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.
Strong feeling with heat in it — romantic, creative, or both, depending on which word you pick.
Before you commit
Choose with care情 covers feeling generally — friendship, family, mood and circumstance as well as romance. It is graceful but broad, not specifically passionate.
Choose with care激情 carries a distinctly physical, sexual charge in modern usage. If you mean passion for your work, 熱情 or 熱忱 avoids that reading entirely.
At small sizes情 is eleven strokes, a slim heart radical beside a taller right half. It suits vertical placements and reduces without losing structure.
Meaning
Feeling, emotion, affection; the substance of a bond.
The character under almost every passion word, and elegant standing 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.
