If it's as a programmer then you don't need the artistic skills as any decent games company now has teams of dedicated artists and animators thereby allowing us programmer types not to have to bother with that arty stuff anymore ! My artist is a crap programmer and similarly I am a crap artist, unless you are exceptionally talented you rarely get someone who has both skills so if you are going for a programmers job in a games company then they will want proof that you can program. Not that you can draw.
