The Garret P.I Series by Glen Cook: A match for Taltos too. A strange mix between hard boild crime stories and humor.
Martin is harder to match. I always recommend The Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson, but purly on how good it is (as martin is too). But it is otherwise very different. If you like the grim aspect, maybe Abercrombie would be to your liking.
A special one: The broken empire series by Mark Lawrence. The main character is a very bad person. It is very dark. But since you like martin and brust, this could be what you are looking for.
Oh, and don't read Goodkind

I second the recommendation of Glen Cook and the Garret books. His Black Company books are also well worth reading. I've got all the Garret books in paper and all save "Old Tin Sorrows" and "Red Iron Nights" in ebooks. For some reason, neither of those books have come out in ebooks that I have found.
