    That depends. Are you doing this just for your own enjoyment or trying to use that art for commercial purposes? Do you have the artist’s permission to modify and pass on their work?

    If it’s just for you then go hog wild. If you’re planning to use the modified art commercially or post it online publicly you should get the artist’s permission first.
