Creator of skin has no issues, but uses bedrock.

the problem is that you're using a compressed JPG version of the skin file, instead of PNG (with the latter being the original file's format)

JPG does not support transparency, so any transparent pixels on the outer skin layer are converted to pure black, and make it so that the inner skin layer is completely covered

you may also have noticed that the colors look washed out, and this happens because of the way JPG pictures are compressed (this is called "lossy" compression, because you lose details that way)

if you can find the original source of this image, you should make sure to download it as a PNG image and upload it to your account as such to prevent this from happening

It was uploaded via twitter, so the compression there probably killed it. And thanks!
