Earlier this year, LRM was excited to share with you The Art Of Comic Books features presented by Tim Nardelli. It is a complete breakdown of the creative process of making a comic book. Tim goes into detail the steps it took him to make his latest comic book Night Terror. One of the most interesting parts of the feature was the process it took to create the fictional character The Demonolith. If any of you have ever tried to create your own comic book character you know it is not an easy task. The challenge is even greater when creating something that doesn’t even exist. For Tim Nardelli creating the Demonolith was one of the biggest challenges for the comic book Night Terror.
Unlike Matt Daio, the process for creating The Demonolith was different. First, this character is a fictitious entity that does not exist in nature. Before doing any drawing that would suggest structure or design to this creature, Tim had to create a series of silhouette drawings to help establish a sense of form as a means to further explore possibilities in design. This is a method that is also used in television and film when creating new characters. Sometimes new characters come naturally to conceptualize, this was not the case for Tim. In the initial process of creating The Demonolith, Tim hit a roadblock and needed some help to finish the concept.

Tim recruited the help of Mauricio Ruiz to give him an extra pair of eyes to finish the rough look of the character. After the help from Mauricio, the full look of The Demonolith was starting to take form. Although the demonic character only appears in a few pages of the comic book, it was important for Tim to get a 360 degree visual of the character. Tim noted that he now had a full reference to the character for later use.
