Soldier-goblin is small because I very specifically wanted to draw Tedd holding them.

That's it. That's the explanation.

When I wrote the previous page, I just wanted to show some of Tedd and Jay's match. There's only so much meaningful conversation they can have with so many people around (Tensaided overhearing Tedd being a case in point), so I was mostly interested in showing a little of the match for fun, and with showing Jay's reaction to Tedd's deck.

Then this somehow happened.

I just wanted to draw a goblin inspired by how I've seen some goblins drawn, and that specific choice resulted in Jay getting additional insight into Tedd.

As I've no doubt commented before, things sometimes just sort of work out that way when writing.
