Scenery Porn/Web Comics


 * What Song of the Cloud lacks in speech, it makes up for in beautiful scenery.
 * In What's Shakin, many large panel scenes are drawn this way to emphasize something dramatic going on. Or transitional pages to help break the mood, like THIS one.
 * Darths and Droids plays with this trope a couple times. Particularly here and here.
 * Megatokyo, with intricate buildings and weapons. Probably due to the artist actually being an architect originally.
 * The Phoenix Requiem
 * Gunnerkrigg Court's urban landscapes are beautiful and foreboding. And the scenery has only improved over time.
 * Say what you want about Drowtales, but the art, especially the art from the remakes, is fantastic.
 * Family Man. Observe. Another example, complete with an accurate depiction of the sky during medieval times.
 * Dresden Codak, one of the few webcomics you'd actually want to hang on a wall. Artist Aaron Diaz actually draws the comics on the computer. When sold as prints, they are between four and six feet tall, sometimes bigger. They look amazing hung on a wall.
 * Rice Boy and Order of Tales actively revel in this, having entire pages that are beautiful sweeping landscape drawings or are lots of little no-dialogue panels just showing the characters moving through the environment. This is much less of a problem than you'd think, since the comic generally updates with multiple pages at a time.
 * The Dreamland Chronicles does this from time to time, especially when establish new scenes, such as Astoria (continued on the next page) or Ashendel (also a double page).
 * Nature of Natures Art occasionally indulges in this. It's even more impressive when you realise that the art's done entirely in oekaki.
 * Besides lots of nudity, the unfinished CG webcomic Dreamwalk Journal depicts vast exterior and interior vistas on the insect-dominated world of Cyeatea (more or less SFW images). You don't suppose James Cameron was a fan, do you?
 * The Meek has some beautiful and distinct backgrounds in each of it's three Rotating Arcs, from a tropical jungle to a government building to an oasis. While those links are all safe, a fair bit of the rest of the site is NSFW. Just a heads up.
 * Randall from Xkcd will occasionally play with this trope, most notably seen here.
 * Homestuck may start with sparse black-and-white backgrounds, but as the story continues the art becomes more elaborate and colorful. Especially the players' various lands.
 * The opening view of Sherbourg in Snow By Night does a good job of laying out the beautiful details of the colony.
 * The Black Blood Alliance has some gorgeous backgrounds. Unfortunately, this is one of the few good things to say about it.
 * Off White has some impressive backgrounds.
 * Question Duck has many gorgeous backdrop. Which have, of course, nothing to do with the question the duck asks.
 * Slightly Damned indulges in this when the characters arrive in the city of St. Curtis. Rhea is impressed too.
 * Outside scenes in Cwynhilds Loom are usually very detailed. Interior scenes are often as well.
 * The Property of Hate features many beautiful (and trippy) backgrounds, especially once the story reaches the fantasy world.
