I'm an art student aswel, those drawings are awsome and you've managed to portray the unique design concepts of each race explicitly, also they have a big "coolness" factor.
As Tarminic's said considering their ships designed to move within a planets surface they should reflect the need for airodynamic lift, the Gallente one imo needs to show more evidence of this, maybe hint at the presence of wings or downward pointing thrusters?
What do you intend to do with the concepts once finalised? It would be cool you could find someone to render them in 3D but that would probably be difficult. Thinking about this theres alot of options for ground vechiles beside mobile landing ships, but as no one knows what CCP has planed for surface combat its imposible to guess (I dont think CCP even knows for sure yet).
If you want to team up on this I might have a go at working on afew of these aswel (with your permission ofc as this is your project).

Heres a sketch I did on the Sansha Frig, so you can see where I am comming from when commenting on your work. Tis kinda blurry since I captured it with a cheap digital camera.
Very nice sketch, the way you've caught the shiny hulls is impressive aswel. I think Nova's are more just concepts at the moment, when your brainstorming stuff down your just looking to get the basic shapes and forms, then at a later date you'd draw something like yours to express it in greater detail.
I cant get online right now but I'd be interested in hearing your ideas for implementing "planet fall" even if their unfinished, the Juggernaught idea sounds pretty sweet and the requiremnt of a locking becon goes some way to balancing it out. You could allow it to fire on planetary surfaces without the need of becon but with severely reduced accuracy, also have you thought about the possibilities of terraforming?
Heres a concept art I did a year ago for an Amarian station, though I now realise its design is better suited to a jovian station. It was just a concept sketch and I had intended to do a more detialed version one day:

Hi Nova don't have alot to add at this point other than wow @ the new gallente Prometheus design, it looks awsome, cant wait to see it completed. I think it needs to be alittle more linear though in keeping with Gallente designs, so less sharp edges and smoother more "bubble" like shapes. If they had that ingame I'd deifinitly be flying it.
I've done afew drawings for Gallente ships but need to get a scanner before I can show them online, my current one seems to loose loads of quality when I scan it in.
