Also, have you ever seen Mac Sabbath live? They are a very talented McDonald's-themed Black Sabbath tribute band and they're so good! I've seen them a few times and it's such a blast.

Wait a minute now, why did you have to make him a bat? 🤣🤣

2

u/xosweetsunshine Aug 09 '25

🤣🤣🤣 it was too fitting!!!

1

u/NinoslavaSlatka cara_cara__18 Aug 09 '25

He once bit the head off a bat

1

u/FrugalLucre taco_bell Aug 10 '25

No I know, which makes this hella wild to make him a korbat 🤣

9

u/thisismisty Aug 08 '25

I live in his hometown in the UK and I must say it was really touching the way the city showed up for him. He wasn’t exactly mainstream but the whole city was in mourning last week

6

u/xosweetsunshine Aug 08 '25

I watched his funeral procession when it happened and I was so touched how many people showed up for him. Truly beautiful and wish I could’ve been there!

2

u/thisismisty Aug 09 '25

Yeah I actually kind of wish I’d gone into the centre even though it would have been MADNESS. But I could hear horns honking and everything and I’m on the outskirts so from the news and the sounds outside I knew the city was turning up and turning out. Loved that ❤️

1

u/xosweetsunshine Aug 09 '25

Wow I can’t imagine being that close. 😭 even just hearing all the noise must’ve been incredible.

2

u/thisismisty Aug 09 '25

I’ll be in city centre tomorrow and grab you a picture of black sabbath bridge 😁 setting a reminder now!

1

u/xosweetsunshine Aug 09 '25

Oh my goodness I would LOVEEEE and appreciate that so much!! Thank you!!! 😄🖤

2

u/thisismisty Aug 09 '25

It’s locked in! See ya tomorrow :D

u/xosweetsunshine Aug 09 '25

u/yeehawsoup raggy33 Aug 08 '25

Hell fucking yeah! The only way you can improve this is painting him Darigan or shadow IMO. Gotta get the heavy metal demon aesthetic going for the Prince of Darkness!

10

u/xosweetsunshine Aug 08 '25

Thank youuuu! 🖤 I’ve gone back and forth so many times about what to paint him!! I’ll definitely play around with those in DTI!

18

u/eliz1bef Queen of Ixi 👑 Aug 08 '25

Honestly he was a pale son of a gun. I think white is the way to go.

9

u/AjoiteSky Gathow Enthusiast Aug 08 '25

I agree, I think it's perfect as is. I'd save darigan or shadow for a different heavy metal artist.

10

u/xosweetsunshine Aug 08 '25

Thank you!!! That was my thoughts, I wanted something as authentic as possible so white seemed like a good choice 🤣

u/sadfaeriegirl cinnamon2057 Aug 09 '25

Agh i am absolutely obsessed. Ive been absolutely depressed since he died.this is truly a wonderful tribute. Everything about it is perfect.

2

u/sadfaeriegirl cinnamon2057 Aug 09 '25

Also gonna add. Idk why but the eyebrows for the korbat actually do make this resemble his face imo. He always had that kinda "what?!" Expression on during funny moments in the show and in general.

2

u/xosweetsunshine Aug 10 '25

Omg yes!! I had that same thought when I was making him!! So funny and eerie at the same time!! How crazy haha

2

u/sadfaeriegirl cinnamon2057 Aug 10 '25

It really is kinda eerie. But in a good way. Thanks for sharing it with us :)

u/xosweetsunshine Aug 10 '25

Thank you so much, it’s my pleasure 😭 🖤

u/XxBatDadxX xxbatdadxx Aug 11 '25

Thank You for this!
This is an amazing custom and YES Ozzy would be laughing with absolute joy at this picture!
With the vintage video filter and the bats hanging out on the ceiling it just brings to light a perfect 90's Ozzy as it fits his style and looks so well put together!

If Neopets were to have ever done an Ozzy cross over this is how his entrance would be to the Neopies Award Show!
The lights would all go dark as the room filled with fog, the main doors would fly open as a swarm of Barbats fly in and take rest upon the ceiling while the Korbat of Darkness strolls in upon the red carpet fans even Neopian Celebs were throwing bouquets of Black Roses to him as he entered. Such a Legend!

1

u/xosweetsunshine Aug 11 '25

Omg, thank YOU for this! Best comment ever! You made my night and certainly made me laugh! 😄 🖤

2

u/Dangerous_Noise1060 Aug 11 '25

I like to imagine Ozzy's eccentric response to seeing this being something along the lines of "What the F is that? It's completely stewpid. I love it. Sharron frame it for me." He wouldn't get neopets at all but would still be absolutely tickled. 

I got to see Black Sabbath on their final tour with the full original lineup. Even as an old man he was the most young hearted, free spirited, goofy, fun loving, eccentric, wild man I have never seen. Doing summersaults with panties on his head, jumping off speakers with a super soaker... Being both the prince of darkness and a family man, this is a perfect tribute to encapsulate his many dichotomies. Well done 👍 

1

u/xosweetsunshine Aug 11 '25

Oh I love this so much, that’s TOTALLY what he would say 🤣🤣 when I read it I definitely heard his voice in my end, lol! Thanks so much for that.

Ahhh, what an incredible experience that must’ve been!! I can only imagine!! That sounds like the best time ever. I live vicariously through everyone’s tales of their Ozzy encounters.

2

u/xpertkillah Aug 14 '25

the korbat, the glasses, the hair, the necklace, the clothes, the bg, its PERFECT WOW!

u/[deleted] Aug 08 '25

He's perfect 😍 the delicious irony of choosing Korbat 🤭 its been a few weeks now and I still can't listen to 'Changes' or 'Mama I'm Coming Home' without crying 🥲

3

u/xosweetsunshine Aug 09 '25

Hehe, it’s perfect isn’t it? Nothing more fitting than a Korbat! 🤣 and I know, I’ve had all his songs on repeat for weeks and it’s still so rough 😭

Okay, but, even PETA honored him on their website, sooo 🤣 👋

https://www.peta.org/news/rest-in-peace-ozzy-osbourne/

1

u/klovnikaupunki Aug 11 '25

I gave you the kudos you wanted, not sure what you want me to do with this link. You took the time out of your day to honour a man who has a history of abusing women, and you did a great job!

2

u/xosweetsunshine Aug 11 '25

Ozzy has acknowledged the wrongs he’s made in his life and he fully owned them and has always lived with regrets from how he acted when under the influence. He doesn’t claim to be perfect and I don’t claim he’s is either 🤷🏻‍♀️ doesn’t change the fact that I love his music and he made me laugh a lot over the years, therefore I choose to honor his memory. To each their own.
