One more tip I forgot to mention but am using at 8:28 - in Weight Paint Mode you can go to Weights > Assign Automatic from Bones to use the automatic weightpainting on a selection of individual bones instead of the whole armature. Though on the first parent it is faster to disable the Deform bone options which is why I am using that in the video.
Hope you enjoyed it~

this was pretty informative, and that's a really nice model!
i'll use this in the future whenever i make a new model
i also didn't know you could swap between selected bones like that, i used to just click on the vertex group list which was pretty inconvenient and way harder than just alt clicking on the bone like you do

[@Lopai]

Thank you for your kind words. I'm happy to have helped~

[@Lopai]

I select all the tail bones and then set the Pivot Point to Individual Origins (press . > Individual Origins). Then I just rotate with R c:
