From some of your earliest animations to where you are now. The short films, and this gem. It's just so excellent and I can see the growth of your skills with each scene. Ty for this treasure!! Amazing work Luke as always 😊
Reading this I get a feeling you're quite familliar with my earlier work, that in and of itself makes me really happy to hear and the words you shared itself even moreso. Thanks for being along for the ride, Sully <3
I remember really liking that one animation of the Charizard on the bed way back in the day and it's cool to see how much you have improved. Hope I can reach that some day. <3
Thank you! While I hope to learn the ''efficiency'' spell one day. It was nice working on this bit by bit throughout the year and seeing it come together <3
Thank you for being there when it was being made, that kind of support makes a bigger difference than you may think and I have no doubt it made me feel free-er to make this animation more indulgent <3
This is so amazing! This isn’t just an animation, but an animated painting! Can’t even imagine how much effort it takes to have such good rendering for each frame! Also just seeing him enjoy his big, growing body is so great 💚 Fantastic work!!
Thank you so much Kroco! You are correct in the sense that they are pretty much animated paintings! I create a painting in CSP then copy and paste the colors and shapes into ToonBoom. Adding blur effects where neccesary
I'm glad you like it <3
ABSOLUTELY INSANE. OH MY GOODNESS 🐏 Your work is inspiring beyond levels I can describe. I am so thrilled with this -- the gorgeous shading, overall concept and details on the body status chart behind the workout session... 🙏
I cannot stress how gorgeous and dreamy this is... AMAZING JOB, LUKE!! 💕
Goodness… it’s always a treat seeing your animations!
You’ve never failed to amaze me at your improvement in animation and overall composition; you always make the environments so warm and beautiful and make the characters pop and stand out!
Can’t wait for the future and what you have in store~
That's mighty kind of you Russo. Thank you so much. I greatly enjoy working with cozy places and environment and I'm happy the warmth of them is felt. I appreciate it <3
Oh. My. GOODNESS!!
There's nothing more I want to do that just pat Dennis on the back rolls for reaching such a perfect figure!!
You have absolutely outdone yourself, Luke!
I'd go as far to say that there's seemingly no limit to your talent and love for your craft!!
Hahaha, if you did I'm sure there'd be plenty of them to choose from 😏
This is a really kind comment man, thank you so much. I do enjoy making these and the fact that you can see it makes me really happy
Oh... My... GOD!!! Luke, everything about this whole sequence is just phenomenal. It is PEAK perfection, absolutely amazing, brilliant, outstanding. You are truly one of my absolute favoritest fatfur artists out there. The way you draw fat bodies in general, the way you animate, I'm blown away.
There's something about the way you do fat bodies just strikes my eyes every time you draw them. I don't know how you do it or where you learned your fat anatomy, but I... I'm just at a loss for words (Pretty normal for me on a daily basis. XD) I love this. Everything is just... Mwah~ *Chef Kiss*
Holy moly mackeral, this is stupendously good!! I honestly lack the words to describe everything that just *works* about this entire sequence. Stellar job, man. Just wow.
This is amazing! I always have trouble finding the words to express how incredible your projects always are and this animation here is nothing less than amazing! Bravo!
Ooooooh you bet they did~
Your stuff always scratches many itches. And your animation work just keeps getting better and better. Keep up the amazing work big guy 👌♥️
Thank you! The rimlights were simpler than you may think. I created a mask of the character and then offset it slightly to create a shape that perfectly follows each curve of the character's shapes 💪
There's a magic that you've captured combining extremely fluid, heavy motions of the belly with a soft, perfect lighting (and not to mention sounds) that has done more to express the weight of Dennis than I have EVER seen before.
Now if you excuse me, I need to pick my jaw off the floor. AAAAAAAAA
This was a phenomenal animation and just brilliant work. Always a treat seeing your hard work come to fruition and it shows you did such perfection with this. Love every small and big detail.
The progression is so nice. Love going from thin and fit to a huge fat lazy blubber ball standing on the destroyed remains of a treadmill and patting the sides of your immense belly proudly. Love it <3
GOOD HEAVENS, you always manage to outdo yourself with every animation… I know other people have mentioned it but it really must be reiterated that no one can capture the gravity and heft of these sizes like you do 🙏
This is really generous of you man, thank you! I used references from KLAUS, especially Mr Ellingboe's walkcycle to aid in capturing a feeling of heft. So credit goes to the animators there as well
Hold on..a single person made this?! Luke, the Movements and small details of the body and updating Scenes are amazing! I love how you always weave the seasons into your work as well, gives of really cozy vibes! the shading and lighting are superb and Extremely well done!
Truly inspirational Luke🧡
Awww maaan that gif makes me really happy haha. Thank you very much for the kind words, and for noticing those details as well. It makes the work spent on it feel that much more with it
One thing that I wanna point out that I appreciate, which is how you've used the plants' growth and changing seasons/weather in combination with the "progression" of day to night in the shots of the treadmills
It's a great way to show the long passage of time by linking it to a shorter timespan
Oh my, everything about this is just so GOOD. 😳 The way you animated the wobble of the belly in the third walk cycle is just heavenly. Honestly just, fantastic work here.
(god I wish I could afford to buy the ych of that scene)
DUDE! This is amazing!! Love love LOVE this! The lighting and sound design is so good, the belly and his growth, the sound effects. Even the smaller things, like the electricity out of the treadmill, the burp bubbles, even the TV’s display and the short circuit! All so masterfully done, man. Bravo!
