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.

Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
Earth: ground and soil, and in classical thought the receptive, yielding counterpart to heaven.
Before you commit
Choose with care土 alone is common slang for unfashionable or countrified. Of the two plain options, 地 is much safer to wear.
Pairs well with天地 — heaven and earth, the pair that means the whole world.
At small sizes地 is six strokes and open, one of the more forgiving characters at small scale.
Meaning
Ground; land; earth as a place.
Six strokes, and the character inside every word about land and location.

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.
