In this letter we will be using a Cat image stock as texture.

The painting of the fur and wrapping of the texture will be somewhat similar to what we did with the letter "W".

When you start painting the fur on this one, make sure you give it longer strokes, to match the length of the fur on the cat. Start the strokes almost at the middle of the texture, this will also help with the blending. Also keep in mind the variation of the colors.

Don’t forget to add little details on your letters, for instance, the cat tail. (Same process as step 14).

Step 29 – Letter "I"

This letter will be similar to what we did on the first letter "I" but In this case we are not going to paint any hair on it since the Horse stock image already had a very nice texture.

For the tail, I selected a part of the hair from the horse stock and placed it on top of the letter.

Then paint some hair with large strokes to improve the blending with the shape.

Step 30 – Letter "F"

The next to letters might be the most difficult ones to texture mainly because of the large numbers of sides they have. Remember to use the original 3D letter as reference for the shading and lightning. Since we are using a Tiger stock image as texture, we’ll make this layer like we did with the letter "W" and the second "L" with the cat fur texture.

Create new layers between the letter groups to paint the shadows cast on the shapes.

Step 31 – Letter "E"

This letter will be very similar to the snake textured one since we are using a Frog image.

This will be perhaps the most difficult letter to texture because of the number of sides and curved shapes, so take your time to morph the texture carefully.

Paint also over the main layers to make scales around the edges of the letter just like in step 21.

Step 32 – Tongue Detail

Grab the pen tool and draw a path in a new layer like the example below the fill it with a bright color red.

Clip mask a layer to this shape and paint over with a soft round brush some shading and highlights. Below, paint a shadow that’s going to help blend with the Letter:

Using the Polygonal Lasso tool, draw a swirly selection on top of the tongue shape. With a soft round brush at low opacity (about 20%) and color white, brush gently inside the selection. Just paint softly over the edges to make a saliva effect on the tongue.

Step 33 – Shadows

Create a new layer between the "F" and "E" layers and paint the shadow that falls on the letter.

The second word of your typography should look now something like this, with all the texturing and shading applied:

Step 34

At this point you can take out the gradient layer we put in step 2 to help us have some contrast between the background and the shapes we were working on, leaving an almost white background with noise.

Step 35 – Text shadow

Create a new layer on top of the noise layer of your background and using a soft round brush with color black set to about 20% opacity, Paint shadows under the text based on your light source:

Step 36 – Final Adjustments

To finish things off, we are going to add a Brightness and contrast adjustment layers to enhance highlights, shadows and color saturation. Go to Layer > New Adjustment layer > Brightness and contrast and set the next values: (this layer should be on top of all the layers).

Your text should now look something like this with the new adjustment layer:
