will follow you to Earth's end but as soon as you get two or more they tend to shy away to be with their own kind. Also keep them away from your chickens... unless you want chucks or is it dickens?
To tell a male from a female, the male (drake) will have a few top tail feathers curl up. Unfortunately when I got my ducks they were newly hatched ducklings without actual feathers, too young to determine gender.
Funny story @admiral-rrrsole, my love for ducks actually comes from having a pet duck for some time.
His name was Augustus the Duck (Gus for short) and he was the best.
He was my alarm clock.
He was my body duck.
He would untie my shoes but never do them back up.
He pooped a lot...We had to give him to a friend with a farm/pond as we moved to a place that wasn't very suited to duck life.
That's cool mate. Your post made me smile. Cheers.
For the life of me I can only think of two of their names. The two I kept were named Pharlap, after the great Aussie racehorse because of his speed as a duckling. That's the one that had gape worm.
The other I named Katana (after the Suzuki Katana motorcycles) as being a duck meant he was a "quacker" which is the common nickname for Kawasaki (kwacka) motorcycles. Confusing I know, but a fun play on words. :o)
