He is Moosejaw, he lifts for a well-known circus, and he hails from backwoods Minnesota.
Backstory
Moosejaw was born, and soon became a very large man. By the time he was 20 he could lift three times his body weight, was over 7 feet tall. He soon ate his mother and father out of house and home, so he left and joined the circus, where he wore a flannel onesie thing when he performed.
His beard is over 3 feet long, and he can juggle chainsaws.

Shading notes:
- The shading is very subtle. Contrast it more so it looks better. Subtle shading is good in some aspects, but overall a contrasted skin that isn't TOO contrasted, will be widely more accepted. Take a look at Leostereo and then take a look at Roobus(They use different colors but still you can notice the contrast almost looks 2 too much or so etc.)
- The colors are fairly white. Saturation shading is not the best form of shading unless it's for curves like a Roobus styled skin. Since you are not using it to add a curve to the skin, there is no need for the saturation shading. Learn to Hue shift a skin, so using the Hue(H) when shading and changing it. the_soup has a great tutorial on this located here:
http://www.planetminecraft.com/blog/tutorial-palettes-and-hue-shifting/
Knoble has some great theories on colors here:
http://www.planetminecraft.com/blog/1000-subscriber-special-color-theory-101-hue-shifting-palettes-and-stuff/
Lastly. Roobus has some words on curves throughout all his blogs posted. Learn from them, they are helpful:

Now onto the idea itself:
- A redneck lifter is not common. It has no popular connotations with the Circus theme apart from it actually being a lifter.
-- Also it doesn't look like a stereotypical "redneck"
- The beard looks very awkward from the sides
- Green eyes are extremely uncommon. They're a mutation just like blue eyes. Usually it is seen that people with darker hair will have a darker shade in the eyes. When I say this I do not say it as a fact or trend, I say it as a usual association. A blonde person per say, would immediately be assumed blue eyes usually and a person with black hair, black eyes or brown etc. etc. yada yada, I stress too much on this point in case of argument.
Now that's a lot there and with those alone you can improve. If you want more advice from better skinners. Literally PM them. I'm 100% sure Knoble can find time if you PM him or any of the top skinners who won like ScarletBox and etc. etc. Just make sure you're learning where they learned and listen to what they say. It may be mean, or seem harsh. But if it is harsh, take it as them being honest with you and hoping you change instead of leaving you to stay at this level and progress slower.
Harsh comments are constructive no matter what, unless they are extremely vague or powered by personal vengence.
That is all. Good luck. Good improving. Goodbye :)

EDIT: This might come in handy- http://www.planetminecraft.com/blog/how-not-to-shade-arms-and-legs/
For the first section, yep, i see all that
Second, also makes sense.
Third, i've actually been in correspondance with Knoble about shading and colors, and he's helping out a bunch. I'm going to put a lot of effort into colors from now on.
Yepyepyep, thanks
