* What ''[[ |
* What ''[[Song of the Cloud]]'' lacks in speech, it makes up for in beautiful scenery. |
||
* In ''[[ |
* 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 ''[http://whatsshakincomic.com/2011/05/09/page-35/ THIS]'' one. |
||
* ''[[ |
* ''[[Darths and Droids]]'' plays with this trope a couple times. Particularly [http://darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0135.html here] and [http://darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0271.html 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 [[Art Evolution|only improved over time]]. |
||
* Say what you want about ''[[ |
* Say what you want about ''[[Drowtales]]'', but the art, especially the art from the remakes, is fantastic. |
||
* ''[[ |
* ''[[Family Man]]''. [http://www.lutherlevy.com/?p=74 Observe.] Another [http://www.lutherlevy.com/?p=1028 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 [http://www.thedreamlandchronicles.com/?p=246 Astoria] (continued on the next page) or [http://www.thedreamlandchronicles.com/?p=155 Ashendel] (also a double page). |

* ''[[Nature of Nature's Art |
* ''[[Nature of Nature's Art|Nature of Natures Art]]'' [http://www.nofna.com/?T=1-1-12-43 occasionally] [http://www.nofna.com/?T=1-1-12-154 indulges] [http://www.nofna.com/?T=1-1-12-238 in] [http://www.nofna.com/?T=1-1-12-297 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 ''[[ |
* Besides lots of nudity, the unfinished CG webcomic ''[[Dreamwalk Journal]]'' depicts vast [http://www.klinefx.com/P44CH1END.html exterior] and [http://www.klinefx.com/P104.html 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 [http://www.meekcomic.com/2009/01/01/chapter-1-page-1/ tropical] [http://www.meekcomic.com/2009/06/06/chapter-1-page-33/ jungle] to a [http://www.meekcomic.com/2009/10/09/2-07/ government] [http://www.meekcomic.com/2010/03/15/2-29/ building] to [http://www.meekcomic.com/2010/08/02/ch-3-cover/ 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 ''[[ |
* Randall from ''[[Xkcd]]'' will occasionally play with this trope, most notably seen [http://xkcd.com/766/ here]. |
||
* ''[[ |
* ''[[Homestuck]]'' may start with sparse black-and-white backgrounds, but as the story continues [[Art Evolution|the art becomes more elaborate and colorful]]. [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003307 Especially] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003329 the] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004089 players'] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004272 various] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004366 lands]. |

* The [http://www.snowbynight.com/pages/ch1/pg2.html 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 [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot|about it.]] |

* ''[[ |
* ''[[Off White]]'' [http://akreon.deviantart.com/art/off-white-pg-37-and-38-REDO-255338733?q=gallery%3Aakreon%2F4769272&qo=103 has] [http://akreon.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4aobk7 some] [http://akreon.deviantart.com/gallery/4769272?offset=120#/d2ceiyy impressive] [http://akreon.deviantart.com/art/off-white-pg108-174488422?q=gallery%3Aakreon%2F4769272&qo=23 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 [http://www.sdamned.com/2011/11/11052011/ when the characters arrive in the city of St. Curtis]. Rhea is impressed too. |
||
* Outside scenes in ''[[ |
* Outside scenes in ''[[Cwynhild's Loom|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 [http://rgb.thecomicseries.com/comics/11 reaches the fantasy world]. |
