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.
Honour won and seen by others. In Chinese it is usually glory reflected onto a family rather than kept by a person.
Before you commit
Choose with care榮 doubles as flourishing in the botanical sense - 繁榮 prosperity, 欣欣向榮 thriving growth. The plant reading sits right beside the honour one.
At small sizesFourteen strokes, with two small flame shapes crowded above a cover. The top is where it clogs first at small scale.
Cultural noteGlory in Chinese usage is normally passed upward. The set phrase is bringing honour to your ancestors, not winning glory for yourself.
Meaning
Glory, honour; also flourishing and thriving.
The character in 光榮 glorious and 榮譽 honour.
Other characters for “glory”
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.
