Yes.What you are doing is creating a derivative work.
By using original parts of the image to create a new one, their copyright still applies.

Correct.But bear in mind, copyright enforcement is the responsibility of the holder of copyright and not law enforcement agencies. That means the cops can't get you in shit for it, but if the person who created the work spots it and doesn't approve, they can do you for it.
While I think of it, does anyone know specifically how copyright law pertains to the Internet? For example, I'm currently in a country not party to the Berne Convention, which would, I imagine, have some bearing on the matter.
