I began using Krita some weeks ago, after seeing it mentioned on here, and for some time suspected I preferred it to GIMP, but then when I was unable to get a particular effect/look to my work I switched back to GIMP and now prefer it to Krita.
However, Krita does have a few brushes that GIMP doesn't and I'm trying to find out if I can get something similar.
Unfortunately I don't know what you would call them, or whether they're 'animated', but their icon is a pencil tip and they're used for creating what I think are fractals. As you draw with them, very fine fractals will branch off creating nice wispy patterns. The others just seem to be variations on this.
I browsed the GIMP brushes on deviant art and found a few Fractal Brushes packs, and the previews showed what seemed to be the exact same effect, but when I installed them and went to use them, they're simply pre-rendered stamps of a fractal pattern, rather than a free-hand brush.
This is the kind of thing, but I need the brush to be free-hand rather than pre-defined stamps as these are.
Fractal Brushes
If anyone can offer any advice or links to the sort of thing I'm looking for it would be great.
