If you cannot beat them, join them

Well it didn't end up as good as I wanted to, mainly because I'm not very good in shading with the pencil. The clouds looks awful, his guns don't stand out enough and his eye could be better.

Anyway I enjoyed the challenge in drawing him in this pose. It was very hard for me and had to re-draw his right arm a dozen of times before having it looking quite decent.

On a side note, the pose is a reference to Grave from the Gungrave franchise. I guess Lucian is hardly inspired by him for several reasons (his guns, his long coat, his recalling animation) so it came natural for me to try and picture him in the typical Grave's pose with his arms crossed.
