I agree, that the drawing does need to end somewhere, and especially
with ascii art some things do need to be implied. However, I find
that larger pictures are relatively easier to draw than smaller ones.
(Though the larger pictures can take a long time to do!)
It takes more imagination and talent to make a sig sized picture 
recognisable, whereas the larger the picture the easier it is to
control where the lines go. As you get larger, you have less conflicts
where characters are competing for space.

I have a lot more admiration for the smaller works of llizard and the
like and little to none for ummmm shall we say Lester5374 for example.

But don't get me wrong, you do have some fine work Zeus (If large).
I just prefer the smaller pictures.
