Jurard T Rexford has been a Vtuber under Cover Corp’s Holostars banner for nearly two and a half years, with 2025 and 2026 marking particularly active periods for the performer. Beyond his regular streaming and cover releases, he contributed to a voice drama streamed for the Angat Buhay initiative. We spoke with him about his recent work and upcoming projects.
New Cover and Outfit: A Timeline of Creation
In April, Jurard released a new cover and unveiled an updated model. He shared details about the timeline and creative process behind these projects.
Jenni Lada: You released both a new cover and shared a new model in April. What did the timeline look like for this, and did the design for the outfit shape your song choice or vice versa?
Jurard T Rexford: The production of the new outfit took months of planning in advance. If I remember correctly, I was already brainstorming concepts around May 2025 for the new outfit direction and what I’d be doing for the course of 2026! That also includes the cover I recently released, ‘Shinigami’, as part of my many projects moving forward.
The reason I wanted to cover ‘Shinigami’ was because of how it tells a story similar to my lore—instead of a god of death, it’s a conflict with my inner demon. I had been planning to sing ‘Shinigami’ as my next cover for a while, so the outfit didn’t impact my song choice. However, it did play a significant role in how I wanted the visuals in ‘Shinigami’ to be presented and how it ties back to my character lore moving forward. With the new vibes, you can also expect future public lore voice packs.
Collaboration on the New Model
Jurard also discussed his involvement in designing his new model.
Jenni Lada: How much influence did you have over your new model design?
Jurard T Rexford: While I made the initial design concept, I owe the fine-tuning to my manager and my art mama, HABAN! My manager helped me flesh out my initial outfit idea, find references, and ensure it was clean and presentable for my art mom. I left all the details to HABAN, and to nobody’s surprise, she made me drop dead gorgeous.
The outfit’s design was heavily influenced by one of my favorite games: Devil May Cry. Funnily enough, I had never played any DMC games before until recently. But when I did, I fell in love with the game’s story. I see a lot of myself in Dante—a fun-loving rebel with a complicated family history—especially in the sibling rivalry between him and his twin brother Vergil (I’m a twin myself).
Who would have thought that Jurard T Rexford, the dual pistol-wielding bounty hunter from the Bandlands with demonic dinosaur powers and a mysterious noble background, would have so much in common with DMC’s Dante? A very unexpected but welcome coincidence!
