I don't know if these count since I thought these are interesting they're basically humans mixed with fish DNA, and It saddens me that this artist basically accused another artist of stealing/tracing one of her original characters hair style or something on VK and a Twitter callout post.
The artist's name is v1v404, I still like their art tbh.View attachment 1454745
And here are the prices for these closed species custom adopts:

[MYO common : 15$]
[MYO semi-mutated : 25$]
[MYO mutated : 35$]

I honestly like that the prices for these are more cheaper than the ones on this thread. I would honestly buy one, but I don't have my own credit card.

At least the artstyle is cute, and the designs aren't peculiarly eyebleeding.

Just ask your bank for a debit card (assuming you have a checking account, which as an adult you should). You don't even need to apply for it, and you won't run the risk of screwing yourself over by impulsively buying drawings of imaginary animals and running up debt you can't afford.

Thanks for the advice btw, I always forget about my bank account that's the amusing part. Anyways, let's talk more about closed species and how overpriced most of them are. I'll still look around Deviantart for some more awful ones, if I can find any that is.

I've already got my own Loch Ness inspired creature, thanks. I wouldn't even pay DA Points for this.

Earlier today, I was thinking about how uninspired CS artists are. Get A and B, smack 'em together and "that'll be $100".

This design in particular is too unoriginal to monetise, let alone claim any sort of intellectual property. Someone could design they own Loch Ness inspired character that looks similar after the CS was published. The artist could use that against an innocent artist who's genuinely ignorant and get shut down for it.

The artist has skill with drawing but not so much with creativity.

yet another closed species that's just satyrs

at least they're more interesting than dainties I guess? I feel like there's a lot of satyr closed species though

Unlike Dainties, at least they have actual lore and interesting designs. Some of them are busy, but they look much better than sock-wearing femboy satyrs.

My complaints are that the designs are too busy to focus on.
The bottom left one has a massive chin.
The snake one looks like his legs are about to snap.
The first one has its eyes blend in with the design so they're not really noticeable.

I could point out more flaws but I'm too tired and the critique would just fall on deaf ears in the end.

That's pretty cheap honestly. And I like that. What's sad is that I could make a more original closed species.

The cheaper way to get one would be to make a lochness character and not pay someone for the idea of making a nessiesona when they aren't even making you the art.

At sad thing is the biggest closed species sadly take so heavily from mythology and real life that none of them appear original or have interesting lore to build off of.

I looked this up and it turns out this is just one of the many closed species inhabiting a fantasy world. Another one of those species was this snapdragon dragon.

It's no surprise tbh. Mythology and folklore are easy/go-to starters to draw inspiration from. It's the oversaturated market with the lack of a solid foundation like lore and worldbuilding that makes them unoriginal, repetitive, sad. Said it here before and I'll say it again, most budding artists just make """"original characters donut steel"""" adoptables, slap a """"original species"""" on top of it and call it a day. It's like writing a scholarly paper of a single subject and only regurgitating what previous papers had already wrote.
 
None of these closed species actually show a reason for them to exist. There is no backstory or anything to these species (e.g. what did they evolve from?? what ecological niches they take advantage of??). Had they actually been real they probably would have became extinct due to other species competing with them. They could probably make the species more unique and copyright-able by actually creating a tree of species that lead to its creation and taking into account the environment they are from.

That would require actual effort and thought process (and probably a much higher level of art skill too), so the vast majority are just 'here's an animal/cryptid/mythological beast I like, but I added ribbons and sparkles'.
 
I think a lot of the stigma around closed species wouldn't exist if they were purely adoptables - that is, someone buys a character for their design and can do whatever they want with them, with no pressure to conform to a species' arbitrary rules nor any fear that the creator will revoke the buyer's ownership of the design. The inflated prices for what is essentially a recolor of a cryptid is off putting but at least up front.
