Maybe my dwarf having her left side mangled in her bed by a Troglodyte?

It's not a specific moment, but what about all those times when two creatures are grappling each other with improbably body parts? I'd love to see a picture of a dwarf grappling a goblin by grabbing it's upper body with his third toe left foot.

Keep in mind that the dwarves are essentially alcoholic toddlers, and act accordingly.

I like the blank expression on their faces. Years of traumatising magma abuse and torture pits has erased all emotional reaction from their faces. You should draw them shorter though, since.. y'know, they're dwarves. Not as tall as orcs :P

I had assumed the impact with the wall had accordianized the orc's spine, and that's why he was as tall as it.

A Champion Wrestler running across the map after a goblin snatcher who grabbed a little dwarf girl, catching him just before he left the area, then brutalizing the goblin with his bare hands. Focusing on making it as painful as possible for the goblin. Breaking fingers, toes, prolonging the pain.

Having not played DF for a while I forgot to set up a basic defense (Dog on rope) for the starting 7, autum comes round and a kobold ambush kills all the starting 7. Blood everywhere, but still the cutest way to die.

 How about the final moment of a sacrificial miner, that Dwarf who breaks open the magma pipe and is treated to a melty death as his reward?

I think it'd be better to just throw him in a pit.
By pit I mean "ledge designated as pit some 30 levels above the ground water magma" and that would,as they say be the end of that.
Unless a sword/axedwarf gets to 'em.. then it's rhesus pieces...

I don't understand why you'd want this to be illustrated? It doesn't seem very... actiony, and it doesn't lend itself easily to being drawn.
