Headshot is just fine. Most pictures are only headshots. Here's the description. It is a full body description, but you do just as much as you are willing.
This character is an elf, but his ears would probably not be quite as pointed and elongated as the night elves you drew. They'd still be noticeably non-human, though.
Cirdan is slightly under average height for an elf, and is also slightly more heavily set. He has shaved off his hair, leaving only a fine brown stubble behind. He is dark skinned for an elf , coming close to the color of an Egyptian or Indian, in our world. Cirdan is primarily defined by two features, both of which relate primarily to his skin. The first is that he is covered in scars, some fine and some very heavy. The second one is that he has been tattooed many times, mostly in different tribal patterns. These are primarily on his arms and torso, although there is one on his face. This tattoo is a tribal circle, about equivalent to a hand in diameter. It starts just above his right brow, and goes up into his hairline. Most of the intricate work on the tattoo is inside the circle, but there is some patterns on the outside of the circle as well. (I don't really have any exact specifications for how the tattoo looks, so long as it is fairly large and looks tribal. If you want to change it, you may).
His most notable scar is something that looks like three claw-marks that cross over his face from his left temple to the right side of his jaw. These have damaged both of his eyes, leaving them covered in a cloudy white film. For an elf , Cirdan is incredibly heavy set and muscular. He is still lighter on his feet than most human, dwarf, or orc opponents, and most of his muscle is dense rather than bulky, giving him a deceptively thin frame underneath his clothes. Cirdan customarily wears a modest combination of light pants and long sleeved shirt, usually in shades of brown. He wears tall, well worn boots suitable for long distance travel, and also often has a floppy-brimmed hat nearby. He is also always seen wearing a sash of various colors that binds around his waist.
