You can move to Africa. They can have several wives there.

There are three methods I use most frequently (I'm sure there are more, these are just mine!).
I use photoshop, so it may vary if you use another program!
Here's what I do to achieve the look you linked to in your PM:
- I fill the area with a solid color
- Then I select the area I wish to fill with the magic wand tool
- I create a new layer
- I then fill it with the full color gradient (still just that area selected)
- Then I cut that area out (Ctrl X or Ctrl C - I use X so it removes it from the layer, but keeps the layer intact)
- I paste it into a new document (Ctrl N)
- Convert it an Indexed Colored Image (Local (perceptive))
- I usually use 5-8 colors (you have to play with it to achieve the right look/feel)
- Select the dither type (noise, pattern or diffuse)
That's all there is to it!
The other methods ...
I do sometimes have to do them by hand. Like, for instance, if the angle is off or the space is too small, etc. That's a painstaking process which, unfortunately just takes time and practice to do it right!
Another method I use is to select the area I want to affect. Fill it with one of the end values (the lightest or darkest color I wish to use in the gradient). Then I use a large paint brush set to "dissolve" with a flow of about 2-5% and just layer in the other colors. This one also takes time and practice but you'll get the hang of it!
You've got the skill, that's for sure!
Let me know if you have any questions and happy dithering
