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

Layout

The consistent manner of a person or a work. Chinese builds the word from wind - style as the air a thing carries.

Before you commit

Choose with care風 on its own means wind. Every reader sees weather first, and the style reading only appears with 格 beside it.

JapaneseJapanese reads 風格 (fūkaku) as dignity or presence rather than style, so the sense shifts if a Japanese reader sees it.

At small sizesNineteen strokes over two characters. 風 has a large enclosing hook that wants space to keep its shape.

Meaning

Style; the characteristic manner of an artist, writer or design.

The exact word, used of painting, prose, architecture and clothes alike.

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.
