The kind that gets fired somehow from a full metal bow?
Jokes aside, yes, those kind of arrowheads exists and was probably meant to sacrifice penetrating power for dealing more cutting/bleeding wound.

As bonus, the reverse also exists.

Why not just use a broadhead instead? Better penetration, and still get embedded in the wound, enough to cause bleeding.
Through it does look cool, and maybe it's all that matters since it's just a drawing.
