Yup its ok to animate directly on joints after bind.
If you want to make selection realllly easy:
-Create a selection curve e.g. a box and name it (X is allways the axis that faces down a joint chain to make sure its the same for the control curve)
-copy the name of the shape node e.g.
kirby_r_arm_crvShape
-select the joint you want it to be a controller for and type: parent -r -s kirby_r_arm_crvShape; -r stands for relative and -s stands for shape node.
Other way i like to do is a hierarchichal control rig, but thats only really really needed if lots of influences are being swapped around.

You should do the alien kirby... it could be interesting

When in doubt, delete history and freeze transformations.
