I want to compile a list of webcomics with great backgrounds that I will definitely read later
and not collect dust on my TBR list

I will start--
Marionetta on webtoon inspired this thread.

The bgs in ep 24 are just so good! It's lively and warm and grand yet simple
It makes me want to see more backgrounds

And for Tapas, Unfamiliar is pretty good in a different way.
The settings have their own personality that I find really charming


My fav little detail is the cattails have cat faces lol

Valentine by Seni-Arseni has some of the most breathtaking backgrounds I've ever seen in a comic. I pride myself in the detail I put into my backgrounds, but this artist is on a whole different level. And Tapas forces you to reduce the resolution of images before updating them. If these look this good at 940 pixels wide I can only imagine how they look as drawn.

Just looked through a few pages
The backgrounds integrate the 3d elements well
And the crowd shot from one of the newer episodes is really detailed!

@allenT
Oh black and white! I always appreciate how bw artists create environments without color to rely on.

@Legendofgenii
Wow that's a lot!
I recognize some of these from the forums haha
They each have their own unique way of rendering bgs
It's good to see so much variety!

And I think I'll share the Moon and Me again


I know I put this in another thread, but it's just so good.
All the chromatic aberration and sense of scale
More episodes on webtoon, but I will put the tapas link for series if there is one since this is the tapas forums

I clicked on that Firelight one and I was just like :heart_01:
Starting right off with multiple city shots oh bby
And crowds!

The first one just reminded me it's been forever since I read a non-webtoon comic.
The Steam Dragon Express has a cute style too with the air ship design

But The Firelight Isle!
Man I love cities
