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.
Conspicuous bravery, usually in a fight, carried off with style.
Before you commit
Choose with careChinese has no single word covering both battlefield bravery and courtly manners towards women. 勇 gives you only the first; the second is nearer 風度, meaning bearing or grace.
Pairs well with勇氣 means courage as a quality; 英勇 means gallant in action. Choose by whether you mean the feeling or the deed.
At small sizesNine strokes, wide and open at the top over a strength radical. Reliable small.
Meaning
Brave, courageous; willing to go forward into danger.
The plain character for courage in action, which is gallantry's core.

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.
