I recently created a skin through the skin creator on Newgrounds.com, which I have used before. I uploaded the skin and went into the game. I went onto an online server and my character was mostly black and parts on the skin were in the wrong places, ie- The torso was on the head. I thought that I had chosen the player model wrong so I tried the other one and it was still messed up. Please help!
Here is the skin:
And this is what it shows up as in game:
Here are eight possible reasons why your skin isn't showing:
online-mode=false. (Set to offline mode; no authentication)char.png file within the minecraft.jar and not uploaded it to your minecraft profile.For #1, you'll just have to wait, and/or restart your game.
For #2, there's nothing you can do.
For #3, buy the game!
For #4, you should consider playing on servers that only allow 'premium'/paid users.
For #5, you should probabally log into http://minecraft.net.
For #6, you'll have to scale it down. Sorry :/ Unless you get the HD skins mod.
For #7, go online!!! (Same goes for your brothers)
For #8, you'll need to be connected to the internet in order to retrieve skins.
For #9, nothing I can say apart from the generic "get better internet" or "clear off your bandwidth by downloading/uploading less (ie. Stop watching YouTube on 4K whilst others are gaming)".
Very likely, based on the information you've stated that your problem is #3.
It's really easy to return from the Alex (3-block-arms-and-leg) model to the Steve (normal) model.
This step is simple enough. Go here: http://minecraft.net/login

By the looks of your texture pack, it seems the game is trying to wrap an 8x8 skin around a 32x32 body. Usually Minecraft would catch that and keep it from contorting, but for an unknown reason it didn't. Try disabling the texture pack, restarting the game, or upload the default Steve skin and re-upload your own. Hope this helped.
EDIT: If all else fails, delete minecraft.jar and re-install.
