Here's what happens when you let a software engineer loose with ArtRage 6 and the script engine....
You get a Mandelbrot Set, painted with paint daubs by a script which I've hacked around with.
I've attached the script for your amusement... Select a tool which produces vivid but reasonably small dots for a small daub, before running the script. The attached version was done with the water color brush, 10% size, dark blue, set to high pressure and loading and medium thinners. A smaller brush would give better definition of the set but a less painted look.
