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.
Being one thing only, with nothing mixed in.
Before you commit
Choose with care純 is also used commercially of pure wool, pure milk and pure gold. On a person it reads as guileless or naive at least as often as it reads as morally pure.
Pairs well with純潔 means pure and clean and points clearly at moral purity; 清淨 is the Buddhist pairing for a mind free of disturbance.
At small sizesTen strokes with a silk radical on the left. Moderately dense; acceptable at medium size.
Meaning
Pure, unmixed, unadulterated; also simple-hearted.
Purity as unmixedness, which works for both people and materials.

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.
