I’d like to make some brushes that emulate zbrush ones like Dami Standard or snakehook.

You can create custom tools in Nomad (clone an original, then tweak it \> save). By tampering with Stroke menu and boosting intensities to high levels, you can create a wide wide variety with an array of effects and how they interact with the mesh - and that’s before any Alpha’s are used, load those in as well, and you can get some wild effects with custom tools. It’s worth having a play.
