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.
The loosening that comes when a weight is finally lifted off.
Before you commit
Choose with careNo single character means relief as a noun. 舒 is about comfort and ease — 舒服 just means feeling well, which is weaker than you may intend.
Pairs well with舒 + 心 gives 舒心, an easy heart; 釋懷 means letting a thing go and stopping turning it over.
At small sizes12 strokes split left and right with good separation. Reliable at small scale.
Meaning
To unfold; to ease; to feel comfortable.
The physical sense of tension letting go.

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.
