Hey Everyone,

This is the fourth and final challenge for December, and it is open only to Premium Plus+ Yearly members. This one is a little different from the others.

Your goal for this challenge is to create one image that represents who you are becoming in the year ahead.

This is about momentum, motivation, and direction. It is something you can look back at throughout the year and remind yourself why you are building, creating, and showing up.


What You Need to Create.

Create one image using Image Studio that represents:

  • who you want to become
  • the business you are building
  • the lifestyle you are working toward
  • the confidence or freedom you want to feel
  • the goals you are moving toward
  • the version of you one year from now

This image does not need to explain itself. It does not need text. It does not need to make sense to anyone else.

It just needs to feel right to you.

How You Can Create Your Image for This Challenge.

You are welcome to:

โ€ข use your logo or brand
โ€ข use symbols or abstract ideas
โ€ข create something realistic or artistic
โ€ข create something simple or detailed
โ€ข use personal imagery through reference images if you want
โ€ข create something purely visual with no text

There is no right or wrong here.

How to Enter the Challenge.

1. Post your image in the comments below

One image only.

2. Add a short explanation

A sentence or two about what this image represents for you.

3. Like at least 3 other entries

This helps support others and keeps the challenge positive and active.

Take your time with this one, but do not overthink it. The best images usually come from instinct.

Prizes (10 Winners)

Each winner will receive:

โ€ข 50 dollars in Cash Credits
โ€ข 200 dollars in AI Credits (40,000 credits)

Total challenge value: 2,500 dollars.


Not Upgraded Yet?

Only Premium Plus+ Yearly members can take part in this challenge. If you want to join and take part in the final challenge of December, you can still upgrade here:

This challenge is not just about creating an image. It is about setting intention for the FUTURE YOU. The YOU in 2026.

You can then save this image, use it as a desktop background, or keep it as a reminder throughout the year. It becomes something personal, something grounding, and something motivating.

That is exactly what this challenge is meant to be.

PS. Happy New Year, we are looking forward to an exciting 2026 ahead!

This image represents an outcome. This represents the confidence I've built, the steps I've taken to achieve it. The exact path to how I get there is unknown, but I know my next step.

Well stated.

Cool!

Love the outcome, and nice new car!

Nice Robert. I'm up for a ride when you get it. :-)

Awesome.

Nice one!

My image is a visual reminder of the clarity, freedom, and momentum Iโ€™m building into the year ahead. This represents the future version of me โ€” focused, structured, and moving forward with purpose. It is a symbol of the systems, lifestyle, and confidence Iโ€™m creating through my website Blueprint to Passive.

Love that Geoff! :)

Thanks Kyle

Good one!

Nice Geoff.

Well done, Geoff! Love it.

That really fits to the Blueprint!

Nice work.

This is awesome!

My image shows a realistic vision of my 2026 goal achieved. I'm currently training in mounted search and rescue with my senior horse, my goal is to complete training and become an active msar volunteer. My studio image is me with my dream horse (image studio created, I haven't found her yet) along with my dog lending a helping paw.

Thank you for this challenge it was fun to visualize my goal in action. I think I'll keep this image on my vision board for 2026. Wishing everyone a great year ahead!

You fooled me, that looks like your horse for sure. Great idea; a horse can get in further than a truck or quad.

You Rock

Very nice Katie.

Mel

Well done!

Very cool, love the authentic nature of the image as well. That looks like the west coast of Canada (the trees and landscape). Wishing you amazing things in 2026!

The Future Me - Continuing on The Path That Exists

The lower layer shows where I am today: grounded, present, and in motion. The unfinished ground and simple seating represent a phase of building, testing, and proving ideas. I have a direction, but challenges remain. I am making progress, but I am not fully stabilized.

The transparent overlay represents one year of correct decisions. The future version of the same place is no longer provisional. The ground is finished. The space is intentional. Nothing is temporary. This layer isn't luxurious, but functional.

The key difference between the two layers is the infrastructure. It is complete and ready for solid upgrades.

Success is not a destination. It is building something that removes obstacles so progress can continue without constant effort. The finished stone, wood, and clean edges represent work that has been completed and now supports polishing the existing layer.

The closed box and journal symbolize completed grunt work and accumulated knowledge. They are present, but not being used or displayed. That is intentional. I have put the work in. My Niche Selection Service is solid. It is upgrading on its own merits.

This image reflects my belief that the future version of myself isnโ€™t someone who works harder, travels farther, or looks more impressive. I am someone whose environment finally reflects the systems I built. The journey continues, but the ground no longer fights back.

That is the future I am building toward.

Nice one!

That is wonderful, Mr. Don.

Paul.

Would love to see the finished product when you get there!

1

That is my 2026...

Hope you like Trout Fishing!

This image represents the future version of me โ€” someone who has built both freedom and clarity, where I can sit by the ocean, slow down, and allow ideas to flow naturally instead of constantly chasing them.


this image took an entire afternoon, nearly 30 generations, and a lot of reference images fed into Image Studio before it finally got close to what I was aiming for.

Beautiful, Genie.

I have no doubt you can do it.

JD

2

Thank you, JD dear ๐Ÿ˜Š

2

You are welcome, Genie.

Please watch for my post today or tomorrow.

JD

2

sure! please give me the link ^^

2

Thanks. I am working on it right now.

So no link yet. I hope to post it today.

JD

That is totally wonderful, Genie. I love the building, the surf, and that it looks like a painting worthy of hanging in that house on the beach.

You Rock.

You're welcome.

2

Love this image, Genie! It was worth the time :)

Teri

2

I love it. Enjoy it for all its worth. I have a similar vision for myself.

2

Love the setting there, very cool! :)

Cheers, Kyle

And one more feedback

I just wanted to share a small frustration ๐Ÿ˜…

Iโ€™m finding that Image Studio still struggles quite a bit with character portrayal, especially when it comes to people.
My prompt was asking for someone with a sporty, athletic brand-model body, sitting casually in my seaside wabi-sabi villa, enjoying coffee and reflective notes โ€” radiating the confidence and happiness that come with financial freedom.

However, the system kept giving me either a grandma-like figure or someone who looked more like a market auntie ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Thatโ€™s honestly why I ended up generating around 30 images.
Throughout the process, I also had to repeatedly feed the system reference images from Pinterest to guide it, and only then did I finally get a result that was somewhat close to what I had in mind.

Just wanted to share this as feedback โ€” I love the tool, but character consistency still feels like a big challenge.

Thanks for listening,
Genie

2

Hey, Genie.

Sorry to but in, but have you given it a reference photo? Plus you might need to tighten down your prompt some more. I am finding both of those actions help.

JD

Looks good!Super realistic!

Awesome, image!

Lovely! Well done.

Paul.

Nice Genie.

I see the extra coffee, just need an extra chair and I'll sit there beside you and enjoy the lovely view. If you are willing to share the view.

๐Ÿ˜‚ Aww thank you so much! You just made my beach house dreams feel like they deserve to be in an art gallery now ๐ŸŽจ๐ŸŒŠ
All Iโ€™m missing is a hammock and a mojito!
Thanks for stopping by๏ผ

You rock harder ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿค™

2

Tks Teri ๐Ÿ˜Š I definitely need to keep working on getting more comfy with the systemโ€”but encouragement like yours really helps! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ป

Aww thank you! ๐Ÿ˜Š I can totally see you making that vision real too โ€” hereโ€™s to both of us living it up in our dream lives, full force! Letโ€™s keep building it, step by step ๐Ÿ’ชโœจ

1

Hi JD dear! ๐Ÿ˜„

Yes exactly โ€” thatโ€™s the trick! I did feed it tons of photos before reaching this look, but I think I went a little overboard tweaking itโ€ฆ now itโ€™s starting to look more like a painting than a pic ๐Ÿ˜‚ Next time Iโ€™ll keep the prompt tighter and see if that helps keep it crisp! Thanks for the tip ๐Ÿค™โœจ

Genie

1

Thanks so much Anthony! ๐Ÿ˜Š Took me a few tries but Iโ€™m super glad it finally hit that โ€œreal but dreamyโ€ sweet spot haha! Appreciate you stopping by! ๐ŸŽจโœจ

Thank you! ๐Ÿ˜Š That means a lot!

1

Thanks so much, Paul! ๐Ÿ˜Š

1

Thanks a bunch, Mel! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Wishing you great success!

1

That is good, Genie.

JD

1

That's my plan.

1

You are welcome.

Paul.

Oh, the best naps ever are on a hammock.

๐Ÿคช

Most of my plans crumble due to the constant interference of real life.
Instead of dwelling on failures, I focus on small successes.
I also make a conscious effort to walk daily, taking small steps towards my goals.

Poetry is not a niche in the MMO genre; itโ€™s about building an audience, creating content, helping others and sharing happiness.

Remember... poetry shaped revolutions for the better.

This year will be one of great revealing...

Thanks for the very realistic Image!

Deep thoughts went into this. Good job and have a prosperous new year!

You are most welcome Fleeky.

Mel

Yes, Fleeky. Life does have a habit of getting in the way of our plans, but you are doing great! Focusing on small successes and taking small steps towards your goals will get you there - even if you have to make a few detours.

Sending lots of good wishes your way for a wonderful 2026 with wonderful revelations.

Isabella

1

Your image is: very Fleeky in fact!

2

I can relate to your comment about "interference of real life". I think we all or at least most of us struggle with that. I know what I want and am trying to do but I have a heck of time staying with a continuous routine. All any of us can do is our best. Nice image.

2

Awesome Fleeky, those small successes will really start to add up!

2

Can't wait, Fleeky. Can't wait! Keep up the good work.
Gail

2

No detours... some halts... ๐Ÿ˜‰

Thank you Isabella

They do... thnks for these ๐Ÿ™Œ

Wait and see indeed ๐Ÿ˜œ

1

Yes, doing is crucial for me in 2026, especially after building content.

2

Excellent Fleeky.

Pursuing your passion is what life should be all about!
