Until I get the web site to show off my portfolio running, I wanted to know if these were good to add to my portfolio? 1st is a mock up of an abandoned hospital using sketchup. Next two are hand-drawn, then altered using gimp. Criticism needed.
Professional Enough?

Dunno. Are you applying for a construction engineer position?

Level designers design levels. As in, levels for games. As in, things people can play. I cannot play your screenshots and conceivably they are for no game in particular. These are issues

Also for the first image, don't make us tilt our heads/monitors.

He's absolutely correct. You need to apply your top down to an actual game. Half-Life 2 is great for creating sp missions try Source SDK, also try UDK.
Also, top-downs and layout blueprints only get you so far. You need to show off your knowledge of level design by implementing and your ability to rework / tweak gameplay based on feedback.

Indeed.

Pretty much what everyone else said. These would probably be good portfolio material if they accompanied the final map
eg. "here's the level I made, and here's my planning documents, look at how professional I am"
