Bio:

Jodie Azhar is a Video Games Technical Animator. Her job mostly involves rigging 3D digital characters, scripting animation tools for 3D software, fixing things and moving arbitary points in virtual space.

She has three other passions in life - drawing, music and video games.

She is also rather partial to comics and animations. Her favourite Graphic Novel series is 'The Sandman' by Neil Gaiman, who also happened to have written her favourite novel 'Good Omens' with the also great Terry Pratchett.

If there is one video game that she wishes that she'd worked on it would probably be Monster Hunter, by Capcom.

What is tangentine?

Tangentine is home to the artwork and animations of Jodie Azhar.
Apparently tangentine is a cross between a tangerine and a clementine, but that's only according to the internet and who believes that anyway.

In fact it's a bit more like talking about one thing and then suddenly changing subject.
Tangentine is not a real word, however, tangential is. Perhaps this website is like that.
