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

Rubbing mode: white on black, as a stone rubbing. The download is unaffected.
The appetite to find out - wanting an explanation for its own sake rather than for any use.
Before you commit
Choose with careNo single character means curiosity. 奇 by itself reads as odd or peculiar, and can describe the person rather than their appetite.
Pairs well with好奇心 for a curious nature, 求知 for the hunger to know, 探索 for exploring.
At small sizesFourteen strokes across the pair, both fairly open. It behaves well small, and 奇 alone is one of the most reliable shapes here.
Meaning
Curious; drawn to whatever has not been explained.
The ordinary word, used of a toddler and a researcher in the same breath.

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.
