No problem.
I think I would just go with the word "Duskblade" in a cool looking font. If you could find some art of an Elven Curveblade with arcane symbols on it, that would look cool, but otherwise I would ditch the cover art. Part of the problem with the cover art is everything has color except the skin or eyes, they are the default color of the paper.
The actual picture, the skin and eyes do have color. Perhaps it is the scan that turned out bad?
Either way, I wouldn't want to steal somebodies photo from the web and post it on my PDF for the cover. Finding a "royalty free" one would probably be a better option, though I'd still want to credit the artist.
