Steampunk Comic? (Patreon)

Some sketches I did a few years ago, based on a steampunk character, Dr. Mordecai McAbre, I came up with for a Halloween costume (yeah, that's me in the drawing.) Would I ever expand this concept into a comic? Should the character be gay? An inventor and sleuth matching wits against nefarious scoundrels in 1890's London or New York? Gays by gaslight?
