Puzzles 362 and 363 (Slitherlink)

Here are two Nikoli-style Slitherlink puzzles on 10x18 grids.  These are always more difficult to construct than I expect.  It's pretty easy to make a puzzle with lots of easy steps, but it's much harder to create one which feels intentional.  I also tend to force linear solve paths in my puzzles, so when constructing a Nikoli-style grid, those intentions must be thrown out the window.

I think both puzzles before are successful attempts at the style, particularly the second one.
