Hey Fugu,
The sharpee would smear if you went over it now. You could try sealing the surface with acrylic matte medium, which would seal and protect your piece and the sharpie from any moisture mishaps, then age it. But test it first, I am not 100% sure if sharpie over acrylic paint won't smear when matte medium is brushed over it. looks sharp anyways! in the future, you can make a age wash by mixing greys, ochres and burnt umber with water. Really thin it down, brush it over quickly, then rag it off. that is the simplest way. If you really want to get into it, grab some matte medium and some acrylic airbrush medium to add in with the water, this slows the drying time (important when aging a paper type surface)and makes it a bit slicker. always test the surface first to see how the color will darken when thoroughly dry, and to test opacity.
once again, fucking cool idea and great work!
Damn, now i really want to make one of these!
Aloha kaua
