I suggest RWIC [github.com] which is what most skin artists use.

Thank you, I'll try it!

I want to finalize my Rust skin listing, but the thumbnail is just the doorhandle. How to I change it to the door like all the other listings? So people can actually see the design.

I can't find anyone else online with this problem. Thank you!

I have the same issue with some items, but you shouldn't change it. Read the developer's site by clicking the workshop for rust, then learn more, but here is a direct link.

And the words state, "We politely ask that you keep your thumbnail as the default generated thumbnail, but ultimately we're unable to enforce this."

So I wouldn't do it, and no one cares about the thumbnail. People click the item by their voting queue, which is randomly generated for them, or some may look in the workshop in the game section, but thumbnails don't matter as long as you can see the skin on the item. 

Some people load the skins in the Rust Workshop in the game it self and can see them that way too. 

I've created 700 skins so far, and some of my thumbnails aren't right. It sucks, but since people can see the name, they will click it if they like the name, or they will see it when their voting queue sends them that way, or when they click Rust Workshop and see new skins made by clicking most recent.

My wolf skins got a bad thumbnail and a few others.
