Wait a sec.
MangaStudio 4 (Comic Studio in Japan) and MangaStudio 5 (Clip Studio Paint Pro) are two completely different things.
Almost absolutely different.
This method won't work in Clip Studio Paint.

Here what you should do:
1. You need to draw that piece of chain on gray layer or convert layer with piece of chain into gray (right click on layer and select "convert layer(H)")

2. Select chain and push "Edit" -> "Register Image as material". In Material property window check "use for brush tip shape". And Save your newly made brush tip in folder there you can easily find it. (Better start a new folder with your custom brush tips.)

3. In side tool panel choose "Decoration" (twinkly stars icon). In sub tool window choose, for example, "Cloth pattern" (small hat icon). There will be already "Gold chain" brush in bottom of list.
But we need brush which will react on color you choose. So take as example "Braided rope" brush. Right click and choose "Duplicate sub tool". Name your new brush as you wish.

4. Next step - push little wrench icon in "tool properties" window (it should be in down right corner of tool properties window). You should see "Sub tool details".
Choose "Brush tip" category. See that "Tip shape-Circle-Material" option? We must do the same.
Push that upside triangle near braided rope brush tip. It will open "Select brush tip shape" window.
Find your newly made chain.

Ta-daaa! Done. You made your chain brush in MS5/Clip Studio Paint.

I hope it's understandable

AH! I see.. as you can tell, I'm still very very new to ANYTHING MangaStudio, as I'm still trying to understand the learning curve of it all. (And I know there's multiple versions, like Pro and EX) The making of custom brushes is something I've not tried yet, so this will be some fun trips in experimentation.

Thanks for the reply/info!

I see.
I can imagine how much fun you will have when you find out
what perspective and symmetrical rulers are

You are welcome and good luck in your art

Oh yes, I was told about the ruler function and I played with that a bit recently.. and it's seriously one of the most useful functions in a program I've seen. Cuts the drawtime for making emblems/symmetrical patterns/etc. in half! And doesn't make one side look all lopsided than the other. XD;

And thank you! You've got some great stuff yourself! Love the DnD/fantasy themed stuff. :3

Oh. That could be pain in ass.
If we are talking about how to make it in Manga Studio 4 here are solutions:
1. make seamless patch of scales and save pattern as tone material. Quite hard to do but not impossible.
2. draw one scale, select it and save as brush material.
Something like this

Not so genius

It's works the same in Manga Studio 3!
MS3 and MS4 almost identical.
I used a LOT MS3 before.

Думаю да.
Всё дело таких кисточек угадать с начальным узором.
Можно сделать просто миллион плюс один вариант ленточного петтерна.
Единственная проблема: это на поворотах дуги.
Можно научить кисть реагировать размером на нажим, но вот самостоятельно повернуться - к сожалению нет.

Method is the same... steps are different.
Manga Studio 4 and Manga Studio 5 are two completely different softwares. It's not like PS4 and PS5.

You need to register that shape as new material and make sure that you checked "Use for brush tip shape" in "material property"
Next duplicate existing brush from "decoration" brushes and change its tip in "Tool settings"
