Yeah, no not really. I've gotten into the bad habit of drawing the Sonichu character with more canine appearing snouts instead of a "Sonic" snout. Wild especially, I wanted to give him the appearance of a jutting upperjaw, but due to the way I drew his muzzle, he does look dangerously close to other anthropomorphic humanoids... So, not intentional. Just shitty drawing on my part. :p
Two things I can guarantee how I draw comics/ write stories:
1) I never let a character die easily. Ever. Being hit by lightning and being slammed through a brick wall by a fist the size of a Great Dane is too easy.
2) When I do kill a named character, they won't be killed as an afterthought, nor would they just have part of a page dedicated to them. Deaths get the full-page treatment.
So Crystal isn't dead...
...yet.
