The comments_template() template tag sets up the commenting variables and functions, and includes the comments.php template-part file. So, to create a custom comments template, use comments.php.
From there, you will need to get comfortable with the arguments, filters, and callbacks for wp_list_comments(), which is used to output the comment list, and comment_form(), which is used to output the comment-reply form.
