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.

Characters
Same in both
Layout
Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
Revulsion — not being able to stand something.
Before you commit
Choose with care厭 is about being fed up rather than repulsed. For the visceral sense you want 噁心, and 惡 is risky because most readers see evil first.
Pairs well with厭 + 惡 gives 厭惡, unmistakable loathing, with none of the ambiguity of either character alone.
At small sizes14 strokes under a cliff radical, tightly stacked. The interior fills in early — size it up or pick something else.
Meaning
To loathe; to be sick of.
Disgust as accumulated distaste rather than a sudden turn of the stomach.

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.
