Here be the question:

So I'm considering restarting the lolwars project, but the thing is, I'm currently in a strange scenario in which I don't know what to do for art. You see, should I do sprites, or drawings like it was originally going to be, here are the ups and downs:

Sprites:
^ Look cool and retro, set the game apart in the art department, really.
^ Would make the game run faster, on flash, sprites have a tendency to require less of the system.
- Would be smaller units. 
v I don't know how to sprite, I'll need to get somebody to sprite for me.
v Sprites are a bit harder to work with.
v Sprites lead to larger files (as I heard.)

Drawing:
^ Would be how the game was supposed to be originally.
^ Look smoother, easier to animate.
^ Would be a quicker load.
- Would be larger units
v I'm not the best with a mouse.
v Would make a laggier game.

I am considering maybe do one game with drawings, and a future game with sprites, then whatever one turns out better, I'll stick with.
