Two versions of the same picture, and both are free with no account and no watermark. The first has no background at all, which is the one to send your artist — but a phone or computer photo viewer set to dark will show black strokes on dark grey and it can look like nothing downloaded. If that happens, use the second one: identical characters on a plain white background. Either way you get the characters on their own — the square and the faint guide lines you see above are not in the file. Each character is 1000px, so a two-character download is 2000×1000, and the script and layout are the ones you picked.

Same in both
Layout
Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
Being angry — the general emotion, anywhere from irritation to a real temper.
Before you commit
Choose with care怒 is stronger than English angry — nearer wrath. For being annoyed, no Chinese reader would pick this character.
At small sizes9 strokes over a broad 心 base; the heart holds the character up and stays legible when reduced.
Cultural note怒 is one of the seven emotions in Chinese medicine, where it is said to injure the liver — a well-known association.
Meaning
Anger, wrath.
The main character for anger, sitting on a heart radical.

What to do next
Pick the script and layout you want above, download the PNG, and send that file to your artist. Ask them to work from the file rather than redrawing the character freehand — that is where strokes go missing.
