You probably would be breaking the law unless you got permission.

If you are specifically trying to reproduce parts of a copyrighted work and have admitted so on a public forum, I do not see how the result could be seen as anything but a derivative work. And you are not supposed to do that without permission.

If you are in the US, you might be able to claim fair use, but claiming fair use without consulting a lawyer is not a good idea.

I fully agree with JBH on asking permissions.
