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

Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
Spirits lifted sharply by good news — joy with the volume up and the body involved.
Before you commit
Choose with careThere is no single character for elation. 昂 alone reads as raised or held high, so a word is the honest choice here.
Choose with care興奮 is also the ordinary medical word for being stimulated or aroused, which gives it an unintended edge in some contexts.
Pairs well with欣喜若狂 for elation past all restraint, 神采飛揚 for a face lit with it.
Meaning
Glad and delighted; joy at something that has just gone well.
The natural word for elation, without the physical arousal 興奮 implies.

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.
