No idea whether Lifthrasir has the software to do it (I assume you need Adobe After Effects or Premiere Pro rather than just Photoshop), but the rat's colours could probably change left to right or something like that. It'd probably increase the file size by a heap though.
I can make an animated gif with the colors changing around. As the gif format compresses quite a lot the pics, the size shouldn't be a problem here. Also, note that the animated gif usually loses quality but this model is not especially "precise". So again, that shouldn't be a problem.
If you want it, I'll just need a bit more time

@ Pal, where are the red mountains?
Also, these are a bit too large. The max size allowed for a sig is 550x175. These are 412x180
@ Brigadier Graham, here is your animated gif:
Is that ok for you?

That's a surprise .
Mine is 412x180. I thought this was fine. Maybe I can increase to 550x180?
I've been thinking about some animation like that for my avatar for a while now but I never got around making it.
This reminded me.
I've always seen 550x175 as the biggest size allowed to sigs. Here is an example. Considering that Finlander is by far more qualified than me on the matter, I guess that we can trust him
With Photoshop, the animated gif are quite simple to do. I know that there are some other softwares able to do that but I don't know for Gimp.
However, note that you're loosing quite a big amount of quality during the conversion. For a simple model such as the one done above, that's not a big deal. For more complex pic, it might be.
Also keep an eye on the size of your animated gif. This one above is about 282 Ko. It's only 80 Kb for an avatar.

If you come by Dunkirk one day, give me a shout. He'll only cost you a beer

You just need to learn to think like the customer
Regarding the current request f.e. what does NJ wants? An indian on a pony with the red mountains of Utah behind. Considering his TWC name, you can easily guess that something relating to the Navajo tribe would be welcome (even if his name refers to the movie from 1966). Considering the said mountains, the main colour of the sig should be red. The rest is up to you
So in this case, I'd make a search about the Navajo tribe and Manuelito (probably their most famous chief), then on a Navajo horseman or by default a native american horseman and finally the red mountains of Utah. All these should provide the raw material for the sig.
That's how I work for requests
Just my 2 cents and hope it helps
Note that I might be wrong and NJ can come here and just kick me out

Yes, well, the client may always be right and although they usually know when they are not wrong, they very frequently don't know if they can be "righter" until we let them know.
That's my marketing instructor's 2 cents about client mentality.
Rider brought a bit closer and I have prepared a somewhat sexier one:
Some alternates:
And a few more backgrounds:
Omg, wow the last four signatures are FANTASTIC, now you have given me a problem of which one, I really love the top left and bottom right. I must thank you for all your hardwork and time that you have spent, they are perfect.
Infact what I thought was an Indian Pony, was not, yours is most certainly, it would appear that I thought an Appaloosa was an Indian pony.
One last request any chance you can change the Pony for an Appaloosa, just to see what it looks like.
