Logan Berry and the Grape Bovine

 

Logan Berry sports a milkman type uniform and has a knack for whipping up some delicious treats, including his signature Grape Bovine.  The Grape Bovine is Logan's twist on a classic Purple Cow drink, which is a grape soda ice cream float.  Logan Berry happens to be an inventive chef and farmer, and creates his Grape Bovine from scratch.  He grows the grapes in his vineyard to make his own grape soft drink and to form two Grape Bovine cow nostrils.  He milks his cow to make the tasty ice cream that forms the Grape Bovine head.  He mixes his own whipped cream to make the Grape Bovine's hair.  He creates his own candy corn to make the Grape Bovine's horns and ears.  He even prepares his own chocolate sprinkles to represent the Grape Bovine's eyes.  Logan Berry and the Grape Bovine here are made from sea shells, rocks, and other items found on the beaches of Venice, Florida.  The characters are ready to make Logan Berry and the Grape Bovine a national restaurant chain.

I am often inspired to create characters based on actual people I meet.  Logan Berry and the Grape Bovine is such a case.  Logan Berry is based on an actual Logan (whose last name was NOT Berry) I knew who worked at a Culver's frozen custard restaurant in Florida.  A Loganberry is a hybrid of a blackberry and a raspberry.  A grape is actually considered to be a berry, so it felt natural to have a berry based character with a berry based frozen treat.  I was also inspired by the legendary Orange Julius fruit/dessert based drink empire.
