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.
Reaping what was grown, and by extension what you gain from effort put in earlier.
Before you commit
Choose with care穫 alone reads as the verb to reap and looks incomplete to a modern eye. If you want the noun harvest, 收穫 is what a Chinese reader expects.
Pairs well with收穫 is the natural pairing. 豐收, abundant harvest, is the phrase used for a genuinely good year.
At small sizesAround 18 strokes with a crowded right side. It fills in badly below a few centimetres.
Meaning
To reap a grain crop; the act of gathering it in.
The character that actually carries the harvest meaning, though it is rarely written alone.

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.
