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.
A body of people who belong together. Chinese picks a different word for the place and for the people.
Before you commit
Choose with care群 is closer to flock or crowd than to community. It counts people, it does not say they belong to each other, and it is used of sheep and birds as readily as of people.
Pairs well with社群 for a community of people, 社區 for the place they live. Either says what 群 alone leaves out.
At small sizesThirteen strokes with a wide left-right split. Holds up at moderate size; below that the right side crowds.
Meaning
A group, a flock, a body of people together.
The character in every word about people gathered as a set.

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.
