When commissioning a portrait, the pirate's portrait pose will be determined by either the pirate's portrait item or clothing. If a pirate is holding an item, it will usually be in the pirate's right hand, and the left arm will be by the pirate's side or placed in a jacket pocket. A few of the bludgeons are held in both hands. If no item is chosen, then the pirate's upper-body clothing determines the pose.
