[[Image:Cleaver info page.png|thumb|right|A pirate info page, showing the pirate's portrait at the center]]
'''Portraits''' are in-game paintings any player can purchase at any [[building]] or [[ship]] with a portrait easel in it.  Easels can always be found inside [[palace]]s, in the first room to the right.  Prices vary depending on the background chosen and the number of people in the portrait, and as they tend to be relatively expensive, portraits serve as a major [[PoE sink]].  Portraits can be displayed in pirate [[info page]]s or viewed in player galleries.

== Commissioning a portrait ==
[[Image:Set up your portrait interface.png|thumb|right|Selecting an easel brings up the "set up your portrait" interface.]]
Clicking on an easel brings up the "set up your portrait" interface, where the pirate is allowed to select the portrait background and pirate alignment (for expansive backgrounds), and name the portrait. The pirate must then pay the portrait commission cost and [[doubloon]] fee (on doubloon oceans) to move on to posing for the portrait. Both the [[PoE]] and doubloon prices vary depending on the background and pirate alignment selected (see the [[Background#Single Portraits|background]] article for details). If the pirate later decides to cancel the portrait, he/she will receive a full refund.
[[Image:Pose for the portrait interface.png|thumb|left|The "pose for the portrait interface" lets players customize their portrait pose.]]
Once the portrait commission cost has been paid, the pirate will continue to the "pose for the portrait" interface. Other pirates may now join the portrait by clicking on the same easel (in the case of multiple-pirate backgrounds), and all pirates in the portrait may choose their facial expressions and to hold an [[portrait item|item]]. Additional prints of the portrait may also be ordered (the cost also depending on the background and alignment, with a fee of 7 doubloons each). '''Note that by default, all pirates joining the portrait will have 1 additional print selected,  provided that they have enough PoE (and doubloons, if on a doubloon ocean) on hand to purchase a copy''', and that the number of final portraits produced will be equal to the number of additional prints ''plus'' the original portrait itself. Once all the pirates in the portrait select the ready checkbox, the option to generate a preview of the portrait will be enabled. After this, the final painting may be ordered.<!--Someone please expand this - I don't know how multiple-pirate portraits are finally painted-->

After the portrait is created, the commissioning pirate and those who ordered prints will receive a portrait (or more, depending on prints ordered) in the portraits section of their [[inventory]]. These items will not [[decay]]; nor will [[#Framing portraits|framed portraits]].{{fn|1=http://forums.puzzlepirates.com/community/mvnforum/viewthread?p=401808#401808}} They can, however, be [[trash]]ed.

[[Image:Portrait inventory.png|thumb|right|A pirate may edit his/her gallery through the portrait's item menu in the booty panel.]]
All portraits in a pirate's inventory can be viewed in that pirate's gallery, which others may access through the pirate's [[info page]], or directly through the URL ''<nowiki>http://OCEAN.puzzlepirates.com/yoweb/gallery/?pirate=PIRATE</nowiki>'', where ''OCEAN'' is the ocean the gallery is in and ''PIRATE'' is the name of the pirate. The gallery view of the portrait will show the portrait with its title, the name(s) of the pirate(s) in the portrait, and captions added by the gallery owner. The date the portrait was commissioned, as well as the location of the easel and the governor of the island or pirate at the helm of a ship at sea are also automatically saved and displayed. If the portrait is of a single pirate, a "flip over" link will show the pirate's [[experience]], [[standing]]s and [[crew]] and [[flag]] membership at the time the portrait was commissioned.

A pirate may edit his/her gallery through the [[item menu]] brought up when selecting a portrait in the booty panel. Here the pirate may add captions to portraits, arrange the order in which they appear, or select one single-pirate portrait of him/herself to be displayed in his/her info page. 

[[Captain]]s may select a portrait to show on their crew's info page.  [[Monarch]]s may select a portrait to show on their flag's info page.  Crew and flag info pages can only display group portraits.

== Portrait Fees & Number of Pirates ==

The cost and number of pirates that may be in a portrait depend on the size of the background.  Limited Edition portrait backgrounds are generally single portraits, but there have also been some that were other sizes.  The doubloon fee, in addition to the PoE fee, is only charged on doubloon (green) oceans.  Subscriber oceans only pay the PoE fee.

There is no background size specifically for three pirates but the expansive size may be used and standing spaces left unfilled.

The current list of the different background sizes and fee information can also be found in the [[background|background article]].

