And so on and so forth…
Nice start. This is Wings and then rendered with Tuhopuu blinn shader?
Nice render.

Yup, that’s it. And a li’l envmap for some nice reflections.
Ahhh… Blinn, is there anything it can’t do!!! 
Good start, question is, what kind of drone??
Housekeeping, maintenence or security?
Each requires a different look, so which are you aiming for?
Doesn’t look frightening or too utilitarian so I’d go for housekeeping.

It’s really a very common, everyday kind of drone. Your next-door, average drone =) Standard issue for light industry work. These will appear in an ever increasing number - in the first scenes there will only be a few, but they gradually take over, so to speak. But it’s really just a background element of the story… Think of them as extras, plain and simple.
I’m sorry I haven’t posted any updates yet, but my PC has been kidnapped, and I won’t get access to it again until monday… Bummer. Posting this from our non-3D-friendly backup box.
And Blinn… There are some things it can’t do, but it’s not easy to come up with an example… Well, hair wouldn’t be appropriate. You really want some anisotropic BRDF for that, I suppose. No such thing in Tuhopuu yet…
