The one to the right has knives coming out of is mouth and you cant see his deformed face and all this was done on Photoshop as well Above: is a CD cover (August Burns Red) and you can see that the image is a skull but its not really a skull. The teeth are made of bullets, skull is made of hands, paper, and faces. Good example of Graphic Design.
