Earlier today, Blizzard announced the arrival on the PTR of the 24th hero in Overwatch; Orisa. (The rest of us non-PTR losers will just have to wait our turn.) With the amazingly active community surrounding the game, it’s not surprising that fan art of robot Orisa and her creator, 11 year old Efi Oladele, is already flowing freely. Here are some of our favourites from artistic early birds!

All artwork has been placed here with permission from the lovely artists! If you like their artwork, head on over to their tumblrs!

5. Baby Orisa! by joannekwan

Many players have been quick to point out that Orisa is usurping D.Va us the baby of the hero roster. She’s only ONE MONTH OLD!

4. Orisa the friendly traffic warden by ybarrart

Orisa is like the friendliest, most lovable quadrupedal traffic warden out there. It’s even one of her emotes!

3. “You can do it, Orisa!” by mana-chan

“I made you to be strong and brave… You still have a lot to learn – and, you’ll probably mess up sometimes!” But we all love you already despite that, Orisa, don’t worry. This colourful piece really shows the love!

2. Smart Engineer Child and Strong Robot Mom! by marineflames

It’s almost like we’re getting two new heroes instead of one – and you’ve got to love the sheer feminine power in this gorgeous picture. Teamwork makes the dreamwork!

1. Efi, by lucydoesart

Just in case you weren’t sure by this point what the driving force behind Orisa’s strength is – a powerful portrait of Efi herself, in all her glory.
