Steampunk Story

For more than a year now I have been craving a good Steampunk game. There have been quite a few that claim to be Steampunk but they don't fit the bill. There are certain themes that are absent or they just go too specific into something that has already been done. I've also been wanting movies and comics, might have to look up some books too. If you guys can recommend any and give a little synopsis without spoiling it that'll be great. So anyway, as some of you know I lost my job and would really like to get back to what I really love doing which is drawing. I have a Steampunk setting, more than a few ideas on what to do with it but only one seems doable. But even that one has two alternatives. Basically I thought about a web comic, but then I would have no money so how can I keep this going? then there's the whole selling the book through PoD (Print on Demand) sites. It is tough and I'm still on the pre-production stages. The tentative title is Alma City.

It won't be a story about a certain character but rather the story of things happening in this City. I'm planning on having chapters that change points of view, others that will be a sequence, basically what happens in Chapter X1 continues in Chapter X2 but from another perspective. I have yet to design the characters, those in the sketchbook are there to get me in the right mood. Won't promise they'll make it in the story but knowing me, they probably will. I already like them lol.

These two were drawn about a year ago, so yea I've been very Steampunkish for a while

If you have any ideas how I can get this done and still make money in the process please share those with me. Most of the projects I have in mind never see the light of day 'cause I end up needing money to either replace things that break (like my old wacom tablet) or upgrading my hardware. Either way I have more loses than gains. Also monthly bills are no joke.
