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.
Bent, tested, but not snapped. Chinese has a fine single character for this, and it means tough in the way leather or a good rope is tough.
Before you commit
Choose with care韌 is about flexibility, not hardness. If you mean unbroken in the sense of never having bent at all, 剛 or 堅 is closer, and they mean something different.
Pairs well with堅韌 combines firm and tough, and is the usual word for resilience in a person. It reads better than either character alone.
At small sizesTwelve strokes, split left and right with a blade element on the right. Reasonable small; keep the two halves clearly separated.
Meaning
Tough, pliant and unbreakable; able to bend under load without snapping.
Exactly the English sense of unbroken - it gives, and it survives.

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.
