Artorias it may be based on Guts from Berserk. Both had an "usless left arm", Both use a great sword as main weapon (or zweihander). Both fight like wild beast. Artorias some of Berserk's Guts moves, like the high jumps or the spinning jump. Guts is hounted by visions of a dark hound (and his version of the Berserk Armor is a dog-wolf like armor) when Artorias has Sif as companion. Guts is swallowed by darkness when fighting in the Berserk's armor (and he has a mark of sacrifice, wich makes him be haunted by dark spirits and powerfull demons day after day without rest), not knowing what is friend or foe, Artorias was swalloed by the Abyss and lost his mind by it. Both had being recongnized as "unmatched with the greatsword and for have an unbreakeable will".

If Gael maybe is more accurated in his 1st stance, and when he fight with his crossbow, Artorias is more like to Guts. Even more, Artorias DLC Image can be compared with one of the most iconic Berserk panels of Guts wearing the Berserk's armor:
