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.

Same in both
Layout
Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
Light given off, and the same quality in a face. Chinese has several characters for shining and they are not interchangeable.
Before you commit
Choose with care輝 almost never stands alone in modern Chinese. It lives inside 光輝 and 輝煌, and readers meet it most often as a man's given name.
JapaneseJapanese uses 輝 (kagayaki) freely, including as a name, so it reads comfortably as Japanese.
At small sizesFifteen strokes split left and right, with a covered 軍 on the right. The cover and the horizontals beneath it fill in when small.
Meaning
Radiance, brightness; light shed by something.
The shine of sun, lamp or achievement - 光輝 is the standing pair.

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.
