• Outside scenes in Cwynhild's Loom are usually very detailed. Interior scenes often are as well.
• Darths & Droids plays with this trope a couple times. Particularly here and here.
• Derelict — though there's very little dialogue, about half the pages have stunningly detailed and beautifully painted backgrounds. Most backgrounds are rusty ruins, though, so the "porn" part is up for debate.
• Say what you want about Drow Tales, but the art, especially the art from the remakes, is fantastic.
• 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).
• Besides lots of nudity, the unfinished and currently offline CG webcomic Dreamwalk Journal (and its ongoing and very much online Spin-Off Nightshade the Merry Widow) depicts vast exterior and interior vistas on the insect-dominated world of Cyeatea. You don't suppose James Cameron was a fan, do you?
• 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.
• Family Man. Observe. Another example, complete with an accurate depiction of the sky during medieval times.
• Gunnerkrigg Court's urban landscapes are beautiful and foreboding. And the scenery has only improved over time.
• 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 Meek has some beautiful and distinct backgrounds in each of its 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.
• MegaTokyo, with intricate buildings and weapons. Probably due to the artist actually being an architect originally.
• Nature Of Natures Art occasionally indulges in this. It's even more impressive when you realise that the art's done entirely in oekaki.
• OFF-WHITE has some impressive backgrounds.
• The Phoenix Requiem
• The Property Of Hate features many beautiful (and trippy) backgrounds, especially once the story reaches the fantasy world.
• Question Duck has many gorgeous backdrop. Which have, of course, nothing to do with the question the duck asks.
• 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.
• Slightly Damned indulges in this when the characters arrive in the city of St. Curtis. Rhea is impressed too.
• The opening view of Sherbourg in Snow By Night does a good job of laying out the beautiful details of the colony.
• What Song Of The Cloud lacks in speech, it makes up for in beautiful scenery.
• To really appreciate String Theory's background art, view at them at full size on the comic's sketchblog. Note that the linked image only a small panel from this page.
• In Whats 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.
• Randall from xkcd will occasionally play with this trope, most notably seen here.
• Zoophobia has some gorgeous scenery, most notably this (which was done as a collaboration with artist, Kyra a.k.a. CircusTent), this and this page.
• In Thistil Mistil Kistil, traveling brought them by this sunrise.
• The Less Than Epic Adventures Of TJ And Amal does great things with its Real Place Backgrounds and magnificently detailed artwork. Being the webcomic equivalent of a Road Movie, this is somewhat to be expected.
