I am trying to do this exact same effect. You will need to create an animated texture. The way I create animated textures is to use a texture atlas. the image size could be say 1024x1024 and you could have 16 frames of animation arranged in 4x4 frames. each frame would be 256x256 in size. In unity you would apply the texture to a 2d plane (square surface made up of 2 triangles). Search for AnimatedTexture for a script that iterates through frames on an atlas. Hope this helps.
So in other words, it needs to be hand drawn for best results. Hire a 2d graphics artist who can handle animations. Check out www.elance.com or Unity's Developer Network! :)
Cheers mate , I will get my artist on that now , thank you for your help
