I've posted my 3rd critique, and I hope everyone likes it. It took quite a while...

This shirt rules, but how does this fit under the 5 color limit? If you look at it closely, there're way more than 5...

So, I just posted a design critique, and I'm not getting much feedback. I'm putting a good emount of time and effort into it, so please look at it, and if you you hate it, or love it, or don't care, at least leave a comment to explain why. It would help me a lot to understand what I can improve on in the future. Thanks
By the way, the two critiques I have posted are called "A Storm Brews" and "Fez"

First of all, just to clarify, do black and white count as part of your 5 color limit?
Also, I'm trying to make sure I have everything ready to submit an idea for a shirt: besides the thumbnail, what are the specific requirements for the image we submit to be critiqued? It has to be 640x480, but is that the space where we put the artwork, or variations of the artwork on a shirt, or what? And lastly, can't we design directly onto a shirt? By that I mean, can the original artwork just be the image on the t-shirt template, rather than say a picture by itself, then taken and imposed onto a shirt, or modified to fit onto a shirt?

I'm was just slightly confused by the official guidlines.
Thank you.
