Webcomic art advice

So I have been working on my drawing skills and the setting of a furry webcomic I plan on doing. I was planning on having the look of the comic being Diesel Punk (minus some of the 50s influences like the clothing the characters will wear).

Anybody got any advice for drawing diesel punk or examples?

look for some art deco images and look into what defines the style. Look up some BioShock art for some fantastic use of Art Deco.
Diesel punk has a heavy art deco influence. Hit up devianart and try their search function, you'll probably find some good sources for a starting off point
Research research RESEARCH!

As far as your comic goes be sure to do some intense concept arting. Once you know the characters and the world try building a buffer before you start updating. It's good to have a few pages already done before you start so if something happens you don't miss an update.

Also look into designing or getting help designing a simple but effective site. I know with some webcomics if it takes me more than 5 seconds to find the comic I leave.
I've been making webcomics for years and it's a constant learning process. My first comics had little to no planning and it took them forever to get anywhere. Lots of trial and error.
