Erin Layne Interview - Page Two |

GB: Have you had a chance to try Bloodlines yet? If so, what were your impressions of the in-game version of Jeanette? She's an... interesting character, to say the least ;).
Erin: I have not! Bad, bad, bad...I know. I'm on a Mac, still without a PC at my disposal. It's very frustrating. A friend tells me he's in the process of building one for me, though. Won't turn that down!
GB: I understand that you have quite a bit of experience with role-playing games. How long have you been interested in RPGs and have you had a chance to try out the tabletop version of White Wolf's Vampire: the Masquerade?
Erin: I've been role-playing for roughly as long as I've been online...nearly ten years. While I have dabbled in tabletop Vampire and a few other choice games, the majority of my RP experience has been with webchat and MU* forums on the internet. More storytelling, less die-rolling.
GB: How about other tabletop RPGs like Werewolf: the Apocalypse, Shadowrun, or Dungeons & Dragons?
Erin: Yes. All of those. Heheh. As well as Call of Cthulhu, Star Wars...
I play Werewolf online, currently (well, when I find the time...which is rare nowadays...). GarouMUSH.
GB: Do you ever find time to play any PC or console games (RPG or otherwise)? If so, any favorites you'd like to elaborate on?
Erin: Mmm...I have my favorites, but rarely have time to dedicate to video games anymore. In the past few years, American McGee's Alice, Diablo II and Vampire: the Masquerade - Redemption swallowed hours and hours of my life. On the consoles, the Silent Hill games have won my heart in their own twisted way--I'm currently foraging through Silent Hill IV: The Room, by myself. Bit by bit. Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem also made me very happy... I'm sorry to learn they decided not to make the sequel. If there's ever a film adaptation, I simply MUST be Alex! ;}
GB: Do you typically look for modeling work in any type of setting, or do you actively seek gothic-oriented projects?
Erin: I'll accept almost any type of modeling work if it's paid, as long as it's tasteful...and I'm not currently posing nude. I can easily change my look so that it's more mainstream. But my interest lies with the 'alternative' side of the industry, where collaborations are much darker and edgier...that's always been my taste, and I'm certain it always will be.
GB: Any upcoming modeling jobs you can tell us about? Would you be interested in doing more work in the video game industry if the opportunity presented itself?
Erin: I've been busy with several different photo-shoots over the past couple months, and have a number of others coming up. I've been modeling regularly for Lip Service, which just so happens to be my favorite clothing company (nice how that works). I've always got my paws in one endeavor or another, and am constantly collaborating with photographers and other models who are expanding their own portfolios. It's ongoing. Nothing currently quite as big as the Bloodlines thing, but even that seems never-ending in the way other projects and opportunities spring from it.
We'd like to issue our thanks to Erin for taking the time to answer our questions! To learn more about her (and to check out even more of her modeling pictures), stop by her Yahoo! Group when you get a chance.
