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.
Open uncultivated country, and the wildness of anything left untamed.
Before you commit
Choose with care野 applied to a person means crude, unruly or wildly ambitious. It is not a compliment on its own.
Pairs well with野性 is wild nature or an untamed streak, and 曠野 gives open country without the insult.
At small sizesEleven strokes in two balanced halves. Fine at moderate sizes, tight below that.
Meaning
Open country, the wild; also untamed, rough, ambitious.
One character for wild land and wild temperament 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.
