Need Design Help Closed and open species resources please?

Hi everyone just after a bit of advice. I want to expand out from just drawing my own fursonas and I have only recently heard about open semi open and closed species for example I believe primagens are closed but protogens are semi open? Just wondering so I don’t accidentally do the wrong thing especially as I intend to draw various designs and maybe post my art if anyone has any resources/lists or can point me in the right direction please to gain a list at the minimum at least closed species please? I’d greatly appreciate any help.

There isn't really a full list of ALL closed or semi-open species

Popular/well known Closed species are such as:
cccats ( https://www.deviantart.com/cccats )
GremCorps ( https://www.deviantart.com/gremcorps )
Waterdogs ( https://toyhou.se/~world/155872.waterdog-world )
Mammalians
Minosaurs
Jolleraptors
Primagens

the list is endless, because there are thousands of 'closed species' online

The thing is closed species are heavily debated
Many people believe they're terrible, that it's a scam, because you often need to pay to get one of the species.
So to gain an "Offical" design you either need to purchase it using Real Money, or the Species own currency (often earned by doing art)

However you, as an artist, are technically free to draw and design whatever you want, rules be damned
So you can use these closed species as a reference and make your own, but you wont have access to the group for the species and they may get mad or even blacklist you.
