Someone was paid to generate this art. Why should it be someone who didn’t actually do the work?

Ok good point. And I guess it would be very cheap for them to make this go away or at least not any more expensive than changing it again.

The fan artist understands that Humphry is Disney's property and, aside from noting that this happened, isn't trying to make any trouble. Disney's best face-saving option is to acknowledge this happened and, as Irish suggested, offer him an intern job.

looking online, it seems that Humprhey Bear has had several similar poses in his career. So maybe even if the artist drew that piece of art it is quite similar to others Disney has used.
Even comparing the artist on twitter drawing to what was actually painted in the dryer there are not identical. looks like if Disney did use the twitter artist art, they also also did some additional alterations to the face.
Could it have been a coincidence?

It really does get tiring, criticizing Disney's latest additions. But then they give us a 5 dollar dry off machine with a Disney character drawn by a fan.

Don’t worry, everyone will know who Humphrey the Bear is once the Jon Favreau live-action film comes out. There will be lines around the block to use this $5 hair dryer.

People should pay close attention in Ralph Breaks the Internet...
Humphrey had an appearance in the recent Three Caballeros animated series.
Remember last year when Disney's Sanderson Sister's art copied another artist's style and a boat load of merch had to be trashed and new merch made?

Interesting, i was looking at another site and they ha a picture of the dryer huts and the picture inside was different. It seems that they have more than one and each one has Humphrey with the yellow blob behind him doing one of his other poses. Really seems like that it was a coincidence that the pose of the twitter guy and disney art were similar especially since thee are sliht difference and the pose is very similar to the way the bear has been shown in merchandise

It's the cartoon outline in the fan-art that is clearly the same as the one that Disney used in the hut graphic. The similarity to other Disney graphics of Humphrey is to be expected, as the fan-artist would naturally be inspired by the source material. But look more closely at the exact nature of the ink part of the ink-and-paint. Every nuance of line, with very slight refinements by Disney, is precisely aligned between the two images. The paint part of the images vary, with Disney's adding some shading and redrawing/positioning the bean-shaped background, but the cartooning is clearly a tracing.
And the fan-artist didn't say that Disney "copied" his art; he said that Disney "traced" it.
