Yeah the technical stuff is all a learning process but the vision and aesthetic
sense is the important thing - I remember reading in the early pixar days they
hired mostly on understanding of animation to express lifelike movement more
than tech expertise - likewise our game graphics are going to depend on charm,
detail and atmosphere rather than being totally cutting edge lifelike
graphically... :) so yep...!

you shouldn't!
I'm not an artist but I think you are really talented and all thats lacking
is the real world exp - the little things - such as knowing to center a
model, re-use textures if possible, stuff like that.
Your talent is there which is the big thing, the other little things are
easily learned and will be as we continue to move forward.
Eric and I have said to eachother a bunch of times "man Katie is really doin
a great job" but we just never told you before hehe :P
you have nothin to worry about you are doing great (:
