the way i make my chords patter is by findin the left hand chords and a wat that i do that is......if the chord is Eb/GbBbDb.....i will hold the Eb and go down every note until i find half a chord that sound right like ..ex. EbGb/GbBbDB....then i find a third chord for the left hand which will be a Bb...so the chords will be EbGbBb/GbBbDb.....u can phattin it up more by also playing the Ab along wit the GbBbDb..which wll be EbGbBb/GbAbBbDb.....try that out and hit me back with comments and fixes

I dunno if this is what you're looking for but, I think you have a lot of options in trying to make these chords "phatter" I don't know if you mean by "phatter" that you want a more open sound or clustered sound, but a phatter sound for me personally would be to create some sort of dissonance. To put it simply, I put in a lot of my chords notes that are separated by half steps, so I would find ways to play these notes that are relative to each other by a half step right next to each other. So here's what I would do to your first chord, also I wasn't sure if you wanted to keep the same top note so I'll keep it:
#1
Bb/Ab Db Eb F--->Bb Ab C/Eb Ab Db F (open)--OR--Bb/Ab C Db Eb F---OR---Bb D/Ab Db Eb F
I hope this helps.

To post phatter chords are not that easy...it depends on so many variables. What is your melody? what song are comming out of? Slow tempo or fast? Just a few questions, anyway, here is what I was hearing.  Hope this helps.

I'm not feelin' the (#2.) progression (need to hear you play it) so I changed it a little, if you are going to walk up the scale at least walk to the 3rd it takes you to the fourth. 1-4-5 then you can 2-5-1.; but I guess you can do other things, I'm just not hearing it right now. All in all nice arrangement.
