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

A pack of wolves; in Chinese the image is coordinated hunting aggression rather than loyalty or brotherhood.

Before you commit

Choose with careThe brotherhood and family reading English speakers attach to wolf pack does not survive translation. 狼群 suggests a hunting swarm closing in.

At small sizes群 is thirteen strokes and wide. Match the visual weight of the two characters or the pair looks lopsided.

Cultural note狼性 — wolf nature — is common Chinese corporate slang for an aggressive, always-on work culture. That association sits close by.

Meaning

A pack of wolves.

The plain correct word; no single character says pack of wolves.

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.
