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.
Script
Characters
Same in both
Layout
Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
What registers in you before you name it — sensation and emotion in one word.
Before you commit
Choose with care感 does not really stand alone as a noun in speech. On its own it reads as a fragment waiting for a second character, the way sens- would in English.
JapaneseSame kanji, read kan, with the same sense. On its own the glyph will not read as specifically Chinese.
At small sizes13 strokes, a heart under 咸, and reasonably open. It holds its shape better than most characters of that count.
Meaning
To feel, to sense; a felt response.
The character in 感覺, 感情 and 感動 — the root of feeling anything.

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.
