    I thought that GIMP supported "image tubes" which I think is exactly what you want. Its where you have a collection of brushes and as you draw with them it splats them down in tube order one after the other. Sometimes, art programs allow you to vary the size and orientation of the splats by a certain random amount every time. See if there is a GIMP extension to do them. I recall somewhere that it could support paint shop pro compatible image tubes. But then I am senile so who knows

    Edit: Ahh not so senile after all...

    Yep, that's what I am trying to do, but looking for something a bit more in depth than what I have been able to find. I have an image pipe with 72 images in it currently, each one corresponding to a 5 degree angular brush direction. But that results in something like this:
