Developing an Android game with someone else's graphics?

Hello dear!
Recently, I wanted to learn how to develop games for Android and if I liked it, I would go indie. I was alone, and for the development of the game you need at least an artist, and, unfortunately, I have hook-hands in this regard. I had to do something and I went the banal way: I dismantled one flash game I liked and took the graphics from there. I finished the game, it was a success, I really liked doing such development, but it's a pity for the game now ... ;'(
Now the question is. Is cooperation possible to some extent with the company that released this flash game? I mean, can they agree to give me the rights to the graphics for publication in the market (I would like to publish for free), or maybe they would publish it themselves?
In general, I would like to hear your opinion about such cooperation and maybe some of you have already had a similar experience?
Thanks in advance!

You haven't released it yet. Write to the company, explain the situation, ask for permission to use it. So write like here “I’m a novice developer writing my first game, I really liked your graphics and I took it to try, because they can’t pay for the services of a professional artist yet, would you allow me to release it now in the market.” Further on the circumstances. In the worst case, you will have to refuse the release or have someone redraw the graphics.

You can always agree. For example, by embedding the manufacturer's advertising.
I don’t advise stealing graphics - it’s usually easy to prove authorship to a company, and then you understand.

What was the end of the matter? Give me a link to the game?
