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.
Rain: in Chinese a nourishing and welcome thing far more often than a gloomy one.
Before you commit
Choose with careRain here is usually good news — 及時雨, timely rain, means a rescuer. The English melancholy reading is not the default.
JapaneseThe identical character in Japanese, read ame, and common enough there that it will not mark the piece as Chinese.
At small sizesThe four inner dots close up quickly. Below about 3 cm they read as two short bars.
Meaning
Rain.
Eight strokes, a frame with four dots, and one of the most recognisable characters there is.

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.