== Clothing ==
{{main|Portrait clothing}}

When a portrait is commissioned, each pirate is shown in the [[clothing]] he or she is currently wearing. (However, portraits cannot be made while the pirate is trying on clothes from a [[tailor]]'s [[rack]].)   The colors of the clothes are reproduced in the portrait.  If the pirate is wearing a [[familiar]], that is also shown.

== Skin and Hair ==
{{main|Portrait skin and hair}}

The colors of pirates' [[Portrait skin and hair|skin and hair]] are reproduced in the portrait as well as any [[injury|injuries]].

== Items ==
{{main|Portrait item}}
A pirate can hold a single [[portrait item]] or choose to hold nothing at all.  Items are only available if the pirate meets the criteria necessary for it.  Some items exist but can only be held by [[Ocean Master]]s at this time.

== Backgrounds ==
{{main|Background}}
The pirate commissioning a portrait may choose from a variety of [[Background#Single_Portraits| portrait backgrounds]].  The background determines how many pirates can be in the portrait and in what arrangement.

== Poses ==
{{main|Portrait pose}}
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 pocket.  Some [[bludgeon]]s require both hands.  If no item is chosen, then the pirate's clothing determines the [[portrait pose]].

== Pets ==
{{main|Portrait pet}}
Pirates have the option of including a single [[pet]] in their portrait.

== Familiars and Injuries ==
[[Familiar]]s and [[injuries]] also show up in portraits. However, familiars and injuries belonging to female pirates, for the most part, look different than those belonging to males. 

=== Disappearing and Hidden Injuries ===
Any pirate holding a [[Portrait_item#Two-handed_Bludgeons| two-handed bludgeon]] will always be drawn with two uninjured hands even if they have a hook injury. The female gown completely conceals both feet; this, of course, hides any pegleg injury as well. Likewise, the diving helmet and some [[mask]]s completely conceal the face and thus any eyepatch or starfish injury.

''Note: Any peg-legged pirate wearing fancy boots will have their pegleg colored in the colors of the boot; male peg-legged pirates wearing boots with gaiters will have their pegleg colored grey; female peg-legged pirates wearing curled slippers will have their pegleg colored gold.''

== Framing portraits ==
A pirate may choose to frame a portrait by buying a framed portrait [[furniture]] item at a [[furnisher]]. When placing an order, the pirate will be required to place the portrait in the ordering interface. The portrait will then be removed from the pirate's inventory, and will no longer be viewable from his/her gallery. The resulting furniture object, when placed in a [[scene]], will provide an option to "view" the portrait, which will directly link to the portrait's page.  Note that captions on framed portraits will be cut off after 250 characters.

== Free portraits ==
A pirate can get a free portrait from the 'Get yer portrait painted' [[mission]]. This portrait can only have one pirate in it, must use the Sandy [[Background#Single_Portraits|background]], and cannot feature held [[portrait item|items]]. Additional prints of this portrait cost 5000 [[PoE]] and 7 doubloons. Each pirate may commission one free portrait; the free portrait cannot be framed, although any purchased copies can be framed.

== Trophies ==
{{spoiler|trophies|content=
The daffodil [[trophy]] is related to portraits:
<gallery caption="Portrait Trophies" widths="60px" heights="60px" perrow="7">
Image:Trophy-Daffodil.png|Daffodil
</gallery>
}}

== Historical Notes ==
In {{release|2008-12-16}}, monkeys in male portraits were modified so that their arm no longer passed through their pirate's head if he was wearing certain clothing items. This applies to portraits painted from this date only - old portraits remained unchanged.

[[Funny glasses]] returned for April Fool's Day 2008.

Prior to {{release|2008-02-05}}, a pirate had to purchase clothing before getting the free portrait mission.

Free portraits were added in {{release|2006-10-17}}.

Portraits made during the [[2006 Halloween events]] featured the pirate as a ghostly form, as they appeared in-game.

On [[2006 Rumble release events|April Fool's Day 2006]], pirates who had purchased the [[funny glasses]] could get portraits featuring them. This is still an option, but as all un-protected pairs of funny glasses dusted after 24 hours, the only ones left are those that had been [[Present|gift-wrapped]] since then.

Portraits made during the first portion of the [[2005 Halloween events]] featured the mask associated with that hat type in-game. (For example, a portrait taken while wearing a wide-brimmed hat would have a witch mask) Portraits in the second portion featured that person's Zombiefied features and traits. (Black hair, colored skin, and expression of hunger for braiiiiiins)

Prior to {{release|2005-09-01}}, a portrait made while trying on clothing from a tailor's rack would feature ''those'' clothes instead of the ones the pirate is actually wearing. This is no longer the case.