I was unsure whether or not to leave it in as I didn't want it to be confused with gas. But hearing you makes me happy I went ahead with it anyway haha
This was so worth the wait! I love how his fat jiggles and all the noises. You did such an incredible job on this man. 😊 Guess I can say the FATness training was a success?
This is absolutely amazing, the size progression is so well done, the way he moves as he gets bigger and bigger feels so real - heavy, slower, waddling. The bellypat made me melt, and I could watch him struggle to heave himself forward all day long. Incredible. Wow. Great job.
Knowing you I am not surprised all those mental images floated to the surface for you. Perhaps you were his personal trainer all along! 😏
Thank you, Mai
I forgot to comment on this. Love this animation a ton, the reverse sequence of gaining while running on a treadmill is so good. Hits all the right buttons with the burp, gulps, and belly wobbles ending with the treadmill breaking under the weight. Love this a ton dude, amazing shading💛
Goodness gracious, you knocked it out of the park with this animation! Love the shading and such with each shot, it really adds a more real feel~
I also love the inbetweens of each gain, especially that 3rd shot with the belly being front and center~
Holy Moly... this is pushing all the buttons for me. The weight gain, the heft of the belly and weight, and the effect of mass and weight gain affecting the treadmill to creak and break its perfect. The amount of time you put into this is spectacular!
Grah!!! I was looking forward to this so much and I’m blown away!! This has got to be one of my favorite sequences ever, hands down.
The gorgeous lighting, those hefty movements… and masterful use of perspective all add more weight to our growing friend over here.
You keep outdoing yourself, Luke!
Taking into account your excitement on the earlier post it made posting the full thing all the more fun, and I hope it helped you celebrate the weekend all the easier. Thank you so much for the kind words <3
Love this lil animation you did. Honestly, whether your animations are about fats or just stories that hit you in the feels, they are always a treat to watch! :3
Incredibly animated as always! I love this sort of depiction of gaining, though. Realistically, if you wanna stay mobile and healthy at those sizes, you do gotta exercise!
But also just ... how the added weight and bulk affect your day-to-day!
Daweeee this so adorable and smooth!! Lovely animation Luke!! Love the roundness of the character at the end! Can’t wait to see what you have in store next! Love your animations 🤭! 💚💫
Been coming back to rewatch this since you uploaded it. Some of your best work, Luke. Fantastic job. I'm so sorry you're getting crap for it at the other place, but please don't let them get you down -- your work is strong, and you've come a long way, not unlike this guy. Keep it up. 💚🍻
Everything you drop is a banger! 😵💫 This is such a fun animation and such a hot progression, almost makes you want to embark on a similar journey of crushing treadmills and overflowing over couches
This might not be my specific thing, but oh my God, this is animated so well! The effect the weight gain has on him is shown in such a realistic manner.
Luke, this is a fantastic animation! I enjoyed the little details all around as much as I enjoyed the weight gain, like watching the screen with each new transition. And of course, you've definitely mastered the art of creating the perfect wobbles throughout! Your hard work shows throughout! ❤️
I have to credit the movie KLAUS and it's excellent animation showcase for helping with the wobbles. I referenced it a lot with the third walkcycle. So credit to Sergio Martins! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_L_l77mP5c
Your WG sequences are some of my FAVORITES!! I'm especially in awe of the animation on that belly sloshing & bouncing about when he waddles. It's so SMOOTH!! And don't get me started of the SFX! The satisfying, thick SHLAPS he gives he belly with pride...HUFF!!! Simply phenomenal, Luke!! 💚
Sorry i’m commenting again. I’m genuinely in love with this animation and it really makes me want to be more stupidly and ambitiously indulgent as an artist
Every second of this is absolutely stupendous, but the feeling of weight and springy, gelatinous wobblyness you create in each portion of this sequence is actually just out of this world! What a dream scenario...
i wanna point out the sound design in since it helps sell this whole animation. they're all really well done. and the little hompf for when they bite into the sandwich is adorable.
Thank you Bourbon. For both your kind words and for hanging out when it was being made. It made my mornings so much better and in turn it made the animation better. I suppose that's some burr magic right there, thank you for being you
Jesus Christ Luke! You can't keep getting away with these arousing bangers! The casual journey from fit as a steed to as heavy as a whale really sends me with this. The background changes to the futuristic health status screen in the back is also a great touch

I'm glad you like it <3

Outstanding work Luke! Always puts a smile on my face whenever you post your work 🥺💖
Wonderful work there ❤️❤️❤️
(god I wish I could afford to buy the ych of that scene)
All this work and effort deserves some treats as reward <3
Thanks for sharing them and putting in so much time and effort in what you do ❤️
Wow. Wow. 👀
Wonderful work Luke. <3
Thank you, Silver!
Thank you, Mai
Just stunning. His all around rotund figure is delightful. This is fantastic. :D
I do not have the words to share how much I love this
I also love the inbetweens of each gain, especially that 3rd shot with the belly being front and center~
Fantastic work, as always!!

I do weight gain art for commissions and such, or personal art, but I haven't been posting them on main much at all ^^;;
I'm only recently learning to embrace and indulge more of my interests <3 (like fat, burps, and weight gain)
Excellent work! :D✨
Thank you so much, Choco!
PEAK!?
I'm glad this fella is content with his new size. x)
...Probably buffet owners and downstairs neighbors
LOVELY work, man!! <3
One of my fav animators back atcha with a zinger

You're the best animator/storyteller~
