Actually, that can't be Artorias on the cover. Upon closer inspection of the armor, it doesn't fit, even if you see it in proper condition, the Artorias Armor Set. It actually looks very much like a combination of most armors found in the game itself, though having it Left-Handed doesn't do it much justice, since using a shield in the right-hand in game is not very effective at all (Hopefully fixed in DaS2). The hilt and start of the blade of the sword are also wrong in being the Greatsword of Artorias. While the shield also initial looks like the Greatshield, upon closer inspection it looks much more like the Crest Shield. It is actually possible that it's Oscar of Astora, but this is just another speculation.

While orginally I thought it was Artorias, closer inspection deems it is not. However, with the way the concept looks, it can be easily mistaken. Instead, when they were releasing the DLC, they had a large cutout of what Artorias looked like made (and I think they gave it away) to help with the DLC's release.
